UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer will on October 14, 2024 tell international business leaders that his government will "rip out the bureaucracy that blocks investment" as he hosts a London summit aimed at securing much-needed funds. The prime minister has placed great importance on the International Investment Summit in London, and is hoping that the announcement of billions of pounds of international investment in UK projects will overshadow its chaotic build-up.
