Up and running in DC!12/1/2023 I'm delighted that I'm now up and running in Washington DC providing communications and political support to business and not-for-profit clients on both sides of the Atlantic, as well as commenting on the big issues facing the US and the UK today.
This is an extraordinary time to be here. The Presidential election is less than 12 months away and it promises to be a pivotal moment, not least in determining the future role America will play in an increasingly dangerous and unpredictable world. Whatever the outcome, Americans continue to regard the UK as their country's most important foreign policy partner, according to an opinion poll published this week by Pew Research Center, and the trade, security and cultural links that bind our two countries together remain strong. But with the UK general election likely next year too, 2024 looks set to be another rollercoaster ride for us all bringing significant political change. I'll be writing about all of this and more over the next few weeks and months, and I'm delighted to have been asked by friends at LabourList in the UK to provide a monthly commentary on the impact of events here in the US on the Labour Party and British politics more generally. You can can read my first piece on how Labour needs to plan for a Trump Presidency here. I also remain closely involved with The Power Test podcast in the UK hosted by Ayesha Hazarika and Sam Freedman. We're soon to complete a successful second series and keen to bring more US policy and political voices and insights into our discussions next year about what a future Labour Government needs to do change Britain for the better. So, there's lots going on and if I can support you or your organization or if you fancy catching up over a coffee in downtown DC then please do get in touch on here or via my new website here. You can also follow me on Twitter (it will always be Twitter to me!) on @Ed_Owen.
