KEMI Badenoch will mount a fierce Brexit fightback today in an attempt to silence doomster Remainers.
In a speech to rally the Tory faithful, the Business Secretary will say she is growing sick of economically illiterate critics blaming every problem on leaving the EU.
She will say: “Keir Starmer’s answer to global problems is to tax more, regulate more and ask the EU what to do next.
“This is not someone who believes in the UK’s ability to think for itself.”
She will also take aim at zealots pushing what she calls a “lazy consensus” on net zero costs.

“We can’t expect those who can least afford it not to have cars or heat their homes,” she will say.
Earlier this month the-then Trade Secretary unveiled a new team of celebrity business leaders to help the UK hit £1 trillion worth exports per year by 2030.
Ms Badenoch wanted to swap “dry” policy wonks on the Board, first formed in the 17th century, for the likes of Ms Hindmarch, film industry tycoon Paul Golding and Universal Music chief Lucien Grange.
Only four previous members will stay on - Lord Hannan, Lord Mayor, Karen Betts and Tony Abbott.
Earlier this year the PM praised Ms Hinmarch for providing “many great birthday and Christmas presents”.
Ministers hope the new-look board will use their international "clout" to open up trade opportunities that smaller British businesses can benefit from.
Ms Badenoch told The Sun: “I’ve decided it’s time to set the Board a clear mission – to find ways to promote the UK and use their private sector clout to open doors to all sorts of businesses, big and small, working hard to grow their sales across the country.
“Rather than another dry Whitehall group, producing stats and documents that no one ever reads, this new board will be fixers.
“The new Board of Trade will help our much-loved British brands take on the world.”
