Prime Minister Keir Starmer’s at the Farnborough Airshow, announcing the launch of Skills England.

Prime Minister Keir Starmer’s speech at the Farnborough Airshow on July 22, 2024, focused on several key points:

1. Skills Training: He announced a new initiative called “Skills England,” aimed at addressing the UK’s fragmented skills training system. This initiative will align training provisions with the needs of the economy by bringing together central and local government, businesses, trade unions, and training providers.
2. Economic Growth: Starmer emphasized the importance of innovation and technology in driving economic growth. He highlighted the role of the aerospace industry in the UK’s economy and its potential to create high-skilled jobs.
3. International Collaboration: He spoke about the importance of international collaboration in the aerospace sector, particularly in the context of global challenges such as climate change and security.
4. Political Context: The speech also touched on recent political developments, including Joe Biden’s decision to withdraw from the 2024 US presidential race and his endorsement of Kamala Harris.

At NATO and the European Political Community, and on Friday I had the pleasure of meeting the leader of Ukraine, President Zelenskyy, who came into Downing Street.  And at those meetings, whether it’s NATO, whether it’s the EPC, or whether it’s seeing President Zelenskyy as I did on Friday, it always gives me great comfort, to know that Britain is at the cutting edge of defence and aerospace manufacturing.

The patient rebuilding of our country has started, we’ve launched our Strategic Defence Review. 

The rest was just a political party message about labour’s general plans.
