Kemi Badenoch has warned that Britain's "future is not as bright as it once was" because "we have lost control" as she unveiled her plans for Conservative leadership.
The MP for North West Essex launched a scathing attack on Labour as she weighed into the race.
Badenoch said she understood why people from abroad would want to come to the UK to build their own lives - but issued the dire warning over the country's future before launching into a series of barbs against Labour - which she labelled "clueless, irresponsible and dishonest".
She told attendees that Starmer's party was "already making worse mistakes than we did" but warned the Tories could not simply sit back and highlight the Government's errors.
In a pledge to Tory members, Badenoch concluded by saying: "Our party has principles - the very best principles. They are the principles of the British people, the principles not of the centre ground but of the common ground.
"They are the source of our country's strength, its heritage and its future. With the right engineering, there is no limit to what we can do.
"So it is time to begin this work... It is time to give new hope, it is time to renew."
