Kemi Badenoch, a prominent Conservative leadership candidate, has outlined her priorities if she becomes Prime Minister, including restoring tax breaks for private schools.
She also urged her party to stop blaming Brexit for the country's challenges and distanced herself from Nigel Farage, stating he would not be welcome in the Conservative Party. Badenoch's leadership bid has drawn comparisons to Margaret Thatcher, with some supporters claiming she embodies the former Prime Minister's qualities.
The leadership race has seen Badenoch clash with fellow candidate Robert Jenrick over issues like the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR). The contest is heating up as both candidates vie for the support of Tory members.
