Sir Jim said the Conservatives have had ‘a good run’ but understands why people feel ‘it’s probably time for a change’.
Billionaire Sir Jim Ratcliffe has said he believes Keir Starmer will do a “very good job” as prime minister as he predicted a Labour election victory, but insisted he is willing to work with whichever party is in power.
The businessman said: “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.” 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 blamed the Conservatives’ predicted defeat at the next general election on their implementation of Brexit, which he said “didn’t turn out how people anticipated”.He said the referendum “was largely about immigration”, as “vast numbers of people” coming into the country had overburdened the NHS and police.
