About this listen
In this episode of The Star Chamber Podcast, we unpack the recent flurry of government announcements – the Spending Review, the Industrial Strategy, and the UK Infrastructure Strategy – and explore what they really mean for local government.
We discuss how authorities can respond to these evolving agendas to unlock investment, attract private capital, and drive long-term, place-based growth.
We’re also joined by our first guest, Peter Arnold, EY’s Chief Economist, who shares his insights on the economic forces shaping national policy and local opportunity.
And, in true Star Chamber fashion, we close with a historical turn – tracing how the French Revolution, Earl Grey, and the Great Reform Act helped shape the foundations of the local government system we know today.
