Labour Shadow Chancellor has pledged to lead the “most pro-growth, pro-business Treasury that our country has ever seen” in a speech.

She spoke in Derby about Labour’s vision for businesses and took a swipe at the Tories.

She said: “I want to lead the most pro-growth, the most pro-business Treasury that our country has ever seen, with a laser focus on delivering for working people.

“Today, more than 120 senior business leaders have signed a letter expressing their support for a Labour government. Across the world of business Labour is being recognised as the natural partner of business, the party of growth, and the party of enterprise.

“A few years ago, you might not have expected to have heard these things from the Labour Party. Think how far we’ve come under Keir’s leadership in four short years.”
