Kemi Badenoch and James Cleverly officially opened their campaigns today in anticipation of Wednesday’s first round of voting, which will reduce the field of six candidates to four.
Presenting herself as the only one who could be brutally honest, Ms. Badenoch attacked the Conservative government of which she was a member, claiming that it “talked right but governed left”.
Mr. Cleverly pledged to reinstate the Rwanda strategy and increase defense expenditure to 3% of GDP while highlighting his background as home and foreign secretary of state.
The bookies’ favorite to succeed Rishi Sunak, former business secretary Ms. Badenoch, stated that “a government that tried to do everything will likely end up achieving nothing”.
She added, “This was one of our mistakes.”
We sounded like Conservatives but behaved like Labourers; we talked right but governed left.
Less should be done by the government, but when it does, it should do it brilliantly.
She claimed that the only reason Labour is in power is because the public no longer trusts the Conservatives and that they are “trying to pull the wool over the eyes of the public” regarding the UK’s financial situation.
