RE:UK reaction to Keir Starmer resigning as Prime Minister

Commenting on Keir Starmer's resignation as Prime Minister, our Chief Executive Vanessa Hale said:

“The resignation of Sir Keir Starmer as Prime Minister and the prospect of our seventh Prime Minister in the last ten years is doing little to position the UK internationally as a stable location for investment, and subsequently to be able to continue to attract the global capital required to build the homes, infrastructure and economic growth the country desperately needs.

"Given that viability challenges have effectively stalled building activity across the country, it is vital that the governing party moves quickly to identify a successor to Sir Keir and restore a more stable, predictable policy environment, so that we can work together across the public and private sectors to support delivery of new homes, grow the economy and revitalise town centres.”
