The Conservative leader is set to make a major speech on Thursday where she will accuse Labour of repeating the mistakes of the Tory government she served in. Kemi Badenoch is to own up to a series of mistakes made by the Tory governments she served in but warned that Labour under Keir Starmer is repating the mistakes of Theresa May, Boris Johnson and Rishi Sunak.

In a major speech in central London on Thursday, the new Tory leader will admit that leaving the European Union “without a plan for growth” was a mistake by her party under Johnson. It will be the first time a senior Conservative leader has admitted that the chaos wrought on the UKand damage to its economy caused by Brexit was a huge error.

But Ms Badenoch will use her speech to claim that the financial woes and social discontent among groups like farmers and pensioners suffered by Starmer’s government are caused by the same reason of there being “no plan” before Labour came into government.

Ms Badenoch will insist that she will develop a plan to implement policies before announcing them. It comes just a week after it was suggested she may not have any policies for three years. Listing a catalogue of Tory mistakes because there was no plan to deliver policies, she will say: “I will acknowledge the Conservative Party made mistakes. We announced that we would leave the European Union before we had a plan for growth outside the EU.
