"Kemi Badenoch has mocked her former Conservative Party colleagues who recently defected to Reform, accusing them of lashing out over failed leadership ambitions and having a tantrum dressed up as politics. In a speech days after her party lost yet another former cabinet minister to Nigel Farage's party, the Tory leader dubbed both Reform UK and Labour as drama queens as she sought to reframe the Conservatives as a party of serious people. In what appeared to be a jibe at recent defectors Robert Jenrick, Suella Braverman and Nadhim Zahawi, Mrs Badenoch suggested they had jumped ship after failing to secure positions in the shadow cabinet or peerages. To those who are defecting, who don't actually disagree with our policies, I will say, I'm sorry you didn't win the leadership contest, she told a press conference on Wednesday, as she fought to rescue her party from months of dismal polling. I'm sorry you didn't get a job in the shadow cabinet. I'm sorry you didn't get into the Lords. But you are not offering a plan to fix this country. This is a tantrum dressed up as politics."
