Kemi’s welfare crackdown
from Coffee House Shots
Kemi Badenoch has today set out plans to slash £36 billion from the welfare bill, as the Conservatives seek to get ahead of the government’s much-anticipated welfare review. But are the Tories offering anything new? And can Andy Burnham succeed where Labour has previously struggled to deliver meaningful reform? Oscar Edmondson is joined by James Heale and Michael Simmons to discuss the political challenges of welfare reform, whether there is any hope of cross-party consensus, and what to expect from Alan Milburn’s upcoming report. Plus: with COP31 underway in Türkiye, is Burnham quietly retreating from Labour’s green ambitions? Produced by Oscar Edmondson and Abigail Brierley. This episode is brought to you by Raymond James.
