James Cleverly: The Tory Leader Labour Fears Most

James Cleverly, a contender for the Tory Party leadership, criticized the Labour government for lacking a clear vision and making no significant commitments ahead of the general election. He expressed disappointment in their performance, stating that they have been hypocritical and lost in governance. Cleverly highlighted his pride in the UK's support for Ukraine, emphasizing the importance of delivering on promises and maintaining professionalism within the party. As the leadership contest unfolds, Cleverly is viewed as a candidate who could appeal to moderate voters, while other candidates like Kemi Badenoch are seen as more divisive. The new leader is expected to be chosen on November 2, with discussions ongoing about potentially shortening the contest to prepare for an upcoming budget. The internal dynamics of the Conservative Party are tense, with accusations of 'dirty tricks' among rival camps as they vie for leadership and public support.
