Portland has published the latest in the Starmer’s Britain series – Starmer’s Britain: The Battles Ahead
As the government looks to put the fallout from the Welfare Bill behind it, and the diagnosis of how well the first year has gone dies down, the Prime Minister Keir Starmer and his inner circle will be gearing up for the battles ahead.
Although there is a long way to go until the next general election, new polling by Portland has found that 56% of all voters believe the government has had enough time to implement change.
In the face of these challenges, Portland’s report underpinned by polling, looks at the key factors that will inform the political environment that lies ahead for this government, in a year to come that must be about delivery. Our experts reflect on the looming battles across the people, places, policies and politics that will shape the rest of Starmer’s government.
The report includes insight from Alastair Campbell, Senior Adviser at Portland, James Bevan, Portland Director and former Labour Special Adviser – along with Steve Morris, Portland Chair, Leena El-Refaey Director and former Civil Servant, Gus Riddy Associate Director and former Labour Combined Authority Officer and Gabriel Milland, Head of Research.
