Kemi Badenoch claims the Conservative Party has changed, but people in Spelthorne aren't so convinced. I came to hear their concerns, and it's clear: empty promises won’t make them forget years of Conservative chaos, neglect and failure.

Tories would like to keep the nation in poverty, starve public services and featherbed the richest segment of society with money they refuse to raise by improving free trade. They also want to keep an electoral system that delivers massive majorities to parties supported by 1/3rd of the population.
