The recent Conservative party conference in Birmingham saw leadership candidates Robert Jenrick, Kemi Badenoch, James Cleverly, and Tom Tugendhat present their visions for the future of the party amidst a surprisingly upbeat atmosphere despite the party’s recent election defeat. Isabel Hardman, deputy editor of the Spectator, noted the positive mood, attributing it partly to Labour’s struggles in recent weeks. The article explores the candidates’ performances and speculates on who Labour would be most concerned about among them.

The piece highlights the importance of the decision facing the party and the need for strong leadership to navigate the uncertainties ahead.
