Speaking to Bloomberg TV on Tuesday during JPMorgan's **Global Markets Conference in Paris**, Dimon was asked whether political uncertainty in the UK and the possible replacement of Prime Minister **Keir Starmer** could affect the bank's investment plans for new headquarters in London. "Not political instability but if they become hostile to banks again, yes," Dimon said. Dimon said JPMorgan has already paid roughly $10 billion in extra taxes in the UK over time. "I've always objected to the fact, we didn't damage the UK in any way," Dimon said. "I don't think that's right or fair. If that happens too much, we will reconsider.” **Read Also: Adam Schiff Rips Trump Over White House Reflecting Pool Deal, Says The President's 'Art Of The Deal' Is And Always Will Be A 'Scam'** ## UK Political Pressure Builds Starmer is facing mounting political pressure after Labour suffered losses in recent local council elections in England and assembly elections in Scotland and Wales. Some Labour lawmakers and ministers are reportedly calling for his resignation. The uncertainty has weighed on UK bond markets as traders worry a future government could increase spending and raise taxes more aggressively, potentially making Britain less attractive for banks and businesses looking to invest or expand. Dimon, however, also described Starmer as a "smart guy.” ## JPMorgan’s Canary Wharf Plans Last November, JPMorgan announced plans to build a three-million-square-foot headquarters tower in Canary Wharf that could house up to 12,000 employees. The six-year project could contribute nearly £9.9 billion to the UK economy and create about 7,800 jobs tied to construction and related industries. Earlier this month, Dimon warned of "some kind of bond crisis" tied to rising government debt levels and weakening investor confidence. Speaking at the **Norges Bank Investment Management Conference** in Oslo, Dimon said geopolitical risks, oil prices and growing fiscal deficits were increasing pressure on global credit markets. _Image via Shutterstock_ **Read Also: BlackRock CEO Larry Fink Warns AI Will Create Brutal 'K Economy' With Only Few Winners** ### Related Stocks - [JPM-D.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/JPM-D.US.md) - [JPM.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/JPM.US.md) - [8634.JP](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/8634.JP.md) - [VFH.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/VFH.US.md) - [XLF.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/XLF.US.md) - [FNCL.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/FNCL.US.md) - [JPX.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/JPX.US.md) - [SSTK.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/SSTK.US.md) - [BLK.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/BLK.US.md) - [JPM-M.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/JPM-M.US.md) - [JPM-C.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/JPM-C.US.md) - [JPM-L.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/JPM-L.US.md) - [JPM-K.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/JPM-K.US.md) - [JPM-J.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/JPM-J.US.md) - [BTX.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/BTX.US.md) - [BIT.RT*.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/BIT.RT*.US.md) - [BDJ.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/BDJ.US.md) - [BSTZ.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/BSTZ.US.md) - [BIT.RT.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/BIT.RT.US.md) ## Related News & Research - [JPMorganChase Declares Common Stock Dividend | JPM Stock News](https://longbridge.com/en/news/286815509.md) - [JPMorgan Chase Launches Digital Savings Bank in Germany](https://longbridge.com/en/news/287030085.md) - [JPMorgan Chase declares $1.50 dividend](https://longbridge.com/en/news/286867822.md) - [JPMorganChase gives $14 million to anti-scam groups](https://longbridge.com/en/news/286461442.md) - [Bluebird Wealth Management LLC Buys Shares of 8,244 JPMorgan Chase & Co. $JPM](https://longbridge.com/en/news/286665186.md)
