It's election results day! So be sure to pop over to our blog to see whether our own Ben Rich or Francis Bell will slowly be proved wrong as events unfold...

And in a timely Radix blog this week, Mark E Thomas writes up a recent meeting in Parliament on Defensive Constitutional Reform.

We were also delighted to announce the addition to our board and fellows of Rachel Blake MP, Mark Robinson, Andrew Taylor and Stephen Gosling CBE - picked up in Property Week.  

The Times', Martina Lees addresses the effect of the Iran war on supply-chain issues stifling Labour's housebuilding plans.

Whilst it might sound purely technical, Ashok Gupta explains in Pensions Expert why regulatory change is key to unlocking the growth potential within Pension Superfunds.

Also on Pensions, Politico's Elliot Gulliver-Needham examines Torsten Bell's credentials as Pensions Minister, and whether he has eyes for the Chancellor's job.

And before they mull the scale of the losses from today, LabourList has a piece from Maddy Radcliff and Imogen Tyreman on why it's time for Labour to deliver for touring musicians and creatives.
