Last to speak was Badenoch, who pledged a \u201creboot\u201d of the British state as she attacked what she branded \u201cagressive identity politics\u201d and \u201csocialism\u201d.<\/p>\n
Speaking about her upbringing in Nigeria, Badenoch said she valued \u201cConservative freedoms\u201d and had \u201cseen what happens when a country loses sight of those principles\u201d.<\/p>\n
The former business secretary argued that the UK\u2019s system of government was \u201cbroken\u201d and her party needed to go back to \u201cfirst principles\u201d to fix it.<\/p>\n
\u201cIf I become leader, we will immediately begin a once in a generation undertaking,\u201d she said, promising a \u201ccomprehensive plan to reprogramme the British state\u201d.<\/p>\n
Her plan, she said, would focus on reforming international agreements, human rights laws, the Treasury, the Bank of England, the civil service and NHS.<\/p>\n
She said her campaign was about \u201crenewal\u201d in time for the next general election, adding: \u201cWe have it in our power to make the 2030s a golden decade.\u201d<\/p>\n
In the party\u2019s first conference out of government for 15 years, the round of speeches followed the same format that propelled David Cameron into pole position for the leadership in 2005.<\/p>\n
In that conference, Cameron spoke without a full text of his speech, while this time all but Jenrick used a teleprompter.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
