Boris Johnson, Jeremy Corbyn and Jo Swinson have all made a public pitch to business leaders and voters at a conference in Greenwich today.

Speaking at the Confederation of British Industry (CBI) annual conference, the election hopefuls made a series of announcements and pledges, mostly involving nationwide business rates and taxes.

Tory leader Johnson pledged to postpone plans for further tax cuts for corporations in order to divert £6bn to "the priorities of the British people."

Speaking at the InterContinental Hotel in Greenwich, overlooking the River Thames, the Prime Minister said he wanted to push on with "uniting and levelling up" the country and end the Brexit "uncertainty."

Labour leader Corbyn took the opportunity to dismiss "nonsense" claims that he is anti-business but that he would end the "tax tricks" that allow "the biggest corporations to avoid paying their way."

He told the CBI he was "not making any apologies" for pledging to bring some key services into public ownership, saying: "It's not an attack on the foundations of a modern economy, it's the very opposite. It's the norm in many European countries.

Corbyn also said he plans to give councils the power to undo some of Margaret Thatcher's privatisation of the bus network in the 1980s.

Also speaking at the annual conference in Greenwich, Jo Swinson said the Liberal Democrats would scrap business rates altogether and replace them with a levy on landowners.

She claimed that any party wanted to get Brexit 'done' cannot be said to be a party of business, and said her party would also give every adult n England a £10,000 'skills wallet.'

The election is now under a month away and party and local campaigning is now ramping up ahead of the vote on December 12.
