The breakfast offered small group of our clients and friends a unique opportunity to hear the insights of one of Labour’s sharpest political brains on the current political landscape – as well as a tasty array of pastries, bagels and granola.

Blakeney CEO and founder, Gabe Winn, steered a lively and thought-provoking discussion. Jonathan delivered a typically sharp and entertaining overview of the government’s priorities and the challenges it faces. He explored the pressing fiscal issues confronting the Chancellor, including the delicate balancing act required to manage the public finances while navigating political pressures. We also delved into the welfare bill rebellion and what it reveals about tensions within the governing party, as well as the government’s prospects for repairing strained relations with the business community.
