SubscribeI heard an interview with Kemi Badenoch on political thinking ..I didn’t know who was speaking at first but first thought was, who is this? A politician that’s an actual PERSON…nothing pre-chewed or PR-fit…a person prepared to share themself and be themself. Looking forward to listening..
I can’t get enough of her. She’s by far the Tories best hope. She’s funny, entertaining, intelligent, clear sighted; she takes her job very seriously – but not herself. She is a force of nature & has real charisma. Go Kemi!!
She’s brilliant. She really is the only hope the Tories have!
Kemi Badenoch is well worth listening to, a politician with clear views and values, a rare commodity in 2024.
As a resigned Conservative member I wish her well in this leadership election, if she manages to bring the Tory Party together as a ‘conservative’ party then she will win the next election.
She is a breath of fresh air. She is now leader of the Tory party and this gives me a great feeling of optimism for the future.
