Sky News’ Mark Kleinman reports that investment minister Poppy Gustafsson is set to resign as soon as today. Not sold on Phase 2?
Gustafsson, formerly of Darktrace, was appointed by Starmer in October and put in the Lords. A blow…
UPDATE: Shadow bizsec Andrew Griffith said: “Poppy has a decent claim for constructive dismissal given Labour’s attacks on wealth creators, higher taxes and exodus of international investors since day one.” The phrase sinking ship comes to mind…
UPDATE II: Confirmed.
Speaking to Sky News off the back of Rachel Reeves’ Air Passenger Duty hike, Ryanair chief executive Michael O’Leary said:
“Labour is dependent on those Red Wall seats, and yet every move she makes poisons economic growth and damages the UK’s recovery… it’s the Chancellor who stumbles from policy misstep to policy misstep… I think her policy decisions are incredibly stupid.”
