Kemi Badenoch: Government must get out of the way for business to grow

Conservative Party Leader Kemi Badenoch has claimed that Britain "needs growth" at the Confederation of British Industry's annual conference.

Addressing the crowd, Badenoch stated: "It is not government that creates growth. It is business. Government often needs to get out of the way, but this is a very difficult argument to make.

"People want the government to fix everything. They want the government to solve everything. And if you ever sound hesitant, then they will make you out to be a cruel, unfeeling person, as I have discovered to my own personal cost."
