Kemi Badenoch's Speech
Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch addressed the economic direction proposed by Labour and questioned the effectiveness of Rachel Reeves’s anticipated tax increases.
"Labour’s approach to taxation will not deliver for the nation, and certainly not for working people," Badenoch stated.
She argued that higher taxes would discourage investment, limit job creation, and burden families already facing economic pressures. Badenoch emphasized the need for a growth-driven strategy that rewards work and innovation instead of imposing more financial strain.
