Kemi Badenoch dismissed “doom-laden nonsense” about Brexit Britain in a speech at a major summit today.<\/p>\n

The Business and Trade Secretary pointed to Nissan’s announcement that it is investing \u00a32billion in its Sunderland plant as she addressed chief executives at the Global Investment Summit.<\/p>\n

She said it showed claims that the Japanese car giant would leave the UK due to Brexit “could not have been more wrong”.<\/p>\n

Closing the gathering at Hampton Court Palace aimed at bringing in investment to Britain, Ms Badenoch said: “Ignore the doom-laden nonsense you may hear.<\/p>\n

“The fact is we have had the third fastest growth in the G7 since 2010.<\/p>\n

“A faster recovery from Covid than Germany. And we remain the second largest exporter of services in the world.<\/p>\n

“Let\u2019s not forget that people said Nissan would leave the UK because of Brexit. As we saw on Friday, they could not have been more wrong.”<\/p>\n

Ms Badenoch insisted Britain is the “best place in the world to do business” in her speech to around 200 business chiefs.<\/p>\n

She said: “British people are too often too modest about our own country. I don’t think we’re bullish enough about selling the UK’s strengths.<\/p>\n

“Those who know me know that I don’t have this problem.”<\/p>\n

She said the Government knew that its role was to “create the conditions for business to succeed”.<\/p>\n

She added: “More often than not the Government’s role should be to get out of the way and let you do what you do best.<\/p>\n

“We need to listen, to understand, to enable you to make long-term investment decisions with certainty.<\/p>\n

“Look carefully at what\u2019s happening in this country. A supply side revolution is quietly underway.<\/p>\n

“The Government is taking on the forces holding back enterprise. And we\u2019re already winning.”<\/p>\n
