Kemi in the news

Exclusive: In the first part of an interview with The Independent, Kemi Badenoch also described people who mocked Trump for doing an election stunt in McDonald’s as being ‘the problem’

‘There is no future if the people who are here will not fight for this country.’

There is little point in winning an election if the party is unprepared to govern. Mrs Thatcher knew this and so does Ms Badenoch

I want someone who speaks with conviction, is not afraid to stand up for our wonderful country and is, fundamentally, an authentic Conservative.

Kemi Badenoch insists she can 'face off' the double threat of Keir Starmer and Nigel Farage and restore the Tory party to its former glories.

It’s not surprising that being leader of the opposition is often described as the worst job in politics. I think Kemi Badenoch will relish it.

A black African woman leading the oldest political party in the world would be a sight for sore eyes

Her insistence on principles not policies as the route to renewal is correct — but she must avoid chasing Reform voters

We need a leader with the guts and capacity to steer the party through these changing times and offer the electorate in 2028 or 2029 a programme relevant to their concerns then. That is why I will be voting for Kemi Badenoch.
