Sir Keir Starmer and Rachel Reeves will make their pitch to business leaders at the event on ThursdayLabour will promise to make the UK"the high growth start-up hub of the world" as it hosts 350 business leaders in Canary Wharf.
High-profile figures, including the chair of Tesco and CEO of HSBC, will attend the London event on Thursday to hear a pitch from the party's leader Sir Keir Starmer and shadow chancellor Rachel Reeves as they seek to convince the business world that they are ready for government. The pair will unveil the findings of Labour's"Start Up, Scale Up" review, which will include recommendations around removing barriers to institutional investment, helping university innovations get to market and giving more independence to the government-owned British Business Bank.But she will also insist it is her party that can"get the country off its current path of Tory economic decline" and"fix the holes" post-Brexit.
"These are challenging economic times," she is expected to say."But I know the spirit of enterprise, of creativity, of endeavour are as present in Britain today as they ever have been. "We are at a post-Brexit crossroads. We can go down the road of managed decline, falling behind our competitors, or we can draw on bold thinking to propel us forward."
It’s hilarious isn’t it … do any of these fools actually believe they have a chance of winning the election without sorting the migrants out first because non of them are willing to even mention it let alone actually sorting it out .. it’s utter madness
Back handing business....fixed it for you
FIXED IT | Starmer and Reeves will go cap in hand to 350 business leaders in Canary Wharf as they claim their party is 'back in business' as they've distanced themselves from the Unions but not their money
Does Keir_Starmer UKLabour realise that unless they help this government defeat these political strikes they will have to deal with the economic consequences after they win the next general election.
Based on competence alone, he is a complete waste of time.
Can’t believe these two will be running the country in a couple of years.
'Back in business', and won't 'take sides' in industrial disputes involving trade unions.
Does he know April Fools day isn't until the 1st of April.
