This is The Guardian.

The Conservatives went into their party conference, staring down the barrel of electoral oblivion.

But Kemi Badernott says only her party can fix the country. We are the only party that has the vision, the courage and the competence

to tear up a broken political model, deliver a new blueprint for our country

and together take Britain into an era of prosperity and security.

But with many questioning Badenock's leadership, could the task of turning the party's fortunes

around fall to somebody else?

Are we going to quit when the going gets tough?

Are we going to dig deep and fight like never before?

How long will our battle last?

As long as it takes.

The future is unclear for the party and with reform dominating in the polls, the stakes couldn't be higher.

So where do the Conservatives go from here?

I'm Karen Stacey.

And I'm Pippa Carrera.

Hello. Hi, Pippa. I've just come out of Kemi Bader Knox's legist speech on the last day of

Tory conference. The end of our conference season is over Kieran. We'll be heading home very shortly.

And I have to say, I went into the hall with quite low

expectations not least because so much of the chatter around this conference has been whether

not just is Kemi Badenock doomed whether the Tory party itself faces oblivion and it felt like a

pretty steep challenge for her to do anything to shift the dial.
