Labour's Business Secretary, Jonathan Reynolds, has firmly rejected accusations that the party is anti-business, insisting that Labour is committed to fostering economic growth and working closely with industry leaders.
Labour's Pro-Business Agenda

Collaboration with Industry
The Business Secretary highlighted ongoing discussions with major corporations and small businesses alike, stressing that Labour values their input in shaping economic policy. "We are listening to businesses and ensuring their concerns are addressed," he said.
Challenging Misconceptions
Reynolds dismissed claims that Labour's tax and regulatory proposals would harm the private sector. "Our approach is balanced—fair taxation alongside incentives for innovation and expansion," he stated.
Looking Ahead
With the next general election on the horizon, Reynolds assured that Labour's economic strategy would prioritise stability and long-term growth, positioning the UK as a competitive global player.
