In the month between the local elections and the General Election, Labour’s fortunes changed dramatically. From the disappointment of returning just two Labour mayors out of a possible six, to derailing the strong and stable leadership of Theresa May in the space of five weeks, it was quite the reversal.

Our recent polling, commissioned from YouGov, reveals that three quarters of business leaders think that a Corbyn Government could come about within five years, and a third of them say they have made at least some preparation for it.

In our latest podcast, Portland's Local Partner, Chris Hogwood outlines why the possibility of a Labour Government cannot be ignored and why business should start engaging seriously with Labour policies.

The podcast also includes insights from our distinguished panel during Portland’s recent 'Labour - a Government in Waiting?' breakfast event. Our expert panel considered how business should seek to engage with the new reality of Labour party policy and explored what a Labour Government might mean for businesses across the UK. Panellists included Stephen Bush (New Statesman), Sam Tarry (Jeremy Corbyn’s leadership campaign manager), Ayesha Hazarika (former Labour adviser and broadcaster) and Portland’s George Pascoe-Watson acting as chair.
