I was drinking my coffee this morning and noticed that Reform UK appear to be doing some things that could disrupt the UK small business / recruitment / labour market in the UK. Clearly if you are self employed this is going to win votes. I wonder how long it will be before the main parties follow suit? https://lnkd.in/guSDQf5n #ReformUK #SmallBusiness #RecruitmentIndustry #SelfEmployed #EconomicDisruption #PoliticalImpact #MainParties #VoteWinning #BusinessGrowth #LabourMarket #EconomicRecovery #PolicyChanges #UKPolitics #IndustryShift #BusinessInnovation #EconomicTransformation #WorkforceFlexibility #LabourShortages #EconomicOutlook #BusinessAdvice #EconomicResilience

Breaking News: Labour Wins UK Election by Landslide The Labour Party has secured a landslide victory, ending 14 years of Conservative rule. "We did it! Change begins now," said incoming Prime Minister Keir Starmer. This political shift comes as voters focused on key issues like the cost of living, the health service, and housing. As we look ahead, we anticipate significant developments in the property market under the new government. Stay tuned with Portway Finance for insights and updates on how these changes may impact property finance and investment in the UK. #UKPropertyMarket #ElectionResults #PropertyFinance

So the nation has voted. Clearly there was a desire for change. No one can argue the Conservative party, from a PR perspective at least, have been truly awful in recent years. Whilst this result demonstrates the strength of democracy in the UK (albeit it not truly reflective due to the parlimentary system of seats) I don't see a huge sense of belief in Labour. It just feels like "well they can't be any worse" It certainly doesn't feel like a new Era in the way the Blair administration did. The conservative in-fighting and implosion is the real cause of this change rather than any great hope or belief in Labour Policies, indeed this campaign wasn't even about Policies. It was about one party being slightly less incompetent and slightly more trustworthy than the other... A damming endightment of both parties really. I do not believe Labour is the answer and certainly in my world there is a great deal of concern from property investors on inflation, landlord protection, planning reform etc but all we can do is adapt. It is a new administration and only time will tell. In the meantime we adapt and navigate and see where the opportunities lie despite red tape, administration and politics. I hope I am wrong and this result will bring about some positive change. In the meantime Buckle up, keep calm and carry on.

Labour’s decisive majority win in the General Election is likely to be initially taken positively by markets, according to St. James's Place (SJP) CIO, Justin Onuekwusi. “The UK election has played out as expected and has consolidated our positive view,” he says. “The clarity of outcome and resultant policy certainty going forward should lead to confidence in the growth outlook for the UK economy. The new Labour government may be seen as a boon for broader trade relations though any planned policy changes are likely to take some time to implement, so there is unlikely to be any immediate economic effects from this election result.” The election outcome may result in a short-term uplift, but Justin believes there are longer-term reasons to favour UK companies – of all sizes – post election.

The UK has elected a new Labour Government - a guide to their priorities People across the UK are waking up to a new government led by a different political party for the first time in 14 years. The Labour Party have won a substantial victory and the new Prime Minister will be Sir Keir Starmer. The focus of the government is on economic stability and growth - a tough task in the current global economic climate. Here's a summary of the new government's priorities: https://lnkd.in/ePr28gaD #newgovernment #economicgrowth #ukbusiness

Key points on Labour's economic approach in Government: - Not enough to just boost headline growth, people need to feel actual day to day benefits. - "Everyday economy" is key according to Rachel Reeves. Focus will be on connection with voters through policy not simply delivery. - People should be able to feel they can go to B&Q on a Sunday and buy what they need to redecorate their child's b droom.

The Prime Minister said yesterday in his speech that the government "will work closely with the private sector" https://lnkd.in/dmN-y76z, so we're listening intently to the Labour Party conference this week to understand how any announcements could affect us and other SME business owners. #sme #smallbusinessowners #businessowners #labourconference #privatesector #privateinvestors

The not-so-strange death of two-tier England? Labour’s new white paper on local government reform could bring the biggest shake-up since the 1970s. By creating unitary councils of around 500,000 residents, the aim is to: 🔹 Ease financial pressures, especially in social care 🔹 Deliver more streamlined, joined-up services 🔹 Lay the groundwork for further devolution But, challenges remain: boundary disputes, local flexibility, and representation in rural areas. 👉 Read our latest insight from Jason Brock: https://lnkd.in/eWPhhfMe Is this the reform local government needs?
