The UK General Election Results: What comes next

The Flint Podcast

We now know who will form the next UK government. Starmer will head into the weekend leading a Labour government with a sizable parliamentary majority. However, while the most likely outcome of the election has been predicted for some time, there will still be business-critical lessons to learn from the results and the approach, we can expect the incoming government to take.

In this Flint Podcast, our experts explore these questions and what they mean for businesses and investors. They consider the personnel of the new government as ministerial appointments begin, how Labour will prioritise and make decisions in its early days, and what in practice Labour policy and the ‘Mission Boards’ they want to establish to achieve it are likely to look like. Considering the longer term, they will also cover what impact backbenchers and the opposition parties will have over the Parliament, and how constraints in fiscal policy and the House of Lords will be managed.
