Keir Starmer has insisted that the economy is 'beginning to turn around', and that growth remains his government's number one priority at a meeting with senior executives this morning.

Keir Starmer said the UK economy is "turning around" as the government attempts to turn the page on a bruising first six months in power.

Sir Keir Starmer and Donald Trump agreed to meet “soon” in their first phone call since the US president ’s inauguration. In the 45-minute call, Sir Keir praised the US president for his “role in securing the landmark ceasefire and hostages deal in Gaza”, Downing Street said.

Keir Starmer will take questions from the opposition following a speech on economic growth by chancellor Rachel Reeves. Reeves will say that Britain has been “held back” and “accepted stagnation” in the major economic speech.
