PRIME Minister Sir Keir Starmer admitted it “will take some time” for people to feel the benefits of a Labour government amid worsening signs for the economy today.

The Prime Minister insisted changes to planning rules, reforms to regulations and the use of technology and artificial intelligence could help boost sluggish economic growth.

He appeared before senior MPs on the Commons liaison committee on the day the Bank of England held interest rates at 4.75 per cent and warned of “heightened uncertainty in the economy” following the Budget and US presidential election.
