Good morning.
As a little kid in Scotland, I remember my dad told me the ruling Labour Party was bad for business. Barely 30, he was an entrepreneur trying to support three kids in a land of strikes, power cuts, inflation and high taxes. We moved to Canada before the Conservative Margaret Thatcher became Britain’s prime minister in 1979.
Labour’s back! With yesterday’s U.K. election, Keir Starmer is set to become Britain’s first Labour prime minister in 14 years, promising to be both “pro-business and pro-worker.” (Click here for the Labour Party Manifesto—a term that some might associate with communism, until they see the accompanying photo of Starmer.)
