Kemi Badenoch mentioned how much the UK's debt interest is costing us. She's right, it's becoming crippling. And a very substantial portion of that debt was added to the UK government's balance sheet during the Conservatives' period in office.

By my count Kemi Badenoch asked Keir Starmer about seven different topics today, and failed to make much of an impact on any of them.

Assuming this continues, you’ll need ten pages by the next election.
