Key Conservative figures, including Tees Valley Mayor Ben Houchen and former Prime Minister Liz Truss, have voiced concerns about the party's internal struggles ahead of the 2029 general election.
Houchen believes the Tories themselves are their biggest threat, citing unfulfilled promises like 'levelling up' the North. Meanwhile, Truss claims the party would have performed better in the last election had she remained leader. These comments come amid growing speculation that the dominance of the Conservative and Labour parties in British politics may be waning, with the rise of smaller parties like Reform UK and the Liberal Democrats.
The Conservative Party Conference has become a platform for these internal debates, highlighting the party's uncertain future.
