She said Ms Reeves had to prove she was committed to economic growth and make the hard choices to deliver it. “That means making hard choices for growth now before they get harder, having the courage to take two tough decisions rather than 20 easier ones.

At the CBI conference, Business Secretary Peter Kyle promised measures to slash red tape for firms in the hope of boosting economic growth.

Mr Rubio said earlier that US and Ukrainian teams were “making some changes” in the hope of “narrowing the differences” between the US and Ukraine. The US State Department dismissed as “blatantly false” claims from senators that Mr Rubio told them the plan was a “wish list” from Russia. This and his one-on-one discussions with Mr Trump on Ukraine make it clear to that the US leader wants a “just and lasting peace”, the Prime Minister said.
