Can Kemi Badenoch turn the Tories’ fortunes around?

The Independent  

Tory leader Kemi Badenoch has insisted she will not be rushed into policy positions, claiming there is no “quick fix” following the party’s historic defeat in July’s general election. Nearer to the next general election she will no doubt be pushed by circumstances into making some definite policy commitments, but they too may be vague and hedged around with caveats – not unlike what we saw in Labour’s successful 2024 election campaign. Since Badenoch had a careless moment at Prime Minister’s Questions a few weeks ago, Keir Starmer constantly accuses her of wanting all the new spending and investment contained in Rachel Reeves’s October Budget but refusing to support any measures designed to cover the cost. Most of all, Badenoch will have to hope that Labour’s failures will be so grievous that the voters conclude that her “changed Conservative Party” deserves another chance.
