Despite a challenging few weeks of campaigning, Rishi Sunak remains an optimist. In a wide-ranging interview with The Standard, the Prime Minister forecast that interest rate cuts are “on their way” and even that he had “faith” in the England men’s football team’s ability turn things around.
On the capital, the PM pledged a major review of licensing laws, planning rules and other “red tape” that he says are unnecessarily holding back the night-time economy. Amid concerns over businesses listing in New York rather than London, he stressed the City had to be an “open, technologically advanced financial services sector that is globally competitive”.
