, labour is back in business.g of this is entirely deliberate. we are and we always wear the party of work. founded in the workplace, we are the party of working people. and that means that labour is also the party of business. the first annual report of the cbi back in 1965 made a point but i think still stands today. the whole future of britain, it reported, rests on the success of industry. industry must be dynamic, competitive and profitable to compete in an ever increasingly competitive world. those words half a century ago could have been written yesterday. britain is not as dynamic, as competitive and profitable as we need to be and today i want to discuss how we can create a contract together to put that right. in a way we've always been band together. the labour party and the cbi. the cbi was founded at least in part as a response to a labour government, nor commemoratives book many of you would have seen that commemoratives book called the cbi would have seen that commemoratives book called the cb150 yea

for labour, that is the big concern and this is what labour's jonathan ashworth was saying this morning if you need social care and you're fortunate enough to own a £1 million house, for example in the home counties, then 90% of your assets will be protected. but if you're unfortunate enough to need social care and you live in an £80,000 terrace house in barrow, hartlepool or mansfield, you'll lose nearly everything. that is manifestly unfair. it's not levelling up, it's frankly daylight robbery. asi as i said,james, as i said, james, the government put this to mps this evening. there is no sign, to be honest, that there is anything like a big enough tory rebellion on this to cause any problems for ministers tonight. then this piece of legislation will go to the house of lords, where it will be chewed over further, the house of lords, where it will be chewed overfurther, but i do think this is something that will remain a live issue for some time and i think tory mps in particular are wanting further assurances from the government about the impact this policy is going to happen. —— labo
