Liz Truss warned businesses will ‘go on strike’ by halting investment without clear plan
Companies ‘won’t invest until they see some clarity’, says business chief Martin Sorrell
Companies will halt investment and effectively “go on strike” until they receive more clarity from Liz Truss’s government on its economic plan, one of the country’s top business figures has warned.
Martin Sorrell, founder of advertising giant WWP, claimed Ms Truss and chancellor Kwasi Kwarteng had fuelled uncertainty with the “the lack of specific plan” for public finances.
