Top Tory slams Reform’s ‘unfunded commitments and gimmicks’ after Kemi Badenoch ruled out pact in wake of Makerfield by-election
Sir Mel Stride has hit out at Reform UK, accusing Nigel Farage’s party of “unfunded commitments and gimmicks”.The Shadow Chancellor was speaking to GB News after Tory leader Kemi Badenoch ruled out a pact with Reform in the wake of the Makerfield by-election. Andy Burnham stormed to victory in the Manchester seat, with the Conservatives finishing a distant fourth on two per cent. “The battle for the next Prime Minister won’t involve Kemi Badenoch at this stage. According to the polling, it's going to be a straight race between Andy Burnham and Nigel Farage,” Camilla Tominey said. “No, not at all. Nobody can foresee what's going to happen in three years' time in a general election,” Sir Mel insisted.“Kemi has a very clear direction for our party. It is a very sensible direction. “Unlike reform, we will go out there and spray around all sorts of unfunded commitments and gimmicks left, right and centre.“We have properly and carefully thought through policies that are all funded and will be good for the economy,” the Shadow Chancellor added.

Peter Franklin: One big decision Burnham may yet surprise us with brings bigger risks for the Conservatives
Badenoch has gone out of her way to reject any deal with Reform. Her exact words on the possibility are no, no, no, no, no, no, no. This really doesn’t look like a mere delaying tactic. Indeed, I’d suggest it’s an integral part of a survival plan for an early general election.

‘Labor does not understand small business’: Taylor hits out at Albanese’s tax changes
Opposition Leader Angus Taylor calls out the Labor government’s latest tax changes following the “failed" federal budget. “This is more nonsense from a treasurer whose budget has failed,” Mr Taylor told Sky News Australia. “It will fail to provide the prosperity we need in the future; in fact, it’s going to hurt it. “These taxes are going to hurt aspiration … what we have is a Labor government that doesn’t understand small business, doesn’t understand business at all.”
