Badenoch admits Brexit damaged UK economy<\/h2>\n<\/header>\n

In her speech this morning Kemi Badenoch<\/strong> admitted that Brexit damaged the economy.<\/p>\n

In a passage aimed at Labour<\/a>, she said:<\/p>\n

\n

<\/svg>Adam Smith once said, \u201cThere is a lot of ruin in a nation.\u201d<\/p>\n

For all that is going wrong now, and let\u2019s be honest has gone wrong in the past, nations can absorb shocks.<\/p>\n

The financial crisis, Brexit, Covid.<\/p>\n

Countries with strong institutions and productive people do not collapse overnight.<\/p>\n

Even foolish policies take time to do real, lasting damage.<\/p>\n

A crisis is serious, but it is not fatal unless governments keep repeating the mistakes.<\/p>\n

We made mistakes in government, but we have learned from them.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Badenoch was not an MP at the time of the 2016 referendum, but she voted to leave and as a minister in the last government she was an enthusiastic supporter of Brexit<\/a>.<\/p>\n

She has never abandoned this position. But since the general elections she has criticised the fact that the last government embarked on Brexit without having a clear plan for how it would implement it.<\/p>\n
