Kemi Badenoch Speech: Lib Dems blast Tory economics as “laughable”

EMBARGO: 00:01 Tuesday 8th October 2025

Responding to the Conservatives’ unveiling a new set of economic plans, announced by Party Leader Kemi Badenoch in her keynote speech tomorrow, a Liberal Democrat Spokesperson said:

“The idea that the public would now trust the Conservative party with the economy is laughable. From almost crashing our economy to leaving public services on their knees, the Conservatives have shown their economics is almost as bad as their spelling.

“Only the Liberal Democrats have a clear plan to make our economy thrive again, from halving energy bills to striking an ambitious trade deal with our European neighbours which would boost business and raise revenue.”
