- Badenoch dismissed rumors of a coup, saying she ignores unendorsed reports, while critics accuse the Conservatives of failing on housing and asylum seeker accommodation policies.
- The reshuffle indicates efforts to reinvigorate the party despite challenges, with MPs urging bolder moves to shift Conservative fortunes before future elections.
