- You can make an argument Badenoch’s leadership was sealed on day one. After promising to tell hard truths… In her first interview on the job she was invited to draw a line under Partygate and Truss. Instead she said that the real problem was lockdown laws and refused to comment on Truss.
- This would be the Starmer playbook of leadership (and booting Truss would be far easier than Corbyn). But Badenoch says she has nothing to learn from Starmer, which is fascinating www.economist.com/britain/2025...
