Transport Secretary Louise Haigh’s remarks about P&O Ferries have potentially alienated a key investor from attending a major government investment summit, prompting concerns within the Labour Party.
Keir Starmer publicly rebuked Louise Haigh, stating her comments regarding P&O Ferries do not reflect the government's view, highlighting the importance of the minister's words.
The incident raises alarms within the government, as it contradicts Labour’s claims of promoting a pro-business environment, and signals ongoing tensions between ministers and investment priorities.
Conservative officials criticized the Labour cabinet for lacking business acumen, asserting that the comments by Haigh show a disconnect with industry needs just ahead of an important event.
