Tory leadership: Pointing fingers at Labour won't restore trust, claims Badenoch

Kemi Badenoch is set to declare that the Conservatives cannot regain the British public's trust merely by highlighting Labour's flaws.
At her campaign kickoff for the Conservative leadership on Monday, the ex-Business Secretary will criticize the current administration for not providing "something better."
Despite enumerating various criticisms, such as "deceiving the British public about the condition of the UK's finances," she will assert that these actions will not aid her party in securing victory in the upcoming election.
"In her upcoming remarks, Ms. Badenoch will emphasize that if the Conservative Party hopes to regain the trust of the British populace, they must do more than merely highlight the shortcomings of the Labour Party, enjoyable though that may be."
"It's time to move beyond the policy debates of the previous legislative session. We were defeated; we do not hold authority."
Labour will falter; and when it does, as the public seeks a new direction, we must be the alternative they turn to.
"We need to concentrate on rejuvenation. It's essential to revitalize our party, our political approach, and our mindset."

Within the Conservative Party, opinions differ on the best strategic path forward. Some members advocate for a move back toward moderate, central policies, while others suggest a pivot to the right to counter the rise of Reform UK.
Ms. Badenoch, viewed as the preferred candidate among conservatives, is competing with five others to succeed Rishi Sunak: Robert Jenrick, James Cleverly, Dame Priti Patel, Tom Tughendhat, and Mel Stride.
On Monday, as parliament reconvenes after the summer break, Mr. Cleverly is set to deliver a speech emphasizing that his party needs to "embrace traditional Conservative values" and make a case for reducing the size of government.
He will state that the Conservatives "need to organize ourselves" to offer solutions to "a tumultuous world, worldwide migration, and a crisis of confidence in capitalism."
"He will emphasize the importance of the government maintaining transparency and pragmatism regarding its functions. This includes recognizing its capabilities and limitations, focusing on excelling in fewer responsibilities rather than inadequately managing numerous tasks," he will further state.
"We acknowledge that safeguarding its citizens and territorial integrity is a fundamental responsibility of the government. However, it is crucial for Conservatives to be transparent about the compromises involved in executing these duties effectively."
