Leadership rivals publicly attack one another as backbenchers cry foul over 1922 Committee election
The former home secretary continued to wage war on her own party, blaming the “liberals” within the rank and file, just days after she attacked the LGBT+ movement.Backbench Tories were plunged into their own civil war over the election of Bob Blackman as the new chairman of the 1922 Committee, with one describing it as a “farce”.
A former Tory MP who lost their seat in the election said: “I wouldn’t be surprised if Suella defected to Reform in the next few months if she doesn’t get into the leadership race.”Despite the growing criticism, Ms Braverman took to X to continue her attacks on her colleagues, stating: “The liberals are having a meltdown about my speech. Basic truths about our Party are not easy to hear.
The comments immediately attracted a bitter response from Ms Braverman, who replied: “Kemi, and the rest of the Cabinet, should not have nodded along, as they and Rishi took the party to disaster.Senior Tories are understood to be increasingly concerned about the ongoing attacks from Ms Braverman as it battles to put on a united front ahead of what is expected to be a bitter leadership fight.
However, Sir Edward Leigh told reporters after the meeting: “The Conservative Party will never recover unless it’s a proper Conservative Party doing conservative things. The public are absolutely furious, and we did not control mass, immigration, legal and illegal.
