From the Guardian.
And, while claiming that the Conservatives are the only party “serious” about policy, Badenoch is also going to use her speech for a bit of internal faction-fighting – blasting Prosper, the new group launched by Ruth Davidson and Andy Street arguing for “moderate” Conservatism.
In the extract sent out overnight, Badenoch does not name Prosper. But she clearly refers to them, saying:
"There’s another group of people who seem to think that if we just pretend that nothing bad is happening, everything is going to be OK …
… as long as we say nice things and don’t mention immigration.
This is my message to them.
We’re about the future, not the past.
We’re not trying to recreate 2006 and it’s not 2016 any more.
We aren’t refighting those battles. It’s 2026 and the world has changed.
This is about the future. I am building a Conservative party for the next decade and the next generation."
When it boils down to it, there's not really going to much difference between the Tories and Reform at the next election.

A few humorous snippets from John Crace's sketch in the Guardian
"Badenoch shoots herself in the foot on the Tories’ long march to the right
Not content with haemorrhaging MPs to Reform, Kemi decides to drive others into the arms of the Lib Dems
Half the Tories are on defection watch to Reform. And after today, the other half will be on defection watch to the Lib Dems. It was hard to take anything she said seriously.
The Tories were on a relentless march to the right, Kemi insisted. Anyone who didn’t like the direction of travel could f**k off now. It was her way or the highway." [Post edited 29 Jan 8:51]
