Labour has finally found a line on Elon Musk’s non-invitation to Starmer and Reeves’ investment summit: ‘He doesn’t have anything to invest.’ Eh?

Ministers have spent the weekend refusing to comment on whether he was even invited. Now Peter Kyle has been asked in every interview on the morning round why the “most successful businessman in the world” didn’t cop an invite to the summit. His response is that “Elon Musk doesn’t have a global investment programme that’s underway at the moment.” Just the odd invention or two…

That’s different from Labour’s previous line, which also went on about tech investment, on the summit’s purpose:

“The summit is an opportunity to meaningfully engage with the world’s leading businesses and investors, and to continue to build long-term relationships that will drive investment into the UK in the months and years ahead.”

So Labour doesn’t feel the need to meaningfully engage with Musk. Is it because he said mean things about Keir on Twitter?
