In my view, all political parties in the UK should do everything they can to support the two-state solution between Israel and Palestine.
I want Britain to be the country that makes the breakthrough and delivers the cure for dementia the world has been waiting for.
So I can confirm today we will legislate to make sure that non-compete clauses will no longer be a barrier to hiring for our most promising start-ups and scaling firms.
If the UK wants to build global companies, we need to be globally competitive. To do that, we cannot have Britain's start-ups simply sell up.
