Kemi Badenoch is aiming to rejuvenate her bid for Tory leadership by presenting herself as the candidate who can deliver the hard truths that the Conservative Party needs to hear. She has published a substantial 22,000-word essay that outlines her perspective on the challenges facing conservatism today. Badenoch unveiled her extensive treatise during her first major appearance at the party conference in Birmingham, where she emphasized that the public is unclear about the party's core values and principles. By positioning herself as an intellectual force within the party, she hopes to distinguish herself as the candidate who can articulate a clear vision for the future of the Conservatives.
