Badenoch defends calling chancellor 'spineless' in Budget row
"Her speech today was an exercise in self-delusion. Today she had an opportunity to apologise and show some humility. All we have had is wallowing in self-pity and whining about misogyny and mansplaining. So let me explain to the chancellor, woman to woman, that people out there are not complaining because she is female; they are complaining because she is utterly incompetent."
"a Budget for Benefits Street, paid for by working people"
"Bringing in your identity cheapens achievement,"
Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch described Chancellor Rachel Reeves as "spineless, shameless and completely aimless" during the House of Commons Budget debate and urged her to resign. Badenoch accused Reeves of "wallowing in self-pity" and of "whining about misogyny and mansplaining," saying complaints reflect incompetence rather than gender. Badenoch defended her rhetoric as channeling anger from farmers and business owners affected by Labour policies and called the Budget "a Budget for Benefits Street, paid for by working people." The Budget includes tax rises raising £26bn, scrapping the two-child benefit cap and extending a freeze on tax thresholds.
