In a significant speech on rising the UK financial system, Chancellor Rachel Reeves says she’s going to make Cambridge and Oxford the “Silicon Valley of Europe” and construct a 3rd runway at Heathrow Airport – which is now backed by Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer regardless that he opposed it previously.
So will Labour ship? Can Keir Starmer and Rachel Reeves actually get the financial system firing once more? And can it’s sufficient to show round their current political woes?
Discussing this and extra on this episode of the Fourcast, Krishnan Guru-Murthy is joined by Gillian Tett, Monetary Occasions columnist, and Rupert Harrison, senior advisor at Macro Advisory Companions and former advisor to Goerge Osborne when he was chancellor.
Produced by Calum Fraser, Silvia Maresca, Rob Thomson and Ka Yee Mak.
