Kemi Badenoch to blast Rejoiners in Brexit U-turn warning over Labour

Brexit critics are to blame for “wanting to talk down our country”, Kemi Badenoch will say Sir Keir Starmer’s party is relentlessly talking down the country and wrongly blaming global challenges on Britain’s departure from the EU, the Business and Trade Secretary will say. Kemi Badenoch will tell Tory grassroots that common sense Conservatism that focuses on getting things done is what the country needs. She will say: ‘It has been a difficult time to be in government anywhere in the world.’ Trending She is expected to add: ‘Ministers in other countries tell me about supply chain issues affecting everything from getting car components to stocking supermarket shelves. ‘They tell me about how they are coping with unfilled vacancies as societies from Germany to Japan get older. ‘But it is only when I am back in the UK that l am told that all these issues are down to Brexit.’ The Daily Express understands Ms Badenoch tell the conference she is about delivery, not rhetoric and will highlight the work being doing to make the most of Brexit. “Listen to what Keir Starmer says… His answer to the global challenges we face is to tax more” She will add: ‘Our political opponents are obsessed with viewing every problem as Brexit. Relentlessly wanting to talk down our country. So as your Business and Trade Secretary, I’m here to set the record straight. ‘They tell you Brexit is costing Britain four per cent of GDP per year. Wrong and economically illiterate. ‘The UK’s recovery from Covid has outpaced France and Germany. This year we overtook France to become the third largest manufacturer in Europe.’ Ms Badenoch will say exports are up and London still remains the top financial investment destination in Europe.
