Kemi Badenoch, the newly elected leader of the Conservative Party, emphasized the need for patience as she navigates the party’s recovery following its recent electoral defeat. In an interview with BBC Radio 4, she rejected any ‘quick fix’ solutions, acknowledging the party’s trust issues with the public. Badenoch’s reluctance to define specific policy positions has sparked concerns about a potential vacuum for opposition party Reform UK. She admitted the party has ‘let people down’ regarding migration and reiterated a commitment to thoughtful governance.
