On 26 March 2026 I attended the Driving International Trade Conference. Business and trade are the life blood of our economy. Creating better paid jobs for all is one of my core values. With more people working and paying taxes, we will generate the revenue needed to improve our public services. A win win for all.
The UK has always been a leader in the world of global trade, and this conference confirmed precisely why we are respected globally.
I agreed with the comments of the American Ambassador Warren Stephens that the USA wishes to do more trade with the UK. I also supported Sir Crawford Falconer’s comments that UK businesses, from SMEs to multinationals, should look to increase revenues by taking advantage of opportunities in overseas markets.
Thank you to the British Chambers of Commerce for hosting the event.
I want to support businesses by:
- backing entrepreneurs,
- cutting business costs, and
- Increasing exports.
Grow the Economy
