Kemi Badenoch has suggested that she may consider running for Tory leadership after the upcoming general election. There are talks within the party about replacing Rishi Sunak, following a surprising poll indicating that he could potentially be the first prime minister to lose his seat.

Conservative candidate Ashley Fox has come under fire for allegedly deceiving Members of Parliament about his political ambitions in order to secure a high-paying position as the chair of the Independent Monitoring Authority.
