Priti Patel says she would get Tories back to government as party leader

Priti Patel has said she will get the Conservatives back to winning if she becomes party leader.

The Witham MP and former home secretary touted her experience in Cabinet and her work on immigration and policing while presenting herself as a “grassroots Conservative” as she launched her campaign in London.

She said she would get the party back to its “winning ways”.

Asked whether she believed the Conservatives could win the next general election, she said: “You bet we can.”

She said in a speech: “We are a patriotic party, a national party who believes in the union and the matters which concern hard-working people every single day.

“And I will lead us from opposition to government, so that we can serve the British people again and give them back the freedoms and the dignity that Labour will take away from them.”

"Under my leadership, I will bring our party experience and strength, and I will get us back to winning ways.”

For the brief moment she had any power, she looked down on the people. She doesn't need to be in politics

[LouWin-ve]

Her government left the country is such a state. I’m sure those with money benefitted well but the rest of us didn’t. Priti Patel disgusted me when they were in power and she is the last person to think she knows what the ordinary person wants and needs.

[ibrarali]

U all robbed us and u are saying ur gonna get tories back. You had 14 years

[jamesclarkson]

She talked a good talk about tackling illegal immigration when she was home secretary but ultimately nothing changed. People don't forget stuff like that.

[cyberhead]

Both Conservatives and Labour have had their day and both are finished after this government has gone.

[hellsgaming]

she forgot to mention shes lies so much she is untrustworthy

[kevinwellwrought]

If she is the one who wants to bring the Tories back together it might be even better to abolish the Tory party altogether and save the headache!

[ItsGazareth]

Immigration increased tenfold while Priti was Home Secretary, I don't know why she thinks people will vote for her.

[VoiceSriLanka]

She let the Indians come into uk more than the allocated level.
She went to Israel 🇮🇱 without telling the government.

[bobdigi]

Zero chance! We're all sick of the toxic party.

[lissamae]

As if.. She's toxic too. Tories are responsible for this mess and Labour are responsible for supporting Tories instead of being a functioning opposition party.

[Light]

You had your chance and you blew it!
When you don’t listen to the people who voted you to power, they also learn not to trust anything you say anymore!

[lroyjohnston]

This woman is a joke if she thinks that people would want her as leader of any government

[derekhenderson]

Patel would only be another disaster yet again. .Think again lady!

[JorgeRivera-rpzw]

After 14 years and the disaster results..! Have a little shame and resign..!

[charlie-jou]

This is the lady that looked down on anyone who opposed her by the way

[tom]

I don't want Starmer, but i don't want them back either

[cactusman]

Conservative and labour are surely finished now, i certainly won't ever vote for either of them again, we need leaders who love the country and have a backbone.

[MarkStevens]

Pritti useless, as dreadful as Labour are who is going to vote for Patel?Cleverly?Tom whatshisface?
We are up the creek politically 😢.

[ericafoster]

This woman couldnt run my dog up the street let alone run a country. I say this as a 72 year old ex tory. Vote reform.
