Downtown in Business, in association with Deloitte, hosted an exclusive private dinner at the INNSIDE by Melia hotel in Liverpool on Tuesday evening, reflecting on the Labour Party conference.
Frank McKenna reflects on this week’s Labour Party conference in Liverpool.
The voters verdict on the party conference season will come in next week’s two by elections. Jim looks back on the Liverpool gathering and asks if Sir Keir Starmer has taken a gamble on housing.
How will Labour respond to another extraordinary Tory conference. Jim doesn’t think they can restore HS2 but what about some bold policies on social care and housing?
Jim looks forward to more difficult by elections for the government and fears for the green agenda after last week’s contests.
The stakes are high for Labour and the Conservatives in next week’s “mini General Election. Jim looks at the prospects.
Jim asks are the North West’s two elected mayors risking a dangerous divide with “London Labour” in a row over a mayoral candidate in the North East?
Jim reflects on the return of turmoil in British politics and its not just amongst the Tories. He looks at Sir Keir Starmer’s continuing purge of the left and changes at Town Halls across the region following the local elections.
Frank McKenna explains why Keir Starmer deserves more credit for the job he has done as Labour leader since taking over from Jeremy Corbyn just three-years ago.
It was a great local election result for Labour, so why do doubts remain that the Tory dragon has still not been slain? Jim gives full analysis to all the North West results.
Rishi Sunak has steadied the Tory ship. But can he hold together his ‘broad church’ of a party if the local election results are as bad for the Conservatives as some are predicting?
Does Labour deserve to win the Liverpool elections? That’s the question Jim asks as the city prepares to go to the polls in a very significant all out election next week. After years of scandal and infighting can the Lib Dems and Independents score an unlikely victory?
