Kemi Badenoch has called on the nation to “Buy British” as fears mount over job losses, rising taxes, and Donald Trump’s tariffs hitting UK businesses. Speaking to the Daily Express, she didn’t hold back, warning that buying British won’t even be possible “if British jobs are going” and local firms are forced to shut down.
She slammed what she sees as poor economic decisions by the Labour government, saying: “We can’t buy British if British jobs are going and if British companies are closing because of the jobs tax.” Her comments come as the US slaps a blanket 10% tariff on almost all UK goods entering the States—bad news for exporters already dealing with shaky confidence and rising costs.
