UK property tycoon and Conservative Party donor Nick Candy signaled that he’d back a change of government to Labour, praising leader Keir Starmer’s business ties and criticizing Tory infighting.

Candy, in comments to Bloomberg’s In the City podcast that will likely be a seen as a blow to Prime Minister Rishi Sunak, said it’s “probably time for a change” in the country’s leadership. He said Starmer is “a decent man with good values and good morals,” even if “we still don’t know the Labour policies.”
