Tory Leadership Candidates Highlight Visions at Key Conference

The four contenders presented divergent paths to revitalize the Conservative Party, with speeches focusing on tax, migration, and party unity.

• James Cleverly emerged as a strong contender, emphasizing the need for party unity and apologizing for past mistakes.
• Robert Jenrick focused on right-wing policies, including leaving the European Convention on Human Rights, but faced criticism for recent gaffes.
• Kemi Badenoch aimed to reset her campaign, criticizing net zero policies and invoking her challenging upbringing.
• Tom Tugendhat leaned on his military background and called for an end to political games, but struggled to energize the audience.
• The final vote by Conservative MPs next week will narrow the field to two candidates, with the winner announced on November 2.
