We’re beating global competition for contracts to build more ships and planes here in the UK.

From Norway to Türkiye, what do these deals mean for British jobs?

Let me explain

There are thousands of brilliant British businesses across the country.

This week I spoke with the CBI, FSB, IoD, Make UK, British Chambers, Enterprise Nation and Start Up Coalition at 10 Downing Street to discuss what more can be done to make the UK a great place to invest and grow a business.

A great pleasure to welcome Senior Minister Lee Hsien Loong back to 10 Downing Street this morning.

We discussed the strong bilateral relationship between the United Kingdom and Singapore, and the opportunity to deepen bilateral investment.

For 14 years, public services were left to fall further and further behind the private sector.

We either modernise or accept further decline.

We will build the foundations for a modern British state — so that our public services are there for the next generation.

A lovely sunny morning out in Southmead with councillors Kye Dudd @kazself.bsky.social @tomrenhard.bsky.social and the team.

People are rightly frustrated with outdated public services that don’t deliver what they need, when they need it.

Some think the answer is to tear down our institutions and hope for the best.

This government will build the new state and deliver on the promise of change.

We've set up Great British Energy to generate more clean, home-grown electricity here in the UK — and make us less exposed to volatile global energy markets.

What does that mean for you?

Let me explain

We are building the next generation of new towns to make the dream of home ownership a reality again.

This is not just about building new homes — but brand new communities with proper services.

What does that mean? Let me explain 👇🏻

The UK Government is making Scotland a great place to invest:

➡️ free trade agreements with the EU, India and US
➡️ Scotland as the UK's clean energy powerhouse
➡️ biggest sustained increase in defence spending since the Cold War

Today at Scotland's Global Investment Summit 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿👇

Scotland is at the heart of the UK Government’s mission for national renewal.

Great to speak with @scotsman.com about being at today’s global investment summit in Edinburgh and how Labour is working to bring good jobs and new investment to Scotland.
October 7, 2025 at 7:45 AM
Great evening campaigning with Edinburgh Labour and our fantastic candidates, Oliver Thomas in North Eastern & Leith and James Dalgleish in Central.

Next May’s election is a choice between a third decade of the SNP or a new direction with Anas Sarwar and Scottish Labour.

Scots rightly expect both the UK and Scottish governments to work together to create jobs and make people better off across Scotland.

In my capacity as the Minister for Intergovernmental Relations it was a pleasure to meet with First Minister John Swinney in London today.

Thank you for taking part in today’s Emergency Alert test, which saw tens of millions of phones successfully receive the message across the country.

The test took just seconds, but will help the government keep the country safe 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.

I’m grateful to the Prime Minister for asking me to lead the Cabinet Office alongside my role as Chief Secretary to the Prime Minister in 10 Downing Street.

My combined role will help me drive the government machine to deliver on the public’s priorities.
September 5, 2025 at 7:58 PM
Delighted the Prime Minister has asked me to serve as his first Chief Secretary in 10 Downing Street.

I’ll be working with my brilliant colleagues across government to help the Prime Minister deliver on our national priorities.
