The Conservative leader recognised that it is natural for frustrated voters to protest vote, and that it was a “very competitive political environment”, but insisted she would win support with “authentic conservatism”.

00:00Well I think that what we will see certainly in this period is that we've
00:04just been kicked out of government. The Conservative Party I acknowledge made
00:08mistakes. We are now under new leadership but it's going to take time for that to
00:11bed in and when people are also unhappy with the current government then the
00:16natural place for them to go is a protest vote and that's what we're
00:19seeing. But I can't focus on what is happening in polling. I need to make sure
00:23that people understand what the Conservative Party is about. I need to
00:27start the process of rebuilding the party and earning the trust of the
00:31British people. That's what I'm focused on. Every party poses a threat to the
00:35Conservative Party. We are in a very competitive political environment and
00:39what we need to do is make sure that we are the very best version of ourselves.
00:43Let people see what authentic conservatism is and how it can deliver
00:46and that's how you win.
