Update from Holyrood: Budget Talks Conclude As the balance of power requires, Holyrood ministers have wrapped up the first round of crucial budget negotiations with all five opposition parties. These discussions will shape the financial landscape for the year ahead, impacting everything from public services to economic support across Scotland. With our sector still recovering from the challenges of recent years, it's more important than ever that the night-time economy is supported in these budgetary decisions. We'll be watching closely to ensure that the needs of Scotland's nightlife, hospitality, and cultural industries are recognised. Stay tuned for more updates as the talks progress. #BudgetTalks #ScotlandEconomy #NightTimeEconomy #Holyrood

The Portland research team has carried out a major study of people planning to vote Labour this week, and who are also almost certain to actually vote. You can read coverage of part of this below. https://lnkd.in/ehKbEwJK What it reveals is the priorities of the voter coalition that seems certain to bring Keir Starmer to power. And it’s fascinating what it is in there, and what isn’t. For a start, tax is far down the pecking order of topics in our "jeopardy index" showing where Labour voters say they are most willing to punish the party at the next election after this one. It’s failure on the public services where jeopardy is highest – with the NHS most important. Crime is also a big issue, and water quality too. Another big area where people want to see success is "generally run the country in a more grown-up and disciplined way". That ranked fifth among all Labour 2024 voters, out of a whopping 50 or so issues we tested. All this pretty much goes for people switching their vote this week from the Tories to Labour too. As any politico knows, these are the voters who count double in tight contests. What’s also interesting is what isn’t in the top ten for most voters. That includes a lot of energy transition issues – and housing too. On issues like this, more people say failure to deliver on promises wouldn’t impact their votes next time around than say they will. It’s data like this which will shape the priorities of the next Government – and data like this that the political team around the new Prime Minister will be studying closely. If you’d like a more detailed read-out of what this data means for your organisation, please do get in touch with one of the team at Portland and we will very happily talk you through it. Special thanks to Jude Ryan-Gray, Leon Davies, Dan Townshend, Katie Norton-Williams and Lara S. for all their work on this.

Insightful research from my Portland colleagues ranking the issues most likely to make people voting Labour in the election today choose not to vote Labour next time. Failing to improve the NHS is a dominant theme, but it’s particularly interesting to see that lack of access to the best new medicines comes out as the top voter concern. With very little focus on medicines from the major parities in this election campaign, it’s a slightly surprising but very useful insight! One for the life sciences industry and the new Prime Minister to have in mind.
