LONDON — Agent of “chaos” or more of the same? Britain’s opposition parties are still trying to work out how to paint Andy Burnham.
With the Labour MP likely just weeks away from becoming Britain’s prime minister, Conservative Leader Kemi Badenoch used a punchy speech Monday to warn of a “summer of chaos” under his leadership.
“Investment decisions will be put on hold,” the Tory leader told a Westminster press conference. “Every time the newspapers are briefed about new tax rises, the markets will react. Every time it looks like Britain is going to be borrowing more money, our economy will be left in limbo.”
