How it works
See Britain today
Start from a real 2026 baseline built on ONS, OBR, NHS England, and Home Office data. 100k NHS vacancies. 1.41 fertility rate. £137bn borrowing. This is what you inherit.
Set your policies
Choose a governing philosophy then fine-tune 24 policy levers — migration targets, NHS spending, housebuilding, training investment, border enforcement, and more.
Run and observe
Simulate 1 to 10 years forward. Watch 16 output metrics respond. Every outcome traces back through a causal chain you can inspect and challenge.
Britain 2036 is a transparent, evidence-based policy simulation built on 119 baseline variables across 6 domains, connected by 72 causal relationships. Every data point is sourced from ONS, NHS England, OBR, Home Office, IFS, and the Migration Observatory. Every assumption can be inspected and challenged.
