LIVE: Keir Starmer grilled at Prime Minister's Questions

Описание: Sir Keir Starmer will answer questions from Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch in the House of Commons.

Starmer has compared his government to Margaret Thatcher’s as he pledges to cut through “thickets of red tape” to clear the way for growth.

The prime minister is attempting to position Labour as the party of deregulation, saying that bureaucracy has spread through the economy “like Japanese knotweed” and that hacking it back is “essential” for Britain to thrive.

Writing in The Times, Starmer takes aim at “overreach” by government watchdogs, promising to end “vexatious legal challenges” and “endless consultations with a myriad of government regulators”.

In language echoing Liz Truss’s pledges to take on what she called the anti-growth coalition, Starmer will promise a “supply-side” revolution to remove rules that get in the way of business expansion.
