James Cleverly: “Frankly, Kemi is doing really well now. She’s getting great cut-through.”

I have told Kemi Badenoch that I will leave the shadow cabinet. Serving there has been a privilege, and I know there will continue to be strong voices around that table.

I don’t buy the lazy idea that London is a Labour city.

Communities are being abandoned by the current approach and forced to tolerate lawbreaking on their doorsteps.

Other parties simply amplify every criticism of the capital, talking it down without offering either a credible plan or showing any real desire to make things better.
