The UK goes to the polls on July 4th 2024, with the current Labour opposition party expected to win a comfortable majority and propel them into government for the first time since 2010. What are the challenges and opportunities that this change of regime creates – and how effective is the new administration likely to be, given the lack of fiscal headroom after several years of crises and rising government debt levels? What will be Sir Keir Starmer’s priorities?
I discuss these important issues with an expert and (crucially) politically independent panel in the latest edition of the popular Money Makers podcast, hosted by Jonathan Davis. You can listen in to this high level 40 minutes conversation by following this link. The other speakers are Nick Macpherson, former permanent secretary at the Treasury from 2005 to 2016, and Ed Balls, journalist, broadcaster and former MP and government minister.
