The Institute of Research and Reforms (IRR) International is a UK-based think tank founded by philanthropist @AliRehmanMalik3 in 2022. IRR International works to strengthen public trust in governance and improve policymaking through data-driven research, advocacy, and conducts regular national polling. Mentioned in Politico, The Daily Mail, Daily Express, The New European, Mail Online, GB News, The Times, Lancashire Telegraph, and NewsLeaf, IRR has led campaigns on critical issues — from opposing unjust cuts to the winter fuel allowance to evacuating and resettling Afghan women at risk under Taliban rule. Our mission is to deliver evidence-based policy recommendations, enhance institutional accountability, and build public trust in democratic systems.

Our latest @IRR_Intl polling with @Savanta_UK suggests the public wants more power brought closer to where people live. For many people, decisions have felt increasingly distant from the communities they affect. Featured in the @DailyMail dailymail.com/news/article-1…

Our work in Lancashire has repeatedly demonstrated that interventions are often most effective when they are designed and delivered locally. IRR International welcomes Andy Burnham’s commitment to devolution and regional renewal while recognising that long-term success will depend on effective implementation.

Politics is not only about ideology. It is also about place. In his latest article, our chairman @AliRehmanMalik3 explores why politicians who appear rooted in real communities retain an advantage over purely national, media-driven brands. Read: alirehmanmalik.substack.com/…

Britain urgently needs a new social contract with its younger generations. Too many young people feel locked out of stability, opportunity and home ownership despite doing everything society asked of them. My latest for @LBC ⬇️ lbc.co.uk/article/young-peop…

The Triple Lock debate is about more than pensions. It raises deeper questions about trust, legitimacy and the future of the social contract. How can institutions maintain public confidence while adapting to changing realities? Read @AliRehmanMalik3’s article: alirehmanmalik.substack.com/…

IRR International Chairman @AliRehmanMalik3 writes for @LBC on why Britain urgently needs a new social contract with its younger generations. Without stability, dignity and believable pathways into adulthood, social fragmentation will deepen. Read ⬇️ lbc.co.uk/article/young-peop…

Good to see local coverage of the work being done in Kirkham. Initiatives like this matter because they operate where structure is needed most at the community level. blackpoolgazette.co.uk/news/…
