Kemi Badenoch is New Conservative Party Leader

Kemi Badenoch has been announced as the new Conservative Party leader, defeating Robert Jenrick by 56.6% to 43.4% in a ballot of party members. It was a widely expected result as she had led by a considerable margin in all polls, though the final result was closer than many surveys suggested. Badenoch now has the difficult job of reviving the Tory party and winning back the trust of millions of voters who abandoned the party over its record in Government, especially over immigration but also over taxation and public spending, fuelled in large part by its catastrophic response to Covid. Kemi won 53,806 votes to Jenrick’s 41,318. The number of legal ballots cast was 95,124 out of an electorate of 131,680 (there were 739 invalid ballots cast). The turnout was 72.8%. (Including invalid ballots the breakdown was 56.1% to 43.1% with 0.8% invalid.)

Some numbers from the Telegraph:

The total turnout of 72.8% is the lowest since the system was changed in 1998.

The turnout last time around in the contest between Liz Truss and Rishi Sunak in summer 2022 was 82.2%.

At 56.6%, this is also the lowest vote share for a Tory leadership winner (Ms. Truss received 57.4%) and therefore the tightest race on record. …

The number of eligible electors this time round was 131,680. This is 23.6% lower than the 172,437 back in the summer 2022 contest.

Badenoch paid tribute to her rival, saying she and Jenrick “don’t actually disagree on very much” and that he has a “key part to play” for years to come.

I’d also like to pay a special tribute to Robert Jenrick who has fought a great campaign. Rob, we have all been impressed by your energy and your determination. You and I know that we don’t actually disagree on very much and I have no doubt that you have a key part to play in our party for many years to come. Thank you.

Addressing the task before her now, the new leader said:

The task that stands before us is tough but simple. Our first responsibility as His Majesty’s Loyal Opposition is to hold this Labour Government to account. Our second is no less important, it is to prepare over the course of the next few years for government, to ensure that by the time of the election we have not just a clear set of Conservative pledges that appeal to the British people, but a clear plan for how to implement them.

A clear plan to change this country by changing the way that this government works. The Prime Minister is discovering all too late the perils of not having such a plan. That huge job begins today.

It will seek to involve all of our colleagues in Parliament, in the Scottish Parliament, the Sennedd, our friends in Northern Ireland, as well as councillors and party members. But this is not just about the Conservative Party. It is about the people we want to bring back to the Conservative Party. It is about the people we need to bring into the Conservative Party.

It is about what the Conservative Party needs to be in the next five, 10 and 20 years. Our party is critical to the success of our country but to be heard we have to be honest. Honest about the fact that we made mistakes, honest about the fact that we let standards slip. The time has come to tell the truth, to stand up for our principles, to plan for our future, to reset our politics and our thinking, and to give our party and our country the new start that they deserve. It is down to get down to business, it is time to renew. Thank you, ladies and gentlemen.

Earlier, the Telegraph set the scene:

After the historic Tory wipeout in July, six MPs from all parts of the party threw their hats into the ring to sell their vision for the future of the party. 

Among the issues that have dominated the debate include the party’s relationship with the insurgent Reform U.K. and whether the U.K. should leave the European Convention of Human Rights.

The Conservative Party Conference, designed to be a beauty parade for remaining hopefuls Tom Tugendhat, James Cleverly, Kemi Badenoch and Robert Jenrick shook up the race. 

Stop Press: The Labour MP Dawn Butler heralded Kemi’s victory by sharing a social media post accusing Kemi Badenoch of representing “white supremacy in blackface”. The Telegraph has more.

Dr North did a good expose on the real Olukemi. Born here because her mother abused the NHS by coming here for the birth and then going back home to Nigeria. Olukemi was schooled in Nigeria and then went to the US for a college education so hardly a solid grounding in Britain. When elected as an MP her first words were all about being an MP for Nigeria. How she got a British citizenship seems unclear.

Given the corruption in Nigeria one wonders how her family managed to afford that life story for her.

And if there is so much available cash around why are we sending aid to Nigeria at all. My parents, my wife and me and our children could not afford to travel to deliver children in another country with better facilities. Although the NHS service will have been at the expense of the British tax payers, the flights and hotels would have added up to a lot.

Similarly with education. Who funded the US college and how.

The best result for Reform was to have the Nigerian Olukemi become Tory leader given that she drivelled on about ‘consensus’ and was full of platitudes but no actual solid ideas during the campaign. Now if Reform can move forward, replace its lightweight leader who demonstrated perfectly why he is unfit to take the party forward as his comments over not being allowed to raise the issue of when Two Tier and Pixie Balls knew the Southport murderer was a muslim terrorist were aimed at the wrong target. It was not the government blocking this but a Labour Speaker who was protecting his party. There could be no prejudice to the trial as all the evidence is hard evidence and not any conjecture. But as ever with Farage, he doesn’t do detail and missed an opportunity to put the pressure on Hoyle.

That’s nonsense Dinger. Some European countries have expelled immigrants without falling foul of the ECHR. The UK’s problem is the our judiciary is a greater obstacle. Badenoch has said that she’d be willing to leave ECHR if necessary but thinks wider – and deeper – reform of the British state and the immigration system should be tried first. She’s right: with an election nearly five years in the future, it’s exactly the style of leadership the Tories need now.

She cannot legally hold the post of UK Prime Minister as a Maryolater, according to The Law of This Land, as I have explained elsewhere. And she knows it.

I think there are no similar laws about Nigerian Prime Ministers, though, because they have no monarch, so she could legally hold such a post in her ancestral homeland.

It’s nearly five years until we’re likely to have an election. Kemi’s position on each of the issues you mention has been refreshingly clear: on mass immigration she’s seriously critical of the Government but sensibly doesn’t believe in easy answers (noting, for example, that the UK judiciary is more of an obstacle than the the ECHR); on Net Zero her position is that she’s a “net-zero sceptic but not “a climate change sceptic”, that she did not want to do something “because it looks good” and “before we figured out how to do it”- adding “is net-zero a solution or is it a slogan? .. I am not sure we have properly thought that through”; on diversity etc. she’s already wrong-footed the Government and made it look foolish. That’s precisely the leadership the Tories need now – not dreams about what they plan to do in a completely uncertain future.

On X a vidéo clip has been circulating of an audience member on BBC Question Time asking how is it that out of population of 65 million, those who get elected are all economically illiterate.

The answer is simple. Most of those 65 million are economically illiterate. They think the welfare state/NHS which has always since 1948 cost increasingly more than the wealth created in the economy won’t therefore require high taxation, high borrowing, booms and busts, bouts of high inflation, debauchery of the currency, economic regression.

Incompetent Globalist Manchurian Candidate “wins”. Here are some interesting comments from the public, especially the first one: — “A Tory leadership hopeful (Kemi Badenoch) held clandestine talks with media mogul Rupert Murdoch within days of joining the U.K. Cabinet. Murdoch questioned Badenoch for 20 minutes, and an official said a nervous Badenoch — who had not expected Murdoch himself to be in attendance — asked her aides afterward: “How did I do?” Looks like you got it, Kemi – back in in New York in September 2022 😉 ” — “Their new leader is more dog-eat-dog in her thinking than any of the other swivel-eyed loons in the Tory party. Some would say, bordering on psychopath. She has routinely lied in committee, and when called out on it, like Johnson, brass-faces and doubles-down on her claims without apology, pretending that it’s the rest of the world that’s wrong. And the Metro claiming she says the unsayable, as though that’s a good thing, well, that speaks volumes for that shyster rag of a paper.” — “It resembled a choice between amoebic dysentery or bubonic plague.

The Southport cover up… “What plays out now on the streets of Britain is a good question. The government fears unrest, and they are right to do so – given that everyone from the PM, the Home Secretary, the CPS and the Police have as good as admitted their role in the cover-up.

They way they’re handling this funeral of nothing particularly important is – as I also wrote yesterday – eerily similar to the way German authorities handle the same kind of issues which obviously also keep occurring in Germany. This strongly suggests that core policy, ie, the more immigration, the better for all of us, was not devised by the people executing it and that these people have had communication training to prepare them for handling issues which will likely arise as side effect of this core policy.

Can someone please provide a link to the ‘expose’ by ‘Dr North’ referred to by ‘Gezza England’ above? (Have googled and can’t find it.) Although I certainly don’t assume everything in Wikipedia is correct (!!), ‘Gezza’s’ comment about Kemi going to the US for a college education is at complete odds with the account at the former, and it would be good to have confirmation as to where (and why) the Wikipedia entry is incorrect.

As, it states that Kemi’s childhood was spent in Nigeria and the US, but that she returned to the UK at 16.

She achieved A Levels at Phoenix College in South London. She then studied Computer Systems Engineering at the University of Sussex, completing an MA in Engineering in 2003. It further says that whilst working in IT, she read Law part-time at Birkbeck, University of London, graduating as LLB in 2009.

Here’s an account of what someone on a social media thread (quoted above) described as ‘clandestine talks’. And elsewhere as ‘secret’. I’ve read various accounts, and, shortly after being made Secretary of State, during a trip to the US, seems she was invited for a chat, for about 20 minutes, with Rupert Murdoch, with various other people in the room present (Newscorp executives, embassy staff, government officials). As she was being touted as a future successor to Boris, it’s not surprising that RM (is he still alive?) wanted to meet her as he does like to be chummy with world leaders, and, sure, ‘use his influence’. But the meeting? Not exactly ‘secret’!

Matthew 9:17
“Neither do men put new wine into old bottles: else the bottles break, and the wine runneth out, and the bottles perish: but they put new wine into new bottles, and both are preserved.”

Luke 5:37

It’s a direct allusion to that. The word used for the container doesn’t really mean bottle.

Calvin deceived the world. Luther is the true one, the great one, and also gave us the marvellous gift of Congregational Singing in Church, which the Catholic Maryolaters banned for about 1400 years, from the Council of Laodicea until they changed tack and started copying the Protestants in alarm. For 1400 years, Catholic congregations were forced to be silent spectators to the monks droning monotonous chants and performing rituals in Latin, which the common people didn’t understand. Same thing in the Orthodox churches in Old Slavonic that nobody understands.

Luther said they sounded like “braying donkeys”, and started writing simple melodies and hymn lyrics in German for the congregation to sing together. It was revolutionary, and it is to him we owe our “Songs of Praise”.

I remember a few years ago being surprised to see many local Catholics arriving at the Anglican church Christmas carol service. When I asked them why they had come, they said their Catholic church didn’t do carol services, and they loved ours, and came every year to sing with the Protestants.

In general, Germany is catholic in the west, ie, the Rhineland¹ and in the south, in Baden, Würrtemberg and Bavaria (a grand duchy and two kingdoms before our “friends and allies” chose to take the monarchy away from us and rearrange German states according to some plan they had come up with during a game of darts with a map on the wall …).

¹ One of the reasons why the traitor Adenauer, himself a Rhenian Catholic, sought to abolish the ‘foreign rule’ of the Protestant Prussians although it took until after the second world war until someone would do his bidding (the official justification for abolishing Prussia has literally been taken from some of his writings after the first world war, before the attempt to create a West Germany as French satellite state had faltered due to lack of French military support for the insurgents’ coup).

I wonder which one is correct, DT and the Spectator, or Scottish TV.
Here is STV:
Barely 95,000 people voted in this year’s contest as turnout plunged to its lowest level on record amid declining party membership.
In 2022, when Liz Truss defeated Rishi Sunak, 141,725 members out of a total of around 172,000 voted in that leadership contest.
However, by Saturday there were only 131,680 Tory members eligible to vote for their next leader, a drop of 23%, while turnout fell from 82.6% to 72.8%.
It was also the tightest on record: while previous Tory leaders secured more than 60% of the vote, Kemi Badenoch was backed by 56.5% of those who took part.

Kemi Badenoch is New Conservative Party Leader

Meh. Let me know when she’s changed the party’s policies on Net Zero. Then I might begin to care.

Her position on Net Zero is:

That she was a “net-zero sceptic” but not “a climate change sceptic”. That she did not want to do something “because it looks good” and “before we figured out how to do it”. And “Is net-zero a solution or is it a slogan? .. I am not sure we have properly thought that through.”

Makes sense to me.

All just soundbites. Who cares? The people of Nigeria are not so feeble as to choose a blonde Swedish woman to represent the people of Nigeria, so why are the People of Great Britain supposed to choose a Nigerian woman to represent them?

It’s bizarre.

Well you should care – at last we’ve got someone in a position of power in this country who’s talking sense about the socially and economically disastrous – and pointless – Net Zero policy.

I can remember that back in 1975 when Thatcher was appointed to the leadership of the Conservative Party there were bigoted people like you saying ‘Oh No how can you expect a woman (a woman!) to lead a major political party – a job that can only be done by a MAN’. “It’s bizarre” they said.

And look what happened.

Oh my, a full-blown woketard here on the Daily Sceptic. That certainly makes a change.
Are you sure you’re not on her campaign team?

But she’s not in a position of power. She’s nominal leader of a divided party with inadequate clout in parliament to get anything done.

I find it mildly amusing that Labour still can’t manage to get a non-white, non-male leader but that’s about all. I hope I’ll be pleasantly surprised with Badenoch – but I doubt it.

I am not ‘net zero sceptic.’ It’s a firkin con.

I am not a ‘climate change sceptic.’ It’s a firkin con.

So Ms Baddenoch needs to do some proper research and then put out the bloody truth and stop peeing about fudging matters. Simple honesty will suffice.

No, there’s no surprise about the Globalist Manchurian Candidate being shoehorned into any leadership post the Globalists choose.

They are determined to put an Ethnic African female in charge of Britain, an Ethnic African female on the throne as “Queen Regent”, and an Ethnic African female in charge of the US. It’s all part of The Great Replacement.

As Olukemi Olufunto Adegoke said herself, she is “proud to be part of The Project That Is Great Britain”. What “project” is that? Nobody told the indigenous Brits about any project.

Oh, she means “THE GREAT REPLACEMENT”.

Her Indigenous Husband could do a much better job.

Tell it to the Indigenous Ethnic African people of Kenya, whose great former President Jomo Kenyatta said,

“THERE ARE TOO MANY TICKS ON THE LION’S BELLY!”,

before he kicked all the Indian Subcontinentals out of Kenya, for banding together against the Indigenous Ethnic Africans and taking over everything, trampling the Indigenous underfoot.

The leaders of Tanzania and Uganda followed Kenya’s excellent example, and also kicked out all the Indian Subcontinentals for the same reason.

And did they return to their own ancestral homelands to build those lands into great nations of India, Bangladesh, Pakistan & Sri Lanka?

No, they did not. They all swarmed into the West, to take over everything here.

NOBODY EVER CALLED THE KENYANS, TANZANIANS & UGANDANS “RACIST”.

So pack it in, hypocrite!

Yes, I read that about her opinions. If she manages to change her party’s policies on net zero I’ll be prepared to check them out once more.

I strongly suspect the party is too set in its ways on that subject for her to achieve that. As I said, let me know if it happens.

So she’s bought into the climate change nonsense, which is all the fault of western industrialised nations ….. and definitely not the fault of China, India, Brazil, Indonesia (deforestation) so they get a “free pass.”

Meanwhile, the UN has admitted that it is all about redistribution of wealth.

Reason alone to never vote for her.

Reform keeps my vote.
It’s not that I don’t trust the Conservatives.
I do,
With a few noble exceptions, I trust them to oversell, undermine, break their word, misrepresent.
Time for change.
But with that said, it’s obvious they will win certain seats, Reform will win others. In our first past the post system Farage and Badenoch must collaborate against Labour to beat them.
I hope and pray they both place country before party.
Time will tell.

I voted for her. I am delighted that she won. She gives me hope…. not much else does. The miserable, twisted comments of some people posting here make me sick. Pathetic negativity. What happened to giving a person a fair chance and making decisions on the outcomes.

I think we have given the whole rotting edifice, of democratic representation, endless, too many, chances. We keep madly doing the same thing and we keep, surprise surprise, getting the same result. We don’t need to vote differently or pray for a saviour, we need to end the indoctrinated cult belief in the legitimacy and the utility of ‘the state’ now and for ever. It’s a busted flush.

I let ChatGPT have a ponder on our illustrious new leader in opposition, the was the final result: Let’s refine the mystical interpretation of Kemi Badenoch’s name by incorporating the connections to the ancient name of Egypt and the duality of the term “Bad Enoch.” Refined Mystical Interpretation of Kemi Badenoch’s Name 1. Kemi – Connection to Ancient Egypt: • The name Kemi not only signifies “one who is cared for by God” in Yoruba but also resonates with Kemet, the ancient name for Egypt, meaning “the Black Land.” This connection evokes a rich history of civilization, wisdom, and mystical knowledge. In an occult context, this could suggest that Kemi embodies the legacy of ancient wisdom and leadership, positioning her as a figure who carries the weight of historical significance and profound cultural heritage. This alignment may imply that her leadership draws upon deep-rooted traditions of governance, spirituality, and enlightenment. 2. Badenoch – Symbol of Resilience and Authority: • The surname Badenoch, linked to a Scottish region, implies strength and resilience. This association can represent her role as a guardian of values and traditions. The symbolism of a bad or strong wall further supports the interpretation of her as a… Read more »

Real Name Olukemi Olufunto Adegoke, so your whole “analysis” is meaningless.

Far from it; that her name was consciously selected adds grist to the mill. And it’s not ‘my’ analysis, (though it obviously was guided by my prompts).
