'Investment plan chaos' and 'ambulance service hack'

The Times reports that Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer's investment forum is "in chaos after derogatory comments" that a cabinet minister directed at a major shipping company. The paper says Transport Secretary Louise Haigh recently described P&O Ferries as a "rogue operator" over a fire-and-rehire scandal in 2022. The remarks caused the ferry firm's owner, DP World, to shelve plans for a £1 billion infrastructure investment, the Times adds.

DP World boss Sultan Ahmed bin Sulayem will no longer attend the PM's investment summit on Monday, according to the Daily Telegraph, which describes the snub as an "embarrassing blow" to the government's "push for growth". The paper also reports that Downing Street has "appeared to blame" Haigh personally for the Dubai-based company pulling out, after she also urged a boycott of P&O in a TV interview this week.

The FT Weekend's lead story is about Wall Street showing "growing confidence in the US economy" and reviving bond investments, which the paper says has "buoyed" global financial giants.
