Kemi Badenoch's debut broadcast as Conservative leader diverged drastically from typical political messaging, resembling a despairing reflection rather than an optimistic rallying cry. Starting with an acknowledgment of a predicted Labour landslide, she displayed an unsettling indifference toward her party's failures, claiming only that the British public was justified in their rejection. Throughout her speech, a notable absence of accountability or regret was apparent, as she criticized the issues plaguing the country without recognizing the Conservative Party's role in these problems, leaving even her supporters disillusioned by her remarks.
You can only step back and applaud. The audacity. The vision. Never before has political nihilism been so wholeheartedly embraced.
Only for Kemi Badenoch's first broadcast as Conservative leader, she chose to break with all convention. What followed was more a career suicide note than a message of hope.
We had let them down. She said this in a tone that suggested she wasn't much bothered. It was just one of those things.
There’s a lot that needs fixing, she continued. No shit. The economy. The NHS. Immigration. And who broke it?
