Kemi Badenoch will state that the Tories cannot regain the trust of the British public by merely highlighting the shortcomings of the Labour Party.
During her campaign kickoff for the Conservative leadership on Monday, the ex-Business Secretary will criticize the current administration for not proposing "something better."
Although she will enumerate several complaints, such as "deceiving the British public about the status of the UK's finances," she will assert that these grievances won't assist her party in securing victory in the upcoming election.
"Ms. Badenoch will assert that if the Conservatives aim to regain the trust of the British populace, they must do more than merely highlight Labour's shortcomings, enjoyable though that may be."
"We need to move beyond the policy debates of the previous legislature. We were defeated. We do not hold authority."
Labour will be unsuccessful, and when that moment arrives and the citizens of Britain seek a new direction, we must be that alternative.
"We need to concentrate on rejuvenation — rejuvenating our party, our political approach, and our mindset."

On Monday, coinciding with parliament's return from its summer break, Mr. Cleverly is set to deliver a speech. In it, he will emphasize the need for his party to "embrace and embody true Conservative principles" and make the case for reducing the size of government.
He will declare that the Conservatives "need to unite and organize" to address issues such as "a tumultuous global environment, worldwide migration, and a growing distrust in capitalism."
"He will emphasize the importance of the government maintaining transparency and practicality regarding its capabilities and limitations. It should concentrate on excelling in a limited number of tasks rather than poorly managing a broad array," he will further state.
"We acknowledge that the government's foremost responsibility is to safeguard its citizens and its territorial integrity. However, Conservatives need to be transparent about the compromises involved in executing these duties effectively."
