Work and Pensions Secretary Mel Stride conceded that creating "frictions" between Britain and the European Union will have had an impact. His comments came after Paul Drechsler, the chairman of the International Chamber of Commerce UK, said Labour is now winning the argument on business. Mr Drechsler, who was previously skills adviser to former Conservative prime minister David Cameron, blamed Brexit and the unsettled political atmosphere afterwards for reducing the willingness of firms to invest in Britain. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
