In this episode of Political Business, Nathan Parsad-Wyatt and Kevin McKeever bring you exclusive insights direct from the Labour Party Conference 2025 in Liverpool.

We unpack:

• What Keir Starmer’s landmark speech means for Labour’s future.
• Whether Andy Burnham’s influence has peaked after clashing with the Cabinet.
• The Deputy Leadership race and why it failed to make waves.
• Why the upcoming budget is the real battleground for Labour, with tax rises, VAT expansion, and capital gains reforms on the horizon.
• Steve Reed’s “Build, Baby, Build” housing push – but can Labour really deliver?
• Exclusive reactions from London council leaders (Lambeth, Southwark, Westminster) on growth, business, and local politics.
• The risks Labour faces in the 2025 local elections across London, Wales, and Scotland.

For businesses, investors and political insiders, we share 3 key takeaways:

1. Labour is the government to engage with for the next 4 years.
2. Push for delivery on housing, infrastructure and growth.
3. Keep your eyes firmly on the budget – it will define Labour’s economic credibility.
