This week on Political Business, Kevin and Nathan break down the political decisions shaping the UK business climate right now.
🔹 Keir Starmer’s trade delegation to China — the first UK PM visit in 8 years. Is Britain charting a new economic path between the US and China? What does this mean for British exporters, investors and global trade strategy?
🔹 Andy Burnham blocked from returning to Parliament — and what it reveals about Labour leadership tensions, party control, and the post-election future of Keir Starmer.
🔹 Conservative defections to Reform UK — why the Tory coalition is fracturing and how that reshapes the political landscape ahead of May’s elections.
🔹 The Government’s pubs U-turn — a 15% business rates cut for pubs after political pressure. But does it fix the deeper problems facing hospitality, retail and high street businesses?
We unpack the strategy, the politics, and the real-world business implications behind the headlines.
