If there was a word of the day, it was "stability". At the UK's International Investment Summit on Monday, Sir Keir Starmer said his party's large majority would draw a line under an eight-year period in which the UK saw four prime ministers and six chancellors.

Sir Keir Starmer’s flagship investment summit has suffered another blunder after programming for the event called one of its most high-profile attendees the wrong name.

Keir Starmer has vowed to take a “tough love” approach to Britain’s public finances, signalling he will not give in to critics.

The summit comes amid a rocky first 100 days in government, marked by resignations and a scandal over ‘freebies’ for the Prime Minister.

Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer has urged that "now is the time to back Britain" as he outlined four key pillars in his proposal for investing in the country during his keynote speech at the International Investment Summit.
