Despite winning a surprise election victory just 18 months ago, the Conservative government has been transformed by the vote to leave the EU. Hear from Connect’s trainers about what is really happening in government and behind the scenes of Theresa May’s No. 10.

This Connect training course will give you insight and analysis on the current state of play and how to lobby and influence the future direction of policy and legislation in the months and years ahead.

  • Get under the skin of the Tories in power – what makes the top Tories tick?
  • Understand what motivates Conservative backbenchers
  • What does Brexit mean for the Tories in power and in parliament?
  • Inside Theresa May’s No. 10 – the power at the centre
  • How does the party work – behind the scenes in associations, CCHQ and at party conference
  • “Advisers advise, ministers decide” – the SpAds and others influencing below the radar
  • The think tanks, policy groups and talking shops – navigate the Tories’ factions and clubs
