Kemi Badenoch: “Britain cannot afford to do as little as possible.”

They are not suddenly going to find the courage to cut spending in the final year of a Parliament right before an election... Investors aren't buying these fictional cuts either.

The IMF clearly don't know this Labour Party like I do.

If Labour's plan is to kick tough decisions into the long grass, come out with tiny bits of micro-policy, put up a few taxes, spend a bit more on welfare, and hope nobody notices before the next election, they are kidding themselves.

The difference is, as a party leader, I trust the people who are in our party. We have very high standards. Reform and others don't, which is why they have this scandal unfolding with people saying all sorts of appalling things.
