WholeStory 5.26: Political Upheaval - Wholesale Political Update

from WholeStory - An FWD Podcast · host Food & Drink Wholesale UK

Following our Business Lunch, FWD CEO James Bielby and Harvey Tebay, Senior Associate at DGA, keep the conversation going around politics and policy, unpacking the latest political developments shaping the food and drink wholesale sector. They discuss the Gorton & Denton by-election, where the Greens achieved victory over Reform, and examine growing scrutiny of party leadership amid Epstein and Mandelson controversies and recent resignations within Labour. With local elections looming on 7 May and six candidates vying for the top seat, James and Harvey explore what these shifts mean for policy and the impact on initiatives like the Make Work Pay consultations. Listeners also get an inside look at FWD’s Food Resilience Commission; what it does and how members can get involved to help shape policies that support the wholesale sector.
