Kemi Badenoch says ‘we cannot stand still’ on UK investment<\/h3>\n

Top Tory Kemi Badenoch has said business leaders voiced fears about a potential Labour government while she hosted the Global Investment Summit.<\/p>\n

Ms Badenoch, the Business and Trade secretary, said the UK had \u201csmashed\u201d its investment target from the get-together, more than tripling 2021\u2019s \u00a39.5billion raised to \u00a329.5billion.<\/p>\n

However she claimed she had been saddened to hear from some investors at the London summit that they are planning to move their headquarters out of the UK if Labour win the next General Election.<\/p>\n

She claimed: “They tell me Labour relentlessly talk down the UK economy.<\/p>\n

“Our future is bright! We must not let Labour ruin it.<\/p>\n

\u201cLabour merely tolerate business; Conservatives understand that government needs to create the conditions for economic growth.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut it is business, not government that creates wealth, growth and productivity.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ms Badenoch also compared Labour to \u201cone of those candidates on The Apprentice who get fired early on\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cAll big talk and no substance\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n

Ms Badenoch also appeared to take a swipe at her predecessor Liz Truss, who served as Trade Secretary from 2019 to 2021.<\/p>\n
