Tory leadership: Gaining trust isn't about criticizing Labour, asserts Badenoch

Kemi Badenoch is set to declare that the Conservative Party cannot regain the confidence of the British public merely by highlighting Labour's shortcomings.
During the initiation of her campaign for Conservative leadership on Monday, the ex-Business Secretary will criticize the current administration for not presenting improved solutions.
However, even though she will enumerate several complaints, such as "deceiving the British public about the condition of the UK's financial situation," she will also state that these criticisms will not aid her party in securing victory in the upcoming election.
"Ms. Badenoch will argue that if the Conservatives hope to regain the trust of the British public, they must do more than simply criticize Labour, however enjoyable that may be."
"We need to move beyond the repetitive policy debates of the previous legislature. We were defeated and currently, we do not hold authority."
Labour is destined to fall short, and when it does, as the British public seeks a new direction, we must be the ones to offer it.
"We need to concentrate on rejuvenation. It's time to refresh our party, our political approach, and our mindset."

There is a division among conservatives regarding the future path of the party. Some advocate for a move back toward the center, while others suggest a shift further to the right to address the challenges posed by Reform UK.
Ms. Badenoch, widely regarded as the preferred candidate among conservatives, is competing with five other candidates to succeed Rishi Sunak: Robert Jenrick, James Cleverly, Dame Priti Patel, Tom Tugendhat, and Mel Stride.
Mr. Cleverly is set to deliver a speech on Monday, coinciding with parliament's resumption after the summer break, where he will emphasize that his party needs to "return to true Conservative principles" and advocate for reducing the size of government.
He will assert that the Conservatives need to "organize ourselves effectively" to address issues such as "a turbulent global landscape, worldwide migration, and a growing distrust in capitalist systems."
"This entails a truthful and practical understanding of the government's function—recognizing what it is and isn't capable of handling. The government should prioritize excelling in a limited set of responsibilities rather than inadequately managing a broader spectrum," he will further state.
"We acknowledge that it's a fundamental responsibility of the government 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."
