Corbyn seeks to win backing from business
Party to ‘work with firms to reshape economy’

Jeremy Corbyn declared Labour “the natural party of business” yesterday, ahead of its annual conference in Brighton this weekend.

The party will work with British businesses to create “the kind of economy we want,” he said, pointing out that many businesses have “Labour values at their core.”
