  • Britain’s Changing Position in Global Trade: As the UK chases growth, it must answer calls from business to improve international trade

    March 31, 2023

    Earlier this month, the UK Chancellor of the Exchequer Jeremy Hunt announced his Spring Budget, with an ambition to get people into employment and boost economic growth.

At the least, the market would naturally rebalance; trade lost with the UK’s closest partners in...

    March 15, 2023

    The Economic Picture Today, Jeremy Hunt became only the second of the past five chancellors to hold the famous red box outside Number 11, with three of his predecessors not having lasted long enough in the job to be able to hold an official Budget.

    March 3, 2023

    Luke Downham, Account Director, Public Affairs & Head of the Labour Unit Keir Starmer’s launch of Labour’s “Five Missions” for Government represents the beginning of a new phase in the party’s strategy to re-take Number 10 in 2024 after fourteen years of Opposition. With the party consistently 20+ points ahead in the polls, Starmer recognises that 2023 represents a year of heightened scrutiny on his party’s policy proposals. Yet, for many months, focus groups, the Westminster commentariat, and the...

    February 23, 2023

    Adam Newman, Account Manager, Public Affairs Pledge cards are not new in UK politics. In 1997, Tony Blair successfully gave five pledges which focused on his key targets for a new Labour Government, whilst in 2015, Ed Miliband infamously unveiled the ‘Ed Stone’, which was mocked for its vagueness, with promises including “An NHS with time to care.” It seems that in 2023, pledges are all the rage. Last month, UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak...
