Great to see CBI President ⁦@Lord_Bilimoria⁩ making the case for an ambitious UK-U.S. free trade agreement. There are real benefits that a deal can bring to businesses or all sizes, no matter which candidate is in the White House next year. https://t.co/7bUtKKJiVG

How can the Government help business?

Focus on the enablers - schools, educators, childcare and transport. But most importantly stand ready to act - consider support to the sectors hardest hit like airports 🛫 and suppliers to hotels🏨.

Today's decision by @bankofengland to keep interest rates stable matters to businesses and homeowners. It does have an impact. But it isn't enough. Critical sectors that aren't able to open up may need further support.

Agriculture is always on the table in U.S. trade, so great to be with @NFUtweets @Minette_Batters in D.C. this week meeting U.S. officials & trade experts. Clear these talks will need dialogue, understanding and business evidence to guide decision-making .
