After decades of Government failure on jobs… we’ll fix our economy in way that works for both business and employees --[Reported by Umva mag]

FOR too long, governments have failed British industry and British workers.

Administrations of all colours bought into the idea they could be spectators in the global economy, that wealth and opportunity would just flow into our country and communities.

Labour governments of the past were far too relaxed about jobs and opportunities leaving our shores as long as the numbers on the spreadsheet added up.

That ends now.

This government was elected to do things differently.

To fix our broken economy and do it in a way that works for both business and employees.

So we will get on the pitch and make the case for this country.

The Industrial Strategy we are launching tomorrow will be explicit in our aim to secure more high-paid jobs for Britons.

We will reverse the trend that has seen our proud industries of the past and opportunities of the future shipped overseas.

World stage

The UK was bottom of the league of G7 countries for investment in 24 out of the last 30 years.

That is embarrassing.

We can, and must, do better.

We must turn the page on the chaos of the last few years and kick-start a decade of economic renewal, giving business the confidence and opportunity to invest in the United Kingdom.

CEOs and investors from some of the world’s biggest companies, including Google, BlackRock, GSK and Wayve, come to London tomorrow for our inaugural International Investment Summit.

And today, my department sets out a vision for a new, modern Industrial Strategy.

An ambitious project that lets business and investors plan not just for the next year, but for the next ten years and beyond.

Britain already leads the way in many of the sectors we will be targeting, such as advanced manufacturing, clean energy and financial services.

It is industries like these that help grow our economy to compete on the world stage.

This week saw a tidal wave of private investment into energy projects.

With more than £24billion of investments confirmed, we will deliver growth in the clean energy sector, creating jobs and opportunities from Yorkshire to Suffolk, Aberdeen to Stow.

Spurs growth
