Well, my background is journalism originally and I was business editor of the Observer and deputy business editor at The Times newspaper and also worked in New Yorkers, U.S. business correspondent for the Guardian. So I was, I was in New York when birthstones and Lehman Brothers and AIG went bust. And then for the last 9 or 10 years I've been working in communications and I've been advising companies in all sorts of sectors, agriculture, finance, transports, technology, healthcare, been advising them on. On how to get there, how to get their narratives across, how to get their stories in the media and how to interact with the political world. I think there's a lot to come from Labour. If you look at The King's Speech, it was actually quite packed with initiatives. You had workers rights legislation, you had reform in the House of Lords, you had nationalisation of the railways. He had this the establishment of a new financial regulator. I think we'll see Rachel Reeves make some changes around the rules that govern debt and spending, and I also think she'll be looking quite closely at taxes like capital gains tax and inheritance tax. One other thing that I've heard quite a bit of talk about is council tax and local governments are quite state starved of finance at the moment. There's quite a lot of pressure on the government to think about revaluing homes across the country. Might not come in this budget, but I think it's something we might see soon. I think what this government is going to be quite focused on in terms of transport is the green agenda and the the transition to net zero. That means thinking about how we get people out of their cars and onto public transport. And we've already heard that they're going to be big changes in the way that public transports, regulated rail operation is moving from the private to the public sector. A lot of aspects of railways will still remain private and the way that buses are contracted out is going to change and there's going to be more power for. City mayors.

“Vigilance of public officials is, above all, the task democracy imposes on journalism. Over the course of centuries, journalists fought for that right. Our predecessors thought not only of their own freedoms, but of ours, knowing full well that they would not leave us a democracy if they did not also leave us a free press.” — Marty Baron #FreePressFriday https://bit.ly/3x6Omc0

Journalism can be a pretty competitive industry, but when it really counts, we are united in our pursuit of truth. Today on World Press Freedom Day we call for the release of our colleague #EvanGershkovich, along with others who have been wrongfully detained for simply doing their jobs. #JournalismIsNotACrime #IStandWithEvan.
