The Tory leadership candidate, who is running against Robert Jenrick to be the party’s next leader, stated that she has not yet extended any offers to them and that she “did not know” if they would enjoy the responsibilities she would assign them.
When asked if she wanted to be prime minister, the current shadow housing secretary, who was business secretary during the Conservatives’ rule, said that her ultimate goal was to “make the country more Conservative” in order to provide “better growth” and a “better life” for all.
“I don’t think it’s about wanting to be prime minister,” she said on the Politics Hub with Sophy Ridge.
It’s not an award, in my opinion. It’s not the same as winning a contest. In reality, it’s a really serious job that demands a great deal of sacrifice.
The prime ministership “changes your life forever,” according to Ms. Badenoch, who acknowledged the job’s possible drawbacks, including the impact it would have on her family life. It transforms your family’s life. Therefore, I’m really cautious about declaring, “Well, I want to be prime minister.”
