Kemi Badenoch reveals her 'golden rule' to 'get economy back on track'
Badenoch plans to cut the deficit by half of all savings and use the rest for tax cuts or spending, while reforming education and doubling apprenticeship funding.
- On Wednesday, Kemi Badenoch, Conservative Party leader, will unveil a `golden rule` requiring half of all savings to reduce the deficit at the Conservative Party conference in Manchester.
- Her conference follows poor turnout in Manchester, the defection of 20 Tory councillors, and polls showing half of Conservative Party members doubt Kemi Badenoch’s leadership after her election last year.
- The Conservative Party has identified 47 billion in savings and says cutting student numbers will save 3 billion, all funding the doubling of apprenticeship funding.
- Opponents immediately responded that Kemi Badenoch, Conservative Party leader, should apologise and criticised the Conservatives' economic record while Badenoch accuses Chancellor Rachel Reeves of a `borrowing and tax doom loop`.
- The Tories frame the plan around prioritising reduction of public sector net borrowing, while the Office for Budget Responsibility forecasts PSNB will fall by 2029-30 amid a challenging autumn Budget after a rebellion earlier this year.
