Business Secretary Jonathan Reynolds dismissed warnings of a wealth exodus to escape potential Labour tax hikes, hitting back at criticisms that have been levied at Prime Minister Keir Starmer’s government.

“I think that’s too dramatic,” Reynolds told Bloomberg Television at the Labour Party Conference in Liverpool. The party has a “total commitment to improving the business environment in the UK,” he said.
