Lex Greensill has accused Kemi Badenoch of interfering in an insolvency case for political ends as the last Conservative government sought to protect David Cameron from scrutiny for his involvement in a lobbying scandal. The financier, whose companies paid Cameron millions of pounds, claimed that the current Tory leader used her former ministerial position as business secretary to restructure an inquiry into his activities.
"Labour talk about fairness with the language of Robin Hood. They think those that have taken from those that don't have. They talk about those with the broadest shoulders never worrying about the limit of what those shoulders can bear. They talk about fairness for 'working people', but they can't define what a working person is! They think that what they're doing is righteous, but they're wrong. What they're doing is making everyone poorer."

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.

Kemi Badenoch has proposed working with the Labour government to address the militant doctors' strike but demands a reversal of Keir Starmer's key election pledge regarding pay rises.
Badenoch emphasized the importance of open communication at her constituency surgery and requested that individuals wearing face coverings, including burqas, remove them to foster engagement.
