In this episode of Behind the Numbers, we discuss the hits and misses of the Labour government’s first year in power. While there have been some clear wins over the past 12 months, particularly on the international stage, domestic politics have felt far less controlled. Our panel evaluates the previous year, as well as suggesting where the government goes from here as it enters its second year. Host Philippa Lamb is joined by Iain Wright, ICAEW’s Chief Policy and Communications Officer; Frances Haque, Santander UK’s Chief Economist; and David Williamson, Chief Political Commentator at the Daily Express. Links ICAEW: Economy hub: https://www.icaew.com/technical/economyICAEW Policy: How the government can deliver growth: https://www.icaew.com/about-icaew/regulation-and-the-public-interest/policy/how-the-government-can-deliver-growth  HostPhilippa Lamb GuestsIain Wright, Chief Policy and Communications Officer, ICAEWFrances Haque, Chief Economist, Santander UKDavid Williamson, Chief Political Commentator, Daily Express ProducerNatalie Chisholm Episode first published: 14 July 2025Podcast recorded: 7 July 2025
