We’re wrapping for 2025 here on METRO FM Talk and we’ll be doing that by taking a look at what we can expect in 2026! From politics and the upcoming local government elections to mental health trends and careers in tech, we’re gearing up for 2026! First we look at Polictics in 2026! We’re heading into an election year so the different politicians and political parties will be on our doorsteps and timelines trying to get our attention.
