Kemi Badenoch, the Tory leader, criticizes the Labour government for leaving the economy fragile amid global trade tensions, highlighting a 'jobs tax’ resulting in increased national insurance for employers. She claims this could lead to job cuts and that families are facing a potential £3,500 loss.

The exchange underscores ongoing political tensions regarding economic management and tax policies.
