Kemi Badenoch has launched her campaign to lead the Conservative party, calling for more than just criticizing Labour to win the next general election. She emphasizes the need for the party to think afresh about its future and the country’s, stating that Labour is “clueless, irresponsible and dishonest.” Badenoch is one of six MPs vying for leadership, with other candidates including Tom Tugendhat, Priti Patel, Robert Jenrick, James Cleverly, and Mel Stride.
Jenrick, one of Badenoch’s rivals, recently voiced opposition to Labour’s policies, labeling it a “declaration of war on the middle classes.” Cleverly, another candidate, plans to focus on the role of the state and advocate for doing fewer things well rather than everything poorly. Conservative MPs will vote this week to narrow down the field, with the final result of the leadership contest set to be announced on 2 November.
The candidates are gearing up for an intense competition to lead the party and present their visions for the future of the Conservatives. It is clear that discussions around the role of the state, the party’s stance on Labour, and priorities for the country will be central themes in the campaign. The British people are being urged to consider a new path forward, led by a Conservative party that aims to regain their trust and bring about change for the better.
