You could argue that prime minister's questions is no longer fit for purpose. Indeed, that it never really has been. Just a theatre showcase for some performance politics where few answers are ever extracted from the prime minister. To which you might now add that the Tories are not the real opposition. So Kemi Badenoch is essentially an impostor. Sometime over the summer the mantle of official opposition passed to Reform UK. So it really should be Nigel Farage, not Kemi, asking the questions.

Stride emphasizes that the Conservatives will not repeat the economic mistakes of the past, highlighting the importance of responsible fiscal discipline over unfunded tax cuts.

Clark foresaw that giving MPs a vote on leadership would turn contests into public spectacles, undermining loyalty and discipline within the Conservative party over time.

Jenrick emphasized that the Conservative party must act swiftly on new policies to avoid being outpaced in a competitive political landscape.

"I think that we have to accept that we are fighting to justify our existence and there is no point sugar coating that reality."
