Former Prime Minister Theresa May has expressed concern that the Conservative Party has been too preoccupied with the rise of Nigel Farage’s Reform UK, neglecting the significant threat posed by the Liberal Democrats. In a recent commentary, she emphasized that the party's leadership candidates must recognize that their electoral defeat stemmed from a failure to maintain their brand integrity. As the Conservative Party prepares for its annual conference in Birmingham, May warned that the current leadership contenders risk inadvertently aiding Reform UK by not fully grasping the reasons behind the party's recent losses. She urged them to reflect on the broader political landscape and the implications of their focus on Reform, suggesting that a lack of awareness could lead to further electoral challenges.
