The billionaire Manchester United co-owner said he 'gets why the country believes it is a time for change'
Manchester United co-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe said he believes Keir Starmer 'will do a very good job' as prime minister if he is elected.
He told Sky News: "There's no question that the Conservatives have had a good run over the last 15, 20 years and I think most of the country feels it's probably time for a change, and I sort of get that, really."Sir Jim met with Sir Keir at Old Trafford last weekend to discuss the redevelopment of the stadium. Asked whether his company would donate to Labour, he said: "We're apolitical at Ineos, we just want a successful manufacturing sector in the UK.
He said the referendum 'was largely about immigration', as 'vast numbers of people' coming into the country had overburdened the NHS and police. The businessman also criticised the Tories over their handling of the economy, saying the country needed to 'get a bit sharper on the business front' and needs 'competitive energy'.
