Badenoch defends Jenrick's didn't see another white face' comments
"Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging. At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story."
"Asked about the remarks on Tuesday, Ms Badenoch criticised the left-leaning newspaper and said she took its reporting with a pinch of salt. The Tory leader said: The fact is these are recordings out of context, I don't know what was being discussed before. In and of itself, it's a factual statement. If he said he didn't see another white face, he might have been making an observation. There's nothing wrong with making observations."
Kemi Badenoch defended Robert Jenrick's 'not another white face' comment, saying he might have been making an observation and rejecting accusations of racism. Jenrick said during a 90-minute visit to Handsworth, Birmingham, that he didn't see another white face and added that this was not the kind of country he wanted to live in. Badenoch criticised reporting as out of context and said she was not present to verify preceding discussion. The Independent seeks donations to fund on-the-ground journalism without paywalls, citing coverage of reproductive rights, climate change, and Big Tech.
