It was the biggest political night since the general election. More than five thousand council seats across England. A new Welsh parliament returning results not seen in over a century. And Scotland choosing its government for the fifth time since devolution began.
The dust has settled. The results are in. And the picture that’s emerged is one that every business and institution operating in Britain needs to understand.
Reform now controls councils and has entered both devolved parliaments. Labour has lost Wales for the first time since 1922. The Prime Minister is facing the most serious questions of his tenure. And across England, the planning committees, procurement processes, and local partnerships your organisation depends on are, in many cases, now run by different people with different priorities.
Our podcast – with experts from across politics and the UK – tells a story about how Britain is governed and what that means for the decisions being made in your boardroom.
We’ve spent the weekend talking to the people who understand this best: our teams across central government, local government, Scotland and Wales, alongside experts who have been at the centre of these political shifts. We’ve turned those conversations into a twenty-minute podcast that cuts through the noise and gets to what actually matters.
