Keir Starmer – 2020 Comments on Small Business Saturday

The comments made by Keir Starmer, the Leader of the Opposition, on 5 December 2020.

Small businesses across the country have made a monumental effort during this crisis. They have stepped up when it was most needed, supporting their local communities and making huge sacrifices to help tackle the spread of the virus. Now we must repay them.

The Government must ensure businesses, particularly those facing the toughest restrictions, are supported to see them through the winter.

This Small Business Saturday and beyond, we can all do our bit to stand by small businesses, by shopping safely where we live, including online, or ordering from local restaurants.

On behalf of the Labour Party I want to celebrate the small businesses who are at the heart of our communities. We will stand by them over the crucial months ahead in fighting for the support they need.
