Former UK Home Secretary Priti Patel has announced her bid for the leadership of the Conservative Party, pledging to restore the party's "winning ways" and return it to government. Patel has criticised Labour leader Keir Starmer's decision to cut winter fuel payments for pensioners and accused him of conducting a "nasty financial assault" on Britain's elderly population. Patel is among six candidates vying for the leadership role, with a new leader expected to be announced in November.
