Are UK businesses done with the Labour government?

Labour has put its £5,000-a-ticket business conference with planned appearances from Rachel Reeves and Jonathan Reynolds on ice, with the Financial Times reporting low demand for the enterprise event. Invitations to the event, seen by the FT, had touted a “first of its kind” agenda which would give industry figures a “unique opportunity to engage with Labour’s plan to kick-start economic growth”. Industry figures told the salmon pink broadsheet that the knock-on effect of a reduction in public affairs budgets had led to firms pulling out of the event. The conference, which would have taken place on 23 June, was pitched as an effort to win back the support of business figures who gave Labour the benefit of the doubt at last year’s General Election. 🔗 Tap the article link below to read more of the story 👇 #news #uk #politics #economy #economics #business #finance #tax #money #uknews #ukeconomy #ukpolitics #ukbusiness #labourparty #keirstarmer #rachelreeves
