    Spotlight: A Tumultuous Winter Ahead For Prime Minister Liz Truss

    The long race is over. Liz Truss has been elected leader and will become the UK Prime Minister. The leadership race pressed pause on some crucial Government decisions, not least further support measures to provide households with upcoming eye-watering energy bills. But the prospect of additional inflation-related cost-of-living pressure (potential civil unrest), an economic slowdown, widespread strike action, an NHS crisis and possible power shortages are all too real and the new Government will need to be out of blocks quickly to tackle them. So what lies ahead for the new PM – and what policies has she promised to enact? H+K London's Sophia Franklin is joined by Tanya Joseph (MD, Corporate Affairs + Advisory) and James Drewer (MD, Corporate Affairs + Advisory) to discuss the tumultuous winter and immediate challenges facing Liz Truss.

    Spotlight: A Long, Hot Summer for the Conservative Leadership Race

    After a large starting line-up, nine eliminations, several reallocations of support and, undoubtedly, some backroom deals – the Conservative leadership race is down to two. Former finance minister Rishi Sunak and foreign secretary Liz Truss will battle it out this summer, while Parliament is in recess, and the Conservative Party membership will elect one of them as their leader - and thus, the next UK Prime Minister. H+K London's Sophia Franklin is joined by Tanya Joseph (MD, Corporate Affairs + Advisory) and James Drewer (MD, Corporate Affairs + Advisory) to discuss the long, hot summer ahead for the UK and its political landscape.
