"Of course, Kemi might argue that she has proved the doubters wrong. She has become leader of the Tory party, after all. Though that's not the job it used to be. A small party becoming ever smaller. Where no sensible person really wants to be leader anyway. But credit where credit's due Kemi is the living embodiment of the Dunning-Kruger effect."
"Keir Starmer, who opened the session with a lengthy statement. The Tory accusations were baseless. It was just a desperate attempt to make trouble. The facts of the case were as described earlier it had been the Tories' failure, while in government, to describe the Chinese as a threat that had led to the charges being dropped. But in the interests of transparency, he was going to publish the three witness statements, including the key one from Matt Collins, the deputy national security adviser."
Kemi Badenoch opposed a ceasefire between Israel and Gaza and showed little self-awareness after a poor Gaza statement. She pursued allegations about the collapse of the China spying case during Prime Minister's Questions but was undermined when Keir Starmer announced publication of three witness statements, including Matt Collins's. The account portrays her as overconfident and lacking judgment, invoking the Dunning-Kruger effect. Her rise to Tory leadership is framed as surprising given perceived limitations, and her repeated attempts to press Starmer made no substantive headway and appeared ineffective.
