Political Business Live: Analysing the New Map of London Politics

Saison 2 · Épisode 17

mardi 12 mai 2026 • Durée 01:08:21

London has spoken.

In this special LIVE episode of Political Business, Nathan Parsad-Wyatt and Kevin McKeever break down the seismic shifts in the capital’s political map. From a "bad night for Labour" in their traditional heartlands to the unexpected surge of the Green Party and a surprising Conservative comeback in Westminster, we analyse what this means for the future of British governance.

The Green Surge: How the Green Party took control in Hackney and Lewisham.

The Westminster Comeback: Incoming Leader Cllr Paul Swaddle on how the Tories won back the flagship borough.

The "Squeezed Middle": Baroness Shama Tatler (Labour) on community politics and the Indian Hindu vote.

The Fragmentation of London: Polling expert Scarlett McGuire, founder of Merlin Strategy, and journalist Dave Hill, from OnLondon, join us to discuss why voters are "done" with the establishment.

Plus, we take your questions.

Starmer Under Pressure, The King Charms DC & Election Week Begins

Saison 2 · Épisode 15

jeudi 30 avril 2026 • Durée 24:54

One week to go!

Parliament has prorogued, pressure is mounting on Keir Starmer, and the countdown to election day is on. In this week’s episode of Political Business, Nathan and Kevin break down a difficult week for the government — and what it means as MPs leave Westminster to campaign.

From growing unrest inside the Labour Party to the King’s high-profile visit to the United States, we explore the contrast between domestic political instability and strong international diplomacy.

With just one week to go until the elections, we also look ahead to what could be a volatile and unpredictable set of results — and why the political mood feels increasingly uncertain.

In this episode, we cover:

- Starmer Under Pressure: Fallout from recent decisions, questions over leadership, and growing doubts within Labour.

- Parliament Prorogued: What MPs are saying as they head out to campaign — and why expectations are low.

- The King in Washington: Why the US visit has been a diplomatic success — and what it means for UK–US relations.

- Election Countdown: Where the key pressure points are and what to watch for with one week to go!

- London Elections: Why the picture remains fragmented — and what the data can (and can’t) tell us.

vendredi 24 avril 2026 • Durée 40:09

The 2026 London Borough elections are around the corner, and the political landscape is more fragmented than ever.

The Fragmentation of the Vote: Why London is now a 5-6 party system.
Key Battlegrounds: Westminster, Wandsworth, Enfield, and the "Red Jam" center.
The Green Threat: Is Labour at risk of losing control in its heartlands?

From NYC to London: Is the "Mamdani Effect" Coming for British Politics?

Saison 2 · Épisode 13

jeudi 16 avril 2026 • Durée 20:00

Are the London local elections about to redraw the political map? We’re reporting live from New York City to explore a fascinating parallel: the first 100 days of Mayor Zohran Mamdani and what his "street politics" style means for the UK Labour Party and the Green Party.

In this special episode of Political Business, Kevin McKeever and Nathan Parsad-Wyatt discuss their trip to NYC to meet with American investors and political players. They dive deep into the "Mamdani Effect" - a mix of TikTok-savvy communication, "pothole politics," and an adversarial relationship with big business - and analyse how this populist left movement is being mirrored by Zack Polanski and the Greens back in London.

Welcome to London Decides, from Political Business

mardi 7 avril 2026 • Durée 01:26

On 7 May, every London borough votes. And this election is unlike any we've seen before. We have well and truly arrived in the era of multi-party politics. Labour, the Conservatives, the Liberal Democrats, the Greens, Reform, and various shades of independents, all in play in some way across the nation's capital.

Most of the analysis out there isn't reflecting the complexity of what's actually happening across the boroughs. That's what London Decides is for.

To make sense of it, we've teamed up with OnLondon, bringing together Dave Hill, award-winning founder and editor of OnLondon, and Lewis Baston, one of the country's leading elections analysts. Together we've produced the definitive borough-by-borough guide to the 2026 elections. Every candidate, every contest, every borough covered in full, including in this podcast feed.

The guide launches on 20th April, once the official candidate lists are published.

Sign up now and it lands straight in your inbox the moment it goes live.

Live from MIPIM 2026: Is London Still the World’s Safe Haven?

Saison 2 · Épisode 9

jeudi 12 mars 2026 • Durée 34:49

We’re live from the International Property Conference (MIPIM) in Cannes to discuss why global capital is flocking to London despite massive geopolitical uncertainty.

In this special episode of Political Business, we consider the intersection of international conflict, UK defence preparedness, and the "Golden Age" of the Square Mile.

We dive deep into the City of London’s "Golden Age" with two exclusive interviews:

1.⁠ ⁠Chris Hayward (Policy Chair, City of London Corporation) on the "concierge service" for global investors and the challenge of viability.

2.⁠ ⁠Tom Sleigh (Planning & Transportation Chair) on why the City approves 98% of applications and the secret to a "can-do" planning department.

Today, we’re discussing:

•⁠ ⁠Geopolitics vs. Growth: How the current situation in the Middle East is reshaping investment flows and defence spending in the UK.

•⁠ ⁠The City’s Renaissance: Chris Hayward explains why technology has become the City's fastest-growing sector.

•⁠ ⁠Predictability is King: Tom Sleigh shares why a 98% planning approval rate isn't "dodgy.” Rather, it's a sign of a high-functioning, enabling democracy.

•⁠ ⁠The Retrofit Revolution: Why half of all London's retrofits are happening in the Square Mile.

Whether you're an investor, a developer, or a political observer, this episode provides a unique temperature check on the UK’s standing on the global stage.
