See the latest from our analysis of what to expect from a Labour government after the 4 July election. What do you know of the prospective slate of potential Labour MPs? We aim to do the hard work of distilling all the noise into clear actionable insights.

Timely research that is well worth considering as companies start to plan for engaging with a Labour government in the UK.

It’s been a busy week for General Election polling. I appreciate this might not be exciting for everyone (sadly it is for me!) but it does matter for businesses whose operating environment will be determined by a new government. First, the poll from Survation predicting 468 seats for Labour, leaving the Conservatives with just 98 MPs. This was followed by yesterday’s YouGov poll predicting a slightly lower number of seats for Labour, but still an impressive 403. Regardless of which of these is most accurate, polling consistently points to a Labour government. If you’d like to have a chat about what this means for your business, just let me know. In the meantime, take a look👇 at our guide to the key issues for the Party, what they mean for business, and how to engage effectively: https://bit.ly/3V0I77o

For a party set to win the UK General Election, surprisingly little is known about Labour’s swathe of Prospective Parliamentary Candidates (PPCs). To better understand what is likely to shape the future direction of a Labour government, Penta has analysed the public views and campaigns of almost 150 of Labour’s PPCs throughout 2023 to gain an understanding of what will motivate them post-election. Penta’s analysis has identified a number of key areas where Labour PPCs diverge from the party’s leadership. We believe that these divergences are an important signal to what they will campaign on - and pressure the Labour Government on - if they are elected to Parliament on 4th July. Will your business in Europe be affected by the outcome of this election? Interested to read the report and analysis in full?

Guess who said this (and when): "The Government in Whitehall is overloaded, and as a result people in the regions grow increasingly impatient about the decisions being made in London which they know could be better made locally. Under our new style of government, we will devolve government power so that more decisions are made locally. We will bring forward a sensible measure of local government reform which will involve a genuine devolution of power from the central government."
