Kemi Badenoch is absolutely right to rule out any pact with Reform. It would be sheer stupidity for the Conservative Party to waste its time debating deals with other parties when our biggest challenge is to earn back the trust of the British people. We have to earn the right to be heard again. We haven’t completely done that yet, and pretending otherwise would be a mistake.
As for Reform, I sometimes wonder what their leadership actually stands for. Are they on the left or the right? Do they even have a clear economic policy? Frankly, I don’t know. The public needs to know what WE stand for, what we believe and whether they can trust us to deliver.
We are the Conservative Party, not Reform. Kemi is a phenomenal leader, and she is absolutely right to focus on rebuilding that trust rather than wasting time talking about political pacts.

The uniparty is dead, a truly Conservative speech makes the divide with Labour very clear.
‘I am so pleased at a Conservative leader, making a Conservative speech!’

To all those worried about the state of conservative politics, Kemi Badenoch’s “Right Way” manifesto will be greatly reassuring. Here is a genuine conservative who believes in freedom, in tradition, and above all, in her country and wants Britain to be its best self. I read this with growing confidence that a restored and renewed Conservative Party can make Britain the great country the wider world needs it to be
A government that doesn’t know what it believes will be buffeted by events and achieve little.
Britain has been heading in the wrong direction because governments keep treating symptoms rather than causes - often trying to correct problems they themselves created.
The Right Way is the Conservative answer to this challenge.

Delighted to be part of this panel discussion on the changed political landscape. @joymorrissey @Jacob_Rees_Mogg @Giordano__Ant #cpc26
Great to speak with @Jacob_Rees_Mogg, Caroline Inge, Federal Vice-President of the Liberal Party of Australia, and @Giordano__Ant, Secretary General of the ECR Party, about how we should respond to the rise of different political parties in our respective countries.
Kemi’s launch of the Right Way yesterday and our Conservative principles underpinning policy is the way to win back voters, particularly more women.

This is utterly obscene.
We have to be clear that this is not the kind of society we are.
Using a child in pornography, or even the suggestion of it, is just sickening.
If we are serious about protecting children from sexual harm, it starts way before the line this crosses.

Emma, when that mini-Budget was announced, you were Managing Director of TheCityUK, which welcomed it, saying it took ‘bold action to create the conditions for economic growth’.
You weren’t an MP, but your Labour colleagues at the time were calling for even MORE spending.
And as my successor as City Minister, you cheered as Rachel Reeves torched jobs, hurt farmers, attacked independent education and damaged businesses.
The lesson for is that all decisions must be forensically costed, with detailed ‘how-to’ plans to back them up. As a private sector finance director for 11 years, that is second nature to me and will be how the new Conservative Economic Unit will operate.
