Starmer sets out vision for economic growth but will it work?

Economics Correspondent

The government has announced more than £60 billion of investment creating 38,000 jobs at its investment summit.

Sir Keir Starmer told business leaders the bill on workers rights would help improve growth, not hold it back.

There were also some strong hints about which taxes are going up in the Budget this month.
