Coventry Telegraph
|September 17, 2025
KEMI Badenoch has acknowledged her party is enduring a “rough and bumpy time” following the defections of MP Danny Kruger and former minister Maria Caulfield to Reform UK.
-
The Conservative leader told GB News that “every leader regrets losing people to another party”, and suggested there could be more defections if Reform maintains its polling lead.
She said: “There will be some people who will go to another party because of poll ratings. I have to make sure that I'm very focused on the strategy.”
Ms Badenoch added that others could leave “because they don’t like the new policies”, such as her emphasis on “no more lavish spending” and cutting welfare, and agreed that her party faced a difficult period.
