As a Nigerian, I'm so happy this woman left this country and started a new life there in the UK. If I had her opportunity, I'd have done the same thing.

[redxheartxshapex]

New politicians that indeed could represent the interests of the real people are needed urgently. This is a disgrace of times.

[GPR]

Her "big speech" was rubbish and she is a bit of a joke as a party leader to be honest. The applause are her followers hanging on every word. How low the tories have sunk. How the mighty ( in party terms) Bottom of barrel reached.

[rayzalaf]

Establishment stooge of the Uniparty, EU and WEF, I used to vote conservative, not anymore Kemi Badenough and the Con servatives will never get my vote again.

[karlu]

It's just more BS, sound bites, the tories have had their time, Trust, jesus, she said that with a straight face, no passion in her voice, bring on reform,

[ftsetradersteve]

I always voted Conservative until the last election when I voted Reform....I will not be voting for Badenoch as she supports means tested pensions....

[jaimieelton]

Shes great! Let see what plans she comes up with

[robw]

Straight speaking, honest, decent core values, intelligent and practical. The better she is the louder her detractors criticise her.

[sonasp]

How long before Kemi Badenoch loses her postion? Getting Truss vibes from her.

i am a massive fan of kemi badenoch :). i hope she becomes the uk's 1st ever BAME female prime minister. politics, and the appeal of it, needs something like that. however, her speech was, sadly, in all honesty, a missed opportunity :(. she would've been better advised attacking labour more rather than just talking about her childhood. especially considering, according to the opinion polls, she's not only behind labour she's behind even REFORM :(

[bobdigi]

I'm glad she finally admitted the Tories want to means test the UK pension

[aytw]

She should just sit down and be quiet, no one wants to hear any BS from her.

[boghaleosagie]

Same old story about childhood, nothing new. It sounds like a broken record

[boghaleosagie]

She has nothing new to offer the citizens. Just yapping about her childhood as if that will bring change to the uk. How will she bring interest rates down? She just talks and talks with nothing relevant. How? Speech upon speech. Yet she owned a very expensive school in lagos

[dbarra-]

Write to the leaders and voice your concerns.

[dianamincher]

Badenoch should be washing dishes in Lagos!

[lawsonspedding]

What about the CAN bill ? It is a disgrace !

[JudithWright]

Means testing pensioners. Shocking! We thought that we had made provision ……..

[gabsearly]

No substance, vague, inconsistent, mendacious, poorly delivered, utter drivel. 😴

[AndrewBush-dj]

Kemi is right but in my opinion she is struggling we had 14 years of the same stuff and she says she comes from a poor country she not even British
