Tom Fox and Jonathan Armstrong, a renowned expert in cybersecurity, co-host the award-winning “Life with GDPR.” Jonathan has returned from his hiatus, and in this episode, we examine the UK election results and their potential impact on compliance.

The recent UK election has significant implications for compliance, particularly concerning the dynamics between the UK’s Serious Fraud Office (SFO) and the new government. Jonathan Armstrong, an expert on bribery enforcement, anticipates that the new administration under Keir Starmer will focus on high-profile issues like the PPE scandal while maintaining robust enforcement actions, including dawn raids.

Armstrong and Fox bring deep insights into the potential compliance landscape, shaped by their extensive backgrounds: Armstrong’s expertise in corruption investigations and Fox’s experience with the criminal justice system.

Fox highlights the impact of the new Prime Minister’s legal background in bolstering enforcement efforts and contemplates the future governance of AI under this administration. Both experts foresee a political shift, with Armstrong expecting the Conservative Party to lean rightward yet occupy the political center, and Fox emphasizing the continuity and experience the new government brings to compliance and enforcement issues.
