Kemi Badenoch: “He doesn’t have a plan beyond telling mayors to go and sort it out. This is not good enough.”

But I do feel the pull to Scotland because I see it as a place that should be more conservative than it is. I see it as a place that feels like it gets ignored by Westminster.

I want to be very clear – and I think people can look at me and know that I’m not a person who would be recruiting neo-Nazis.

When the proper process has run its course and there is a genuine contest, we will be there.

I have much higher thresholds for what it takes to be a Conservative MP.
