Energy: Keir Starmer speech; ENGLAND: Cheshire: Encirc Elton:INTSir Keir Starmer MP (Prime Minister) speech SOT: This is a race, a global race to get ahead, and I'm really pleased that we're putting ourselves in a position not just to be in that global race, but to win that global race and that'll be measured in thousands of jobs for literally decades to come.One of the problems we've got is we've been too slow so far. The previous government stopped and started and started and stopped, and not just on clean energy.Industries, they never once put industrial strategy on a stable long term footing. And as you all know, there's nothing worse for investors than chaos and uncertainty. So today is not just a moment of industrial renewal, it's also a line in the sand. We're going to do things differently.In just under 2 weeks time, the world's most important companies will arrive here in Britain.For our first international investment summit, all these companies, global companies coming here to Britain, and I hope to see some of you there to have a summit on investment into Britain, into our future, into jobs like yours. But more importantly, I hope we can deepen our partnership because investment is how we will change the country. We have to be smart. We have to be pragmatic.We have to invest only where we've got a clear and undeniable potential.And make sure like today, there's a clear case for long term growth, but above all, we have to invest together. Because you can't bury your head and hide from the future. That's how you go backwards. But what you can do is use the power of government, the strength and skills of a nation to reshape that future in your interest. And that's what we're doing today with carbon capture and storage. That is the country's heritage, the politics of serious, stable government, the business of change in action. Thank you so much for listening.Thank you so much for what you do and I want to have the opportunity, if I can, before...
