After a devastating set of local elections, are we beginning to see the real Kemi? Earlier today, the Conservative Leader was speaking to the GB News Political Editor Christopher Hope, and made it crystal clear she's not letting the disgraceful family farm tax go.
She then took aim at Number ten’s plans to ‘reset’ the relationship between the UK and the EU, which effectively means dismantling the current Brexit deal and putting us back under the yolk of Brussels.
One of the key tests Mrs Badenoch has laid out is that there must be ‘no backsliding’ on Freedom of movement.
In my view, this is exactly what we need to be hearing from Mrs Badenoch.

A full throated defence of Brexit is vital if we are to win back those Reform switches, who are essential to winning back power at the next general election.
If the Conservative’s use their presence in Parliament to keep defending Brexit, I believe Mr Farage find more common cause with the Tories.
I do not doubt that Mrs Badenoch has a serious battle on her hands to get the Conservative Party back into power.
However, if the Conservative Leader keeps this clear messaging and latches onto the key issues of immigration and Brexit. I believe that there is a chance that we could see a revival of the Conservative Party.
We simply cannot repeat the mistakes that were after 1997 and spend over a decade in opposition. The country cannot afford that.
Let’s not forget that oppositions can and do have bruising times in local elections and then go on to win General Elections. In 2021, Sir Keir Starmer’s Labour party lost 327 council seats and a by-election in Hartlepool.
In a set of local elections so bruising that, apparently, the Labour leader seriously considered resigning. Three years later, the Labour leader walked into Downing Street having won a landslide victory. It can be done.
