Priti Patel will attack the Conservative party leadership, blaming heavy local election losses on “those in power and control”, in a speech on Saturday.
The former home secretary is expected to accuse the Tory leadership of having “done a better job at damaging our party” over the past year than Keir Starmer’s Labour party or leftwing campaign groups.
In extracts of Patel’s speech, seen by BBC News, she is also expected to say that “errors and mistakes made by a minority in Westminster have cost [the] party dearly”.
