Today, I spoke in Commons
about the need to reduce costs for
businesses. In my speech, I highlighted
that after 11 years Britain is fed up with
low wages and low growth Tory
chancellors. Labour will buy, make and
sell more in Britain – backing enterprise
and building a more resilient Britain
that can stand more firmly on its own
two feet. Labour would help create
100,000 new businesses over 5 years
and boost the start-up loan scheme.
Labour would create a £600million
contingency fund to support struggling
firms, paid for by a one-off windfall tax
on record North Sea oil and gas profits.
