Tory leadership frontrunner Kemi Badenoch to brand Labour as ‘clueless and dishonest’
TORY leadership front—runner Kemi Badenoch will today brand Labour “clueless, irresponsible and dishonest”.
The bookies’ favourite to replace Rishi Sunak will say the Conservatives need to “focus on renewal” to become “worthy of the British people’s trust again”.
She will say: “Labour will fail; and when that time comes, and the British people are looking for change, we have to be that change.
“We have to focus on renewal.
“The renewal of our party, our politics, and our thinking.”
Rival candidate James Cleverly is also making a pitch today as the knockout rounds of MP voting begins on Wednesday.
The Shadow Home Secretary will say Britain should become a “family-first society” not over reliant on the state.
He will say: “We accept that the state has a primary duty to protect its people and its borders.
“But Conservatives must be honest about the trade-offs in doing these things properly.”
