Britain’s once-mighty Conservative Party battling extinction

Britain's Conservatives used to boast they were the world's most successful political party. Not anymore.

The centre-right party that governed the UK for more than 60 of the last 100 years before being ousted in 2024 is embracing Donald Trump-style policies, including mass deportations and DOGE-style spending cuts, as it battles to remain a contender for power.

Nigel Farage's hard-right party has topped opinion polls for months, trounced the Conservatives in May's local elections and has welcomed a stream of defecting Tory members and officials.

“Yes, we have a mountain to climb,” Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch told party members at their annual conference, which ends Wednesday in Manchester. “But we have a song in our hearts, and we are up for the fight.”
