- Sir Keir Starmer hosts an “in-conversation” event with former Google CEO Eric Schmidt at the International Investment Summit in London.
Sir Keir Starmer said boosting economic growth would help tackle the rise of populism by repairing public services and putting cash in people’s pockets as he stepped up efforts to woo global investors.
The Prime Minister rolled out the red carpet for chief executives, promising to rip up regulation to get projects off the ground if they put funding into the UK.
He took part in an event with the former Google CEO, Eric Schmidt, where they discussed red tape in the UK and how it affects investment.
Mr Schmidt said: “I was shocked when Labour became strongly in favour of growth,” he said.
He warned the Prime Minister that problems with the planning regime and regulation were “killing you”.
“The cost of capital and the delay is killing you, and furthermore you’re not going to achieve your 2030 energy goal, which is laudable, without fixing this,” he said.
“You have a tactical leadership problem to achieve this and I think you can pull it off, but you have to figure out a way to get control.”
The Prime Minister replied: “I think this is a really big challenge, it has to be a cross-Government priority, not just within the Treasury team.”

Good to see Keir Starmer focusing on growth and working with business. Big improvement over last few governments.
Keir Starmer is an administrative man. He is not a man of business. He is a fish out of water in this conversation. Embarassing.
No people skills whatsoever.
Well we've had 45 years of businessmen dominating our country and where has it got us exactly? The most privatised, indebted country in the West. What's embarrassing is the belief that we can keep persisting with the neoliberal racket and expect things to get better for anyone but the corporate elite
He was a barrister, he's far smarter than any businessman
Sir quisling is a disgrace
He hasn't got a clue
😂I like how they accepted this one from Google
Completely out of his depth. Just embarrassing frankly.
Reform reform if you want real change.
Very exciting to see what the future has in store for the UK. I do hope it can lead the way in AI adoption and clean energy as they discussed
It seems Starmer thinks government borrowed investment and introducing big cooperatives to the UK, get the number high, will sort the economy out.
Starmer lol 😂
They are just representatives of the echelons of the Cabal.
The power of big corporations like Google has to be rolled back. We can't have these people coming here telling us how to run our societies. They are concerned solely with their own wealth and power - the wealth which by the way, we bailed out in 2008. And what did we get in return?
Starmer knows nothing about business. What a waste of the audience time.
And what do you know about it? Big business has not only failed our countries, it's made us all far poorer, less secure and more indebted. Corporations are an anti democratic threat to our political systems with their threats and blackmail. Hate Starmer all you want but at some point their power has to be confronted
He’s worse than Donald trump
in a word BULLSHIT
