Kemi Badenoch Apologises for Suella Braverman Mental Health Claim
Kemi Badenoch blames Tory defections on personal grievances, urging party unity behind her agenda to rebuild and renew the Conservative Party for the next decade.
- On Wednesday, Kemi Badenoch, Conservative Party leader, told a central London audience she was fighting to rescue her party and called defections to Reform UK `a tantrum dressed up as politics`, labelling Reform UK and Labour Party `drama queens`.
- Suella Braverman defected to Reform on Monday, days after Nadhim Zahawi left reportedly seeking a peerage, and Robert Jenrick was sacked this month amid alleged plotting to defect.
- Kemi Badenoch laid out a policy platform emphasising stronger borders, halting de-industrialisation, and cutting welfare, while inviting applications for the next generation of MPs to deliver meritocracy and dismantle the bureaucratic class.
- Rival parties and centre‑right allies delivered contrasting reads of Badenoch's pitch, with a Prosper UK spokesman praising her economic focus while Labour and Liberal Democrats criticised the Conservatives' state.
- Badenoch framed her leadership as renewal for the next decade and generation, saying Conservative Party members elected her to build for the next decade and the next generation and allies must support her agenda or step aside.
