Priti Patel Intensifies Tory Leadership Bid with Attacks on Starmer

The former home secretary targets pension cuts and immigration policies as she seeks to secure a place in the final four candidates.

Patel criticizes Prime Minister Keir Starmer for scaling back winter fuel payments, calling it a financial assault on pensioners.
She proposes reviving controversial immigration policies and emphasizes her grassroots appeal to Tory members.
Patel faces tough competition from five other candidates, including Kemi Badenoch and Robert Jenrick, in the leadership race.
The Conservative Party's leadership contest follows a historic election defeat, leaving the party in a weakened state.
Voting begins next week with the field narrowing to four candidates before the party conference in late September.
