Kemi Badenoch urges former Tory voters to ‘come back’ and not support Reform UK

Ms Badenoch, who is running for re-election in the redrawn North West Essex seat, told The Times she believes the Tories can win the election.

Business Secretary Kemi Badenoch has said prospective Reform UK voters are “good people” who “don’t know who they’re voting for” as she addressed former Tory voters less than a week before the General Election.
