All hail the Kult of Kemi – captain, coach and owner of the Conservatives
The Tory leader is now too big for the party to allow her to fail, so everything she does is acclaimed a work of genius
TL;DR
- The Conservative party's strategy appears to revolve entirely around Kemi Badenoch, who refers to herself as the party's captain, coach, and owner.
- This singular focus on Badenoch creates a high-risk situation where the party cannot afford for her to fail, leading to uncritical praise of her every move.
- The article criticizes Badenoch's speech for being too long, unfocused, and lacking substance, despite being considered the best of a poor conference.
- A key policy revealed was an inheritance tax cut, funded by unspecified welfare cuts, which is seen as a benefit for the wealthy.
- The proceedings at the conference were marked by low attendance, a lack of notable figures, and a sense of fragile unity within the party.
