Badenoch Unveils Integration Plan to Tackle Separatism

Kemi Badenoch plans to replace integration with assimilation policies, including a Meritocracy Test and a new national curriculum, aiming to end separatism in Britain, citing the Gorton & Denton by-election.

  • At the Policy Exchange think tank, Kemi Badenoch proposed overhauling the Equality Act and creating a Cultural and Integration Commission to report before the Conservative Party conference in the autumn.
  • Last week, the Gorton and Denton by-election prompted Badenoch to say parties are mobilising voters on ethnicity and religion after decades of failed integration left communities detached.
  • Among the measures, Badenoch proposed a curriculum telling a coherent national story and a meritocracy test barring public bodies from using race or identity in decisions.
  • Badenoch warned Britain risks splitting into `parallel societies` unless governments promote assimilation, heightening tensions around MP Bob Blackman and Reform UK's claim about 10 per cent born in Pakistan.
  • While the international war between the United States, Israel, and Iran dominated headlines, Badenoch attempted to link domestic integration concerns with the conflict, claiming Starmer hesitated out of fear of upsetting groups whose loyalties do not align with British interests.
