Kemi Badenoch is set to warn that Chancellor John Healey's upcoming Budget will cause more damage than either of Rachel Reeves' budgets, during a major speech in Central London.
The Conservative leader will say: "John Healey is not Rachel Reeves. Many people see that as an improvement." But she will caution against a Budget blunder, stating: "I'm worried that next week John Healey will deliver a Budget that does more damage to our country than either of Rachel Reeves' budgets did."
Attack on Labour's Spending Plans
Mrs Badenoch will also criticise Labour's spending plans, saying she is "not fooled by made-up spending cuts." She will claim that 30-year gilt yields have soared above 6%, their highest level since 1998.
Delivering her verdict, she will say: "Fictional cuts are not going to cut it. Investors simply aren't buying it."
