We look at whether opposition leader Kemi Badenoch can lead a Conservative comeback. Polls have suggested the party’s popularity was at historic lows in 2025 and early 2026, but they’ve been slightly more favourable recently. So, after partygate and Liz Truss’ mini budget, are the British public ready to vote for the party again? We also look at Badenoch’s plans to build 50,000 new prison places in England and Wales, and the government’s rollback on jury trials.
