Looking at @YouGov’s head-to-head tracker of best PM, Kemi is playing an absolute blinder for right-of-centre voters with a seriously impressive lead over Farage.
The more people see and hear of her, the more traction she gains over Reform. Aided by the fact Reform are populated with the cast-offs who failed Britain last time round, and the Tories are going for brand new talent from the real world.
Nigel is going for the bin, @KemiBadenoch is going for the win.
They may have changed leader but it’s the same old story.
Just like the SNP, Labour MPs are pushing for more spending on benefits paid for by hard-working taxpayers.

Today is polling day in Peterhead South and Cruden.
If you live in Peterhead South, Hatton, Boddam, Cruden Bay, or the rurals around those: you have until 10pm to vote 1 for Ross Gibb!
Only Ross can beat the SNP and send a clear message both Labour and SNP must back oil & gas.
ABERDEEN SOUTH TORY GAIN!!
@DLumsden_MSP wins the first @ScotTories gain at a Westminster byelection since 1967 with a bumper 25% increase in the share of the vote, taking 50%.
@KemiBadenoch and @RussellFindlay1 are making being a Conservative feel great again and I’m so here for it 👏
RBS Giffnock is due to close on 17 Sept 2026. This follows the loss of Clydesdale Bank and Bank of Scotland branches in recent years. I am taking this up formally with RBS owners NatWest and will seek clarity on the closure assessment, cash access assessment and mitigation plan.
Tonight, the Conservative Group has taken control of the London Borough of Enfield.
Congratulations to Cllr Alessandro Georgiou on becoming the new Leader of the Council.
FWIW on the “politician isn’t employment” discourse.
This is the exact problem that causes many usual employment rights not to be automatically given to Councillors e.g. parental leave.
Changes must be made so loopholes can be closed but also barriers to office removed.
Fabulous consultation on our plans at @sbc and Chambers Trustees to make impressive changes to the Chambers Institution in #Peebles. Come & have a look at the plans today, til 7.30pm. On Saturday from 10.30am to 3.30pm.

Read all about it!
Across Dumfries and Galloway we said that we could beat the SNP and keep the “blue wall” in place for local residents. And we did it!
Thanks to everyone who got us over the line.
A difficult result, but our dynamic dozen Scottish Conservative MSPs have the grit to stand up to John Swinney's rotten SNP.
My take in today's Scottish Mail on Sunday 👇
🚨There will be a Westminster by election in Aberdeen South very soon.
🤔 In the equivalent Holyrood seat, last week, the Conservatives came within 1300 votes of beating the SNP.
❗️ It’s clear what needs to happen in the by election- stick together. Let’s beat the SNP.
It’s been a moving day seeing a number of former MSPs sharing their farewells.
But no matter how you cut it, when polls had us down to 7 seats at the turn of the year if someone said 12 we would have grabbed it with both hands.
Big kudos to @RussellFindlay1 for pulling it back.
In Holyrood we need women who can work with other’s, are professional, politically astute, but also kind. In a world where some believe being rude, abrasive & aggressive is the way forward we say “be more like Julie” @Julie4clydedale
@ScottishCCA @ScotTories#peachtoryvote
It’s time we had a government which focused on building up Scotland rather than breaking up Britain.
Our sincere appreciation to all of our excellent candidates and activists for their hard work over the past few months.
Now Scotland, it is over to you. Vote @ScotTories.
Tomorrow, vote for a party who will stand up to the SNP and their referendum demands.
No matter where you live in Scotland, the best way to stop an SNP majority is by voting Scottish Conservative on your peach ballot paper.
Thanks to @dunfermlinep for publishing my personal statement in advance of the Holyrood election next week.
My pledges:
🏥 Restore A&E at Queen Margaret Hospital
🏫 Back our teachers, promote high standards in our classrooms
🚜 Protect our rural communities
And much more!
🏴🇬🇧 My critical message to all pro-UK voters:
John Swinney will unleash fresh constitutional chaos if the SNP get a majority - but we can stop him.
On May 7, vote Scottish Conservative on your peach ballot paper🗳️
My take in today's Scottish Daily Mail👇
Stop the SNP chaos with Carlaw. Vote @ScotTories in Eastwood next Thursday on both ballots.
And wherever you live in Scotland your peach ballot vote can elect resolute Tory Unionists with right of centre principles who will build up Scotland rather than breaking up Britain.
