Chancellor Rachel Reeves says Heathrow expansion will 'make Britain the world's best place to do business' She also backs expansion at Luton and Gatwick airports and a "growth corridor" between Oxford and Cambridge .

Tory leader Kemi Badenoch says Labour 's new employment laws will destroy growth.

But Labour 's Sir Keir Starmer vows to get rid of red tape to deter foreign investment.

The prime minister insisted the new laws would be "good for workers and good for growth" and accused the Tories of being "a coalition of blockers". Lib Dem leader Sir Ed Davey called on Sir Keir to drop his objections to a UK -EU customs union and other "growth damaging trade barriers" on an upcoming trip to Brussels . The SNP 's economy spokesman Dave Doogan said the chancellor's speech "offered nothing for Scotland ", adding: "Instead of fixing broken Brexit Britain , Rachel Reeves has taken the UK economy in the wrong direction.".
