The UK's Labour opposition vowed Tuesday to be both "pro-worker and pro-business" after winning the backing of 120 industry leaders as the party tries to oust the Conservatives in the upcoming general election. Her speech came hours after the 120-strong coalition of CEOs and other senior business figures endorsed Labour in a joint letter, saying that it was "time for a change". -Labour has been at pains to show it has moved decisively away from a less business-friendly period under former leftist leader Jeremy Corbyn. Prime Minister Rishi Sunak called the election with the Tories lagging well behind Labour in the polls. In his stump speech Tuesday, Sunak sought to utilise his underdog status in the race while attacking his Labour rivals.
