Kemi Badenoch says she wants Reform voters to 'come back' to the Conservatives

Conservative Party leader Kemi Badenoch has said she wants voters who have moved their support to Reform UK to "come back" to the Conservative Party, according to a BBC report.

The remarks come as the Conservatives continue to grapple with the loss of support to Reform UK, which has drawn voters from across the political spectrum, including a notable share of former Conservative supporters.

Appeal to former supporters

Badenoch's comments reflect an ongoing effort by Conservative leadership to address the party's standing in opinion polls, where Reform UK has gained ground in recent months. The specific policy or messaging changes Badenoch may be proposing to win back these voters were not detailed in the available report.

The Conservative Party has faced a challenging period since its general election defeat, with internal debates continuing over how to position itself relative to Reform UK on issues such as immigration and the economy.

It remains to be seen whether Badenoch's appeal will translate into a shift in polling support, as both parties continue to compete for voters on the right of British politics.
