Kemi Badenoch has told her shadow cabinet not to expect any big Conservative policy announcements for the next two years.

At a meeting with shadow ministers on Tuesday, the Tory leader said she would not announce any detailed policies until at least 2027 because the focus until then should be regaining voters’ trust.
