you see that kind of when you see that kind of inertia , you don't bother, do inertia, you don't bother, do you .7 and that in a nutshell, is you.7 and that in a nutshell, is the biggest you? and that in a nutshell, is the biggest supply side problem we have in this country. so it's time to upgrade the regulatory regime , make it fit for the regime, make it fit for the modern age , harness every modern age, harness every opportunity available to britain . opportunity available to britain. we will rip up the bureaucracy that blocks investment. we will march through the institutions and make sure that every regulator in this country, especially our economic and competition regulators, take growth as seriously as this room does. growth as seriously as this room does . and look, tell us about does. and look, tell us about your frustrations on this. speak to my team. speak to me, to rachel, to johnny, to ed and our new minister for investment , new minister for investment, poppy. any leader knows the importance of a good team, and we've got one here where united

behind growth. our door is open and the work of change has already begun. we are reforming the planning system. the onshore wind ban has gone . new projects wind ban has gone. new projects in solar, wind, tidal energy, carbon capture and storage , tax carbon capture and storage, tax relief for the creative industries , investment from the industries, investment from the world's leading companies. blackstone, amazon, a new partnership with cyrus one to build data centres in didcot. finally grasping the nettle on airport expansion, a new £1 billion commitment from manchester airport group to expand stansted, opening up new routes for work and holiday destinations. the first of tens of billions worth of inward investment deals that we will sign today because we are determined to lead the way on growth, determined to get britain building, determined to get our economy moving through the shock and awe of investment.

thatis the shock and awe of investment. that is the message to take home today. when the big decisions are made. when you go back to your boardrooms and ask, where does our money go? where do our jobs go ? where does our jobs go? where does our investment go for a better future ? let me offer you a new future? let me offer you a new answer. it's time to back britain. thank you very much indeed.thank britain. thank you very much indeed. thank you . thank you . indeed. thank you. thank you. >> well, who listened to every word of that? matthew torbett, you obviously listened to every word of it as you used to work for that man. were you hanging on his every syllable? for that man. were you hanging on his every syllable? >> no. it would be unfairfor me >> no. it would be unfairfor me >> no. it would be unfair for me to say so. we all know keir >> no. it would be unfair for me to say so. we all know keir starmer isn't a great orator. starmer isn't a great orator. his voice isn't great. i think his voice isn't great. i think there's a couple of interesting there's a couple of interesting things. the idea that growth is things. the idea that growth is higher, wages. now, until higher, wages. now, until recently, rachel reeves wasn't recently, rachel reeves wasn't going to borrow to invest, and going to borrow to invest, and it seems like that's going to it seems like that's going to happen now. but i think a large happen now. but i think a large

part of man. were you hanging part of these money woes and businesses being scared or whatever, has been caused by rachel reeves tying herself in her own fiscal rules, not basically in saying that she will. not a very easy way to get quick money and people at home won't like it, but is to raise taxes and you get money quite easily through the receipts. she's not going to do that. private sector investment is the future. i think you noted that the trade unions and trade unions be happy about that. no, but ultimately i think he's right. actually. i think, you know, the economy isn't there at the moment. and i think he could have quite clearly have alluded to things like liz truss and 14 years of failure, but chose not to. the only thing i also think, though , is how will this be though, is how will this be perceived at home? most people will see this news at ten tonight or whatever. you know, normal people won't be tuning in

isn't really a cap. it just gets put up every year. and the football analogy is just a bit clumsy. i thought, oh , whenever clumsy. i thought, oh, whenever he does these football analogies, it's almost like andrew pierce has written them for him because they're so clunky and they sort of demonstrate he doesn't really know anything about football. >> there's something lacking. i mean, a good speechwriter, good delivery would help. he looked so relieved to get off stage. he doesn't look comfortable. he doesn't look comfortable. he doesn't look comfortable. he doesn't look happy, i don't think i mean, matthew will know more about this , but it's not more about this, but it's not like he's enjoying the job, just enjoying it. >> i think it's a stressful job. he's getting a lot of flack from all sides. i don't think i'd quite be enjoying it. >> did he not realise that it would be a stressful job? >> well, possibly. i don't know because i didn't think it was going to be plain sailing for laboun >> everybody's going to think, thank god they're here. >> the messiah's arrived, but his politics, his passion, i mean, does he have a passion since 2015? does he have a passion? does he have any interest? is this what he's been longing for since he became leader of the of the opposition? >> i don't know, i don't know. very hard and complex to man

even attempt to understand at times. i would say quite vacuous and i was going to say not complex a sort of blank, very wooden, very. you try and want to want terrible, really. could not even with his own mps and people he knew very cold, i would say so i don't know what he wants, what he likes. i think because everything has been smoothed for him. you have to remember people like morgan mcsweeney totally killed off the left in the labour party, and he's had a straight run. he's not had to worry about anybody challenging post hartlepool by—election. so this is a man who isn't used to being challenged basically other than by the media, but you know, we're i think there's an element of middle class attitude about lots of the people in the labour party where, you know, they're above all this and people don't know any better . and you know know any better. and you know this, why are you not listening to me? basically. so he's probably found it hard. i think most people would, though, in fairness, right , most people would, though, in fairness, right, emma? >> we'll tell you. but we're also we'll tell you when we come back who starmer chose to speak on stage just before to launch

it because it's an interesting choice, a contentious actress who said some rather rude things at the coronation. i think that's really interesting. >> up next, though, a new report that says people in britain believe that children raised here should be taught to be proud of british history. are you proud to be british? we are. this is britain's newsroom on gb news .

1039 this is britain's newsroom. >> well, are you proud to be british? because 72% of people polled for a survey believe children should be taught to be proud of british history. >> many believe that britain had historically been a force for goodin historically been a force for good in the world. quite right too, with notable events including the world wars, the magna carta, the industrial revolution and the abolition of the slave trade. >> well, let's talk to senior

adviser at the policy exchange, raqib hassan, who's no stranger to this program. raqib, welcome back. to this program. raqib, welcome back . and i you're we're back. and i you're we're converted already. we should be teaching more about british history in our schools. are we doing enough? >> oh, i don't think we're doing enough at all. andrew. i think that in recent times we've seen a culture of insecurity gain a foothold in our education system, and it always call it a culture of self—flagellation. and i think that there are far too many people in particular sectors of british life. they have a fundamentally warped view of british history, heritage and traditions. this new report, which has been published by policy exchange, of which i was the lead author of the report, shows that that's just not reflective of mainstream opinion in modern britain , and that's in modern britain, and that's just not including the white british mainstream. that's also including british ethnic minorities is a majority view that children should be taught to be proud of their british identity and their national history. and it's also a

majority view that britain has done more good than harm in the world. and bev talked about the industrial revolution. i think there's so many things that britain can be proud of, not just industrial development, but also scientific innovation . the also scientific innovation. the westminster parliamentary democratic model that doesn't just belong to the uk. that's the for case other countries, especially within the commonwealth. so i think there's a great deal to be proud of and 1511 00:
