In an opinion piece for the Telegraph newspaper on Saturday, Starmer said he was ready to step in to help “shelter” the country’s businesses, mooting state intervention for the worst-affected industries.
“Some people may feel uncomfortable about this – the idea the state should intervene directly to shape the market has often been derided.

“This week we will turbocharge plans that will improve our domestic competitiveness, so we’re less exposed to these kinds of global shocks,” he said, adding that the government also wanted to strengthen alliances and reduce barriers to trade.
Writing in the newspaper, Starmer reiterated he would take a “cool-headed” approach to the tariffs rather than immediately retaliating, but he added: “All options remain on the table”.
