Asked about Stride's comment that she would get better, Badenoch told the BBC: "The people who have done this job before have all told me that the first day is not what the last day is going to be like."That every week is different, every week you're learning.
"And that's what you want, you want people who are going to get better."Badenoch, who became Tory leader in November, admitted her party had "made some mistakes" and had "hit rock bottom" at the last general election.She said she was changing the party but "it's not going to happen overnight" - and she insisted she would definitely lead it into the next general election in four years time.
Earlier this week, Stride distanced the party from former Prime Minister Liz Truss's mini-budget, saying in a speech that it had damaged their economic credibility.The £45bn package of tax cuts funded by borrowing sparked turmoil on financial markets and led to Truss resigning after just 45 days in office.
Asked why she did not make a decisive break with Truss by throwing her out of the party, a smiling Badenoch said she did not know whether the former PM was still a member.
"Is she still in the party?" she asked, insisting that she was not interested in "any particular individual" but about how to get the country "back on track".The Foundation's students will also be showcasing their hats at this year's Royal Ascot, which runs from 17-21 June.
