Badenoch call-out for new Conservative candidates like an “arsonist running a firefighter recruitment drive”

EMBARGO: Immediate Release

Responding to Kemi Badenoch’s speech this morning, Daisy Cooper MP, Liberal Democrat Deputy Leader, said:  

“Badenoch calling for new Conservative candidates to fix the economy is like an arsonist running a firefighter recruitment drive.

“Her slapdown of Ruth Davidson and Andy Street sent a clear message to moderate, centre-ground Conservative voters across the country: she doesn't want their support.

“The Liberal Democrats will offer a home to all those let down by the old two parties and who believe in British values of decency, tolerance and the rule of law.”
