Kemi Badenoch’s ratings are improving because voters are starting to see a leader who is clear, authentic and willing to take difficult decisions. While Labour descends into infighting and U-turns, @KemiBadenoch has focused on holding the Government to account, rebuilding trust and setting out a serious alternative for Britain.

The latest polling shows her favourability at its highest level since becoming Conservative leader, with a steady upward trend over recent months.

There is still a long way to go, but voters are beginning to listen.

On leader net approval Badenoch hits a personal high at -1, almost breaking even, Davey is at -9, Farage at -14, Polanski -25 and Starmer is at the bottom of the list on -48.

These thugs fractured the spine of Sgt Kate Evans, who spoke in court of the medical and emotional trauma she still lives with.
Prison is where they belong.
Unlike Zack Polanski, I want serious consequences for anyone who attacks police officers risking their lives to protect us.

Love that Nigel’s big “gotcha” is mostly a screenshot of the office address and letter heading 😂

Let’s help him out by highlighting the actual contents he didn’t bother to read.

For those who prefer facts to rage, our detailed legal analysis on PSED is in the thread below 👇

Pretty much an admission from the Treasury, that they have given up on welfare reform. We cannot carry on like this! The defence budget has to be the priority right now!

[Politics UK @PolitlcsUK]

🚨 NEW: A Treasury source attacks John Healey for resigning as Defence Secretary

"Let's be clear on what John is asking for: cuts to schools and hospitals"

h/t @e_casalicchio

[Jack Rankin MP 🇬🇧 @jackmrankin]

An honourable resignation. We must spend more of defence NOW and the PM’s political weakness meaning he cannot cut welfare is a national security matter.

And Burnham is writing unfunded WASPI cheques. Fundamentally unserious.

@NileGardiner @nadhimzahawi @ZiaYusufUK @reformparty_uk @Heritage Funniest thing I have read all day!

EXC: I spoke to Nicola Sturgeon about her World Cup predictions and her views on the issues surrounding the tournament for working-class football fans.

@CEdwards132 @Rik_w2010 Welcome to the team Laura. It is good to have on board. Kemi is something special! Keep spreading the word!

[Scott Carlton @ScottPCarlton]

@Villan_Tommy @ElectionMapsUK You don’t get another election in local govt until the next scheduled elections, unlike in Parliament where snap elections can be called. You will only get by-elections if a Cllr resigns, or regrettably passes away.

[Scott Carlton @ScottPCarlton]

Brillliant stuff. You came across very well @Winstamike well done and all best with your campaign.

[Conservatives @Conservatives]

Our candidate for the Makerfield by-election @Winstamike destroyed Andy Burnham on Question Time last night ⬇️

[Scott Carlton @ScottPCarlton]

Some people really have sunk so low.

Sad. Very sad 😔

[Tim Montgomerie 🇬🇧 @montie]

A big week in my estimation of @KemiBadenoch. She is big about not making party politics out of the Nowak tragedy while making every party political point she can at every opportunity - and clearly conspiring with Keir Starmer in doing so. It was a particular giveaway that she didn't ask any question on the issue that's gripped the nation at this week's #pms. We see you Kemi, we see you.

[Scott Carlton @ScottPCarlton]

This is real leadership.

[Kemi Badenoch @KemiBadenoch]

Today I have met Lucy, Mark and Katie, Henry Nowak’s mother, father and stepmother. Their courage is extraordinary.

They have endured the most appalling loss, it is a life sentence for them.

They have also faced the agonising decision to release the harrowing body-worn camera footage, knowing how painful it would be and how strongly people would react. They did so because they want truth, accountability and change.

They have asked that we work across political parties and religions to rebuild trust in the police. That trust has been broken because of what happened, and I agree with them on that.

We must also be prepared to examine, carefully and seriously, religious practices or exemptions that permit the carrying of dangerous weapons in public, and other activities that are not conducive to the public good. We also need to examine where the law needs to change.

Henry’s family do not want anger to tear communities apart. They are a family who have friends across faith and race, and so did Henry. His family want his memory to help bring our society together.

Everyone knows I have strong views about how we should deal with equality under the law. What the family agreed with me on is that we need to bring common sense back, and that is what we should all be fighting for.

I promised the family that we will work to ensure there is a positive legacy for Henry out of this tragedy.

That is my focus now.

@rhcpchris @itvpeston @Peston @RobertJenrick @KemiBadenoch Again her remarks made in 2020 are also completely taken out of context. I suggest you watch that speech too!

[Scott Carlton @ScottPCarlton]

@JamesBennettUK He’s one of Reform’s biggest liabilities.

[Scott Carlton @ScottPCarlton]

@DrHoenderkamp You obviously prefer the lies then….

[Katie Lam @Katie_Lam_MP]

Group-based grievance politics is a road to disaster.

Kemi Badenoch has known this, and had the courage to say it aloud, for years.

Even when it was hard. Even when it was unfashionable. Even when she was attacked for it.

She was right then, and she’s right now.

[Scott Carlton @ScottPCarlton]

@stevens83747301 @AdamSykesWirral @seledka_vodka Why am I not?

[Neil O'Brien @NeilDotObrien]

Given that some people are now trying to *completely* re-write history it is worth recalling which minister got lots of flack back in 2020 for attacking critical race theory.

[Conservatives @Conservatives]

Reform’s attack on @KemiBadenoch is a straightforward lie, and everyone can see it.

Here’s what Kemi actually said this morning ⬇️
