UK car industry 'needs to be saved', says Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer
There was considerable interest in meeting the Labour team, especially among long-term investors in energy, and finance. Sir Keir and Ms Reeves were pitching their "Green Prosperity Plan" alongside massive US efforts to subsidise low-carbon manufacturing and energy.
He denied that the Labour team was talking down Britain, saying "we are flying the flag, we are ambassadors for UK PLC and very pleased to do so with a very strong message".Labour has been cautious about talking about Brexit, but he said former prime minister Boris Johnson's deal was "not a good deal". You could "see the impact it is having", he added.
