Kemi Badenoch calls for a smaller state and lectures low-income families on self-reliance. Meanwhile, she claims nearly £3,000 a month in rent and council tax for a six-bedroom farmhouse — all on the public purse.
This isn’t just hypocrisy. It’s grift dressed up as governance.

What's astounding is that Badenoch would
- criticise a show she hasn't seen
- invoke a false, debunked race baiting claim from a far right
influencer who hasn't seen it either
- take a shot at a show about the dangers of credulously
believing online BS by herself credulously believing online BS

Kemi Badenoch's spokesman repeatedly refuses to tell me where the leader
of the opposition got her claim from that the main character in Adolescence
had been "race-swapped" from black to white, telling me that it's
"astounding" that | should ask him about it

Here's Kemi Badenoch's original comments, which she made despite
not even having watched the programme, and despite the fact that the
creators of Adolescence had already explicitly denied this conspiracy
theory
In an interview with GB News, asked if she has seen it, Badenoch replied:
" Well, I think Adolescence is a fictional story. Its based on a real story, but my
understanding is that the boy who committed that crime was not white.
So, people can do whatever they like in fiction. The prime minister should not
be building policy on fiction. He should be building policy on reality. What is the
reality? Phones are disrupting schools and not enough schools have effective
bans.](https://files.mastodon.social/media_attachments/files/114/268/908/441/248/707/original/f3d8ac94d627640b.png "Adam Bienkov [+ Foto ]
