Kemi Badenoch is set to declare that the Tories cannot regain the trust of the British public merely by highlighting Labour's flaws.
During her campaign kickoff for the Conservative leadership on Monday, the ex-Business Secretary will criticize the current administration for not providing a superior alternative.
Although she will enumerate various complaints, such as accusing someone of deceiving the British public about the UK's financial condition, she will admit that these criticisms alone will not secure her party's victory in the upcoming election.
"Ms. Badenoch will state that if the Conservatives aim to regain the trust of the British populace, they cannot merely linger on criticizing Labour, despite the enjoyment it brings."
"We need to move on from rehashing the policy debates of the previous legislature. We were defeated. We do not hold authority.
Labour will falter; and when it does, and the British public seeks a new direction, we must be that alternative.
"We need to concentrate on rejuvenation. It's essential to refresh our party, our political approach, and our mindset."

There is a division among conservatives regarding the future path of their party; some members advocate for a move back towards moderate positions, while others support a tilt to the right to counter the rise of Reform UK.
Ms. Badenoch, widely regarded as the preferred choice among conservatives, is competing with five other candidates to succeed Rishi Sunak: Robert Jenrick, James Cleverly, Dame Priti Patel, Tom Tugendhat, and Mel Stride.
On Monday, upon the return of parliament from its summer break, Mr. Cleverly plans to deliver a speech emphasizing the need for his party to "embrace and embody traditional Conservative principles" and advocate for reducing the size of government.
He is set to assert that the Conservatives "need to unify and organize" to address issues like "a tumultuous global environment, worldwide migration, and a growing distrust in capitalist systems."
"This implies a frank and realistic understanding of the state's role, recognizing what it is capable of achieving and what it should avoid. The state ought to concentrate on excelling in fewer areas rather than poorly managing a wide range of tasks," he will further state.
"It's acknowledged that the primary responsibility of the government is to safeguard its citizens and its territorial integrity. However, it's crucial for Conservatives to be transparent about the compromises involved in executing these duties effectively."
