Badenoch hits out at Suella Braverman and Reform for ‘questioning people’s identity’
Badenoch said Reform UK and Suella Braverman are questioning people’s identity as she urged voters to back the Conservatives instead.
- In her keynote conference speech in Birmingham, Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch accused Reform and Suella Braverman of "openly questioning people's identity," declaring the Conservatives are engaged in a "battle for the soul of the nation."
- These accusations follow comments from Braverman, a former Conservative home secretary who defected to Reform last year, who previously insisted that Englishness is "an ethnicity" and that she lacks "generational ties to English soil."
- Rejecting the "politics of ethnicity," Badenoch stated she refuses to explain to her son that "some people don't think our black players are English," and claimed the Conservatives had seen "an export boom of drama queens going to Reform."
- Addressing the party's future, Kemi Badenoch told delegates that many Reform voters "are our people" and the Conservatives "let them down," claiming these voters "deserve better than Reform politicians."
- Rebuilding the Conservatives after the 2024 election remains a "forbidding task" for Badenoch, who aims to transform the party into a "no drama" entity while continuing the battle for national identity.
