BREAKING NEWS Kemi Badenoch Stakes Claim on Breakthrough, Vows Unwavering Commitment to Innovative Approach Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch has made a bold statement, insisting her approach to changing the party will "pay off eventually" despite recent polls showing poor performance. Speaking to the BBC's Sunday with Laura Kuenssberg, Badenoch acknowledged that there may be a "price to pay" in opinion polls. Badenoch's comments come as the Conservative Party conference kicks off in Manchester, where she is facing questions about her first year as leader. The party has been losing support to Reform UK, with several former Conservatives MPs defecting to Nigel Farage's party. In a direct address to critics, Badenoch said: "Nothing good comes quickly." She also took aim at Reform UK, accusing them of "rushing out" policies without proper work. This stance is seen as a key part of her strategy to revamp the Conservative Party. This statement marks a significant moment in Badenoch's leadership, as she seeks to reassure party members and voters that her approach will ultimately yield results. The impact of this move remains to be seen, but it is clear that Badenoch is committed to seeing through her vision for the party.
