After media picked up on James Cleverly’s refusal to repeat Badenoch’s statement that she is “increasingly of the view” the UK will have to leave the ECHR, he told GB News that there was no difference in their lines:
“If you’re going to quote me and Kemi, you need to actually quote me and Kemi rather than create this narrative of a divide… if the ECHR stops us doing what we have to do, we of course have got to look at how we might leave the ECHR and the process for doing that.”
Speaking to Sky News off the back of Rachel Reeves’ Air Passenger Duty hike, Ryanair chief executive Michael O’Leary said:
“Labour is dependent on those Red Wall seats, and yet every move she makes poisons economic growth and damages the UK’s recovery… it’s the Chancellor who stumbles from policy misstep to policy misstep… I think her policy decisions are incredibly stupid.”
