History? Hmm…
Times of IndiaBlack woman leading Britain’s oppn Tories? But look closely for real picture History, it was said, was made when a black woman was elected to lead Britain’s Conservatives, who are in opposition after getting thumped by Labour in national polls. Kemi Badenoch ticked two identity boxes, black and woman, that have never been ticked by one Tory leader. Second, among experienced Tories who survived the election bloodbath, there would have been the feeling that this wasn’t exactly the best time to want to lead the party. She’s a standout minority community candidate anyway because she champions several views associated with cussed old white men – she’s anti-woke, she’s said “not all cultures are equally valid”, she’s anti-immigration, and she wants to cut taxes and reduce regulation.
