UK politics live: Badenoch refuses to commit to reversing rise in employers’ national insurance in speech at CBI

Tory leader says she will not comment on every bit of micro-policy'

Q: Are you feeling the pressure? There is a petition signed by 2 million people calling for another election.

Starmer says he is not surprised that people who did not support Labour in the first place want the election to be re-run. But that is not how the system worked.

I'm not surprised, quite frankly, that as we're doing the tough stuff, there are plenty of people who say, Well, I'm impacted.'

I think anybody who's turned around an organisation or a business will tell you, and they're right, if you're really going to turn something around, you have to do the hard yards upfront. Don't look at a tough decision and then leave it for a year or two.

So we're doing the tough stuff. But in the budget, which is probably the toughest, I'm really pleased that we were able to put so much money into the National Health Service ... Anybody watching this who uses the NHS will know we absolutely had to make that a priority.
