O/T:- ⚠️Impressed with the leadership [The UK Party Politics Thread]

Jenrick's my MP and we have corresponded in the past. My main reflection from that is that I think Badenoch believes what she now says.

Jenrick's an opportunist who will say whatever he thinks he needs to say to appeal to those he thinks hold the key to his next career move, which sadly is true of most politicians currently. If you're a genuine conviction politician these days you're a rare breed and you stand out like a beacon, whichever part of the political spectrum you're coming from. The true test of Kemi's convictions is only just beginning and time will tell, but I'm more optimistic about her than many of her predecessors.

I think the Tories are caught between a rock and a hard place regarding where to aim to win votes back. A lurch to the right to try and win back Reform voters will see them lose the moderates, but a move nearer the centre will send more to Reform! If the election was next week they would gain a lot of disenchanted Labour voters, but if Labour can show things are improving in 4 years time the Tories will be stuck where they are now.
