The Morning Intelligence Live: Elections Fallout on Tech Policy

​Where do May’s election results leave UK tech policy?

​Elections on Thursday May 7th for councils in England and the Welsh and Scottish Parliaments are expected to be brutal for Labour.

​Will the party shift left under pressure from the Greens? Will it stick with Starmer or roll the dice on a new leader?

​Whatever it does, there will be consequences for UK tech policy, especially in live areas like AI regulation, online safety and data centre development.

​This expert panel will analyse where the results leave the government and its current tech policies.

​There will be lots to discuss, coming two days ahead of the King’s Speech and amid a potential leadership challenge and ministerial reshuffle.

​This 45-minute event is designed to be informative and useful to The Morning Intelligence's audience working across policy, industry and politics.
