Armed Forces minister James Heappey, who is understood to be managing Mr Wallace's campaign, told The Daily Telegraph: 'One of the things I most like about Ben is he has spent the last 48 hours thinking really hard about whether he wants to do it. He's got a good sense of humour too, even when things go wrong. 'His decency and integrity is not in question,' he added. Chancellor Mr Zahawi has said he 'instinctively' wants taxpayers to keep more of their money, and has vowed to wage war on Government waste.

Former equalities minister Kemi Badenoch has launched her Conservative Party leadership campaign despite her 'utterly failing' LGBTQ+ people.

Braverman, the MP for Fareham, send shudders of fear throughout the LGBTQ+ community when she suggested her leadership bid. She said her government would focus on cutting taxes while keeping a “tight spending discipline”. Peeling back the powers of government to only the “essentials” will be a top priority, she added. Confirming her candidacy to The Times, Badenoch said she wanted to curb government and to “tell the truth”.

Latest entrant hoping to replace Boris Johnson has had a speedy ascent marked by embrace of controversy.

Kemi Badenoch, the latest entrant to an increasingly crowded race to succeed Boris Johnson, has marked her brief time in parliament by the relative speed of her ascent and a willingness to embrace controversy and conflict over culture war issues. The journalist, Nadine White, then of the Huffpost website, received a significant amount of abuse following the tweets. Elected to the safe Essex seat of Saffron Walden in 2017, Badenoch took just two years to join the frontbenches and was, until her resignation this week, a joint minister for levelling up and equalities.

There's only one candidate for prime minister with the guts to dismantle the self-loathing culture of identity politics that is destroying Britain.

In her article today, she articulates a patriotic, free-market political philosophy that addresses the specific malignancies of the 21st century (in which, born in 1980, she has now lived most of her life). Government has become 'a piggy bank for pressure groups', she writes, with the vehemence of a former equalities minister who was subjected to their entitled lamentations. Badenoch, not coincidentally, was a minister under the man who coined that term: Michael Gove, the most successful reforming secretary of state for decades. But, unlike him, she ticks boxes that leave liberal power-brokers squirming over the etiquette of criticising her.
