Big thank you to business leaders who joined me this aft at the Darlington Economic Campus to talk all things financial services in the North East. Lots of focus on critical importance of local skills to growth.

And thank you also to the @hmtreasury team for the warm welcome!

27 years ago, @BlackRock chose Edinburgh as the location for their first international office.

And this year the company opened their new #Edinburgh office, an investment which will create 400 new high-skill jobs.

Grateful to Sandy, Scott & the team for the invitation to visit!

Fantastic to be in #Edinburgh for Scotland's 2025 Global Investment Summit

After a programme of excellent events yesterday, I kicked off this morning with a roundtable at #NatWest alongside Scottish Financial Enterprise, Lord Mayor of London, businesses across #Scotland & international investors

Today, we remember all those killed in the appalling attacks by Hamas terrorists on October 7.
We stand unequivocally with the Jewish community against hate and in the hope of the return of all of the hostages held in Gaza, and for a just and lasting peace.

Join me in #Northampton town centre on 25th Oct for a coffee & a chat ☕️

Thank you to Arden & Nationwide for facilitating a discussion about the Government's commitment to doubling the mutuals & co-op sector.
