Kemi Badenoch’s curtain-closing conference speech was certainly punchier than Sunday’s attempt to rouse morale. The Leader of the Opposition was met with rapturous rounds of applause with her Labour-attacking, Brexit-backing barbs.It might prove enough to stave off the threat from her energy-enhancing Shadow Justice Secretary, Robert Jenrick, but for all of the talk about competency, voters haven’t forgotten what happened in the Tory Party’s final few years in power.”They’re full of s**t,” one security guard told GB News as Mrs Badenoch set out her plan for Britain. In a damning assessment of the political landscape, the Mancunian predicted a teal…
