Yes - I think Kemi is brilliant. Head and shoulders above the rest.

Yes.. I hope she will get better and better as the next 3 years drag on painfully, with this shit show in power.

Yet when in Govt, she did nothing to limit the pro Palestinian marches.

Show quote history

She was Secretary of State for International Trade then Minister for Women and Equalities.

What did you expect her to do?

Upstartled · 11/05/2026 22:16

She regularly criticised the met for their policing of these marches and she supported the government's move to redefine extremism to bar the groups mobilising these protests. And she criticised the BBC for their framing of the marches and how it was fuelling antisemitism. It's not like she was home secretary, there was a limit to what she could achieve in her government roles.

Antisemitic hate crimes have escalated since then though - all serious politicians are starting to realise it’s time to take a stand against the marches as they appear to be flaming anti Jewish sentiment in the UK.

I like the way Kemi has stood up for the Jewish community and called out the antisemitic behaviour on the Pro Palestinian marchers .

Good to see finally thousands gathering for a protest against antisemitism, in London yesterday. About time.

Did they? That is good!

I like Kemi. She certainly seems to be the most sensible of all the party leaders at the moment.

Yes absolutely. Quite a stark difference really!

The march hasn't happened yet but neo nazi groups support it.

And it is not about what is 'worse'

I condemn all racism, antisemitism and islamaphobia, don't you?

Show quote history

So you’re accusing him of organising a march that shows anti semitism but it hasn’t actually happened yet. Ok.

What do you mean by Islamophobia? I’m afraid I can’t condemn criticism of some Islamic practices if you are taking the Labour Party definition. It’s a bit odd that you would.

Smeuse · 10/05/2026 10:47

CornishDaughteroftheDawn · 10/05/2026 09:40

Can you provide evidence of this anti semitism on the march please. And what has he said that is worse than a growing selection of Green candidates/councillors?

Also which Tommy Robinson march are you talking about? The only one I can see near today timewise hasn’t happened yet.

Shame Badenoch does not have the same strong words about the Tommy Robinson march

Plenty of anitsemitsm on show there too.

We should condemn both antisemitism and anti Muslim sentiments, neither should be tolerated.

Yes, she has strong moral principles which Labour and the Greens are lacking.

I think with time she will attract other sane, democracy upholding, high quality colleagues to reinvigorate the Conservatives.

It’s interesting how angry the ‘anti Kemi’s’ in this thread are and how little they have as actual criticism of her.

Isn’t this thread about Badenoch? So sad that her fans can’t even focus on her on a thread with her name in the title it’s that bad.

Muslims suffer the most hate crime.

Badenoch strongly supported sending asylum seekers to Rwanda which was not only vile but useless and a big waste of money.

She has no policies and contributed handsomely to the chronic ineptitude of the Tories this country had to suffer for 14 years. When the Tories sink even lower tomorrow I sincerely hope they get rid of her asap.

No - Muslims do not suffer the most hate crime.
All the statistics show that Jews are 8 times more likely than Muslims to be a victim of hate crime

I answered your question on Greens by not mentioning them? Er ok.

I just did comment on them, your party leader is ensuring they get more votes. Decide whether to change him to avoid that.

As for amusement, that’s all for those who dislike Labour today. The angry Labour lot are on here posting as you are.

I am not even a Labour supporter, so that's funny.

Starmer is PM to all of us.

Luckily the majority of people I know won't vote Reform, all different political leanimgs, all decent people.

I am just amused on how you decline to comment on Reform.

Would you mind the Tories merging with Reform?

You seem focussed on them to the exclusion of all the other stuff going on. Remember Starmer sold himself to his party as the one person who could stop Reform getting into power.

It turns out he has the reverse Midas touch on this so they’ll have to decide whether to stick or twist.

As said I’m pleased London has changed, Greens were the only party who turned up to canvass here. They put in the time and deserve the success.

I’m also pleased Labour lost in Wales and Scotland and that includes to the SNP and PC. I don’t think the former do well on education etc but that’s for those voters to decide on. Lib Dems picked up votes too. Generally whoever it is who led to those losses for Labour, fine.
