On this week's episode of What's at Stake, host and head of Penta's D.C. office, Bryan DeAngelis, is joined by U.K. Penta colleagues and political experts Mark MacGregor and Andy Williams to dive into last week's U.K. election results.

They discuss the priorities of Labour's parliamentary candidates, highlighting differences between grassroots candidates and Labour leadership on issues like industrial action and net-zero targets. The discussion also includes details of Labour's strategies for the housing crisis and northern regions, and the newfound unity among Labour MPs — what Penta calls a "House United" in our recent deep dive on Labour's priorities this year.  

Finally, they explore the implications of the election results for the business community, especially US investors. No matter where you live, you'll want to tune in for this expert examination of U.K. politics and what's at stake
