ODN

Kemi Badenoch has told business chiefs that the Tories would “cut taxes responsibly” and end a system which she said was “paying people not to work.” Speaking at the British Chambers of Commerce event, the Conservative leader said: “This is about running government like you run your businesses, focused on outcomes, not process".

00:00Our debt interest is well over £100 billion a year.

00:04Welfare spending is out of control.

00:06The state is bloated, productivity has flatlined,

00:09and the economy is stuck in first gear.

00:12Our country is living beyond its means.

00:15We are spending more than we're earning,

00:17and it means the cost of living crisis for working people

00:19is getting worse and worse.

00:22We need a totally different approach,

00:25one that ensures that things are easier for the makers,

00:28the people who work hard, create wealth and jobs,

00:31and deliver frontline public services,

00:33because currently this country has too many people who are taking,

00:37whether it is those who sit at home with the curtains drawn

00:40while others go out to work,

00:42or those who skip the queue and arrive here illegally,

00:45only to be given privileged access to social housing,

00:47the NHS, and our generous welfare system.

00:51Yet, despite having a supermajority in Parliament,

00:54the Prime Minister is in the fight of his life.

00:56He is trying to save some of the government's welfare changes,

01:00changes that don't even cut the overall welfare budget.

01:03They only slightly slow down the rate of increase,

01:07and that is because his MPs are too scared to make difficult decisions.

01:11But we have to make difficult decisions

01:13if we're going to sort our economy.

01:16Britain needs real welfare reform

01:17if we're to incentivise takers to become makers,

01:21if we're to get people into jobs.

01:23And that is the difference between us and our opponents.

01:27Because Labour see business as something to regulate and tax,

01:30reform want to turn back the clock and nationalise utilities.

01:34We see you, business, as partners in building Britain's future.

01:39You know when spending isn't delivering value.

01:41Government needs to know the same.

01:43This is about running government like you run your businesses,

01:46focused on outcomes, not process.
