Commenting ahead of Mrs Badenoch’s speech, Labour chairwoman Bridget Phillipson said the Conservatives have not “learned a single lesson” since their election defeat in 2024.
She said: “Kemi Badenoch’s top team don’t even think her leadership is the ‘right way’. The Tory Leader is living in an alternate reality.
“Tory Conference has blown open splits over the triple lock, her Shadow Chancellor’s secret plan for billions of extra cuts to public services, and plots to rip up hard-won renters’ rights.
“The Conservative Party hasn’t learned a single lesson since they were kicked out of office. Instead of finally apologising for Liz Truss’ disastrous mini-budget, Badenoch promoted its co-author as her Shadow Chancellor. Their credibility on the economy remains in tatters.
“Andy Burnham is bringing back hope to Britain. His Labour Government has a clear plan to drive good growth in every postcode, put power back into people’s hands and give people vital breathing space on the cost of living.”
