Navigating Leadership and Opposition Within the Conservative Party

It's been Kemi-takes-action week for the Conservatives, with the leader of the opposition trying to prove that she can – in fact – do policy. She launched a series of policy reviews, which will be delivered in a steady stream between now and conference, with a headline statement on Net Zero, declaring that Britain’s 2050 emissions target was ‘impossible’. That went down well with the party, and many thought her announcement felt genuinely proactive rather than reactive.

After months of being criticised for not doing enough, is she finally shifting the dial? Will it be enough to avoid a local elections wipeout?

Katy Balls speaks to James Heale and Paul Goodman.

Produced by Oscar Edmondson and Cindy Yu.
