Badenoch is on BBC News standing in front of an armoured vehicle (she's not sitting in a tank yet, but give her time).
When told that the majority of Britons don't want to be involved in this war, she said that we would be if we understood what it meant.
She's happy to have a conversation with the PM, obviously he's too stupid too.
Only she has the intellect required to want to bomb people.

She's far and away the best politician in parliament but her party is still a joke

Loopylalalou · 06/03/2026 14:48

La la la la… you’re all deluded by thinking that the one thing to worry about is a woman who’s a Tory. A woman being dragged by a site mainly populated by women. Tsk tsk.
Fiddle whilst we burn - or is that truly a displacement of real worries about the future? Nah, I think I know the truth.

Of course I have seen the news about the Iranian spies. It is not a reason to enter into a war with Iran, though.

I am not sure you are right about there being no outcry about the murder of Jewish people in the UK. There was much condemnation about the Heaton Park synagogue terrorist attack, for example.

Edited

The Heaton park attack also led to a rise in hate crime against Jews. Not much reported on, that.

Nor was there much reporting on the recent planned attack by Manchester Muslims, only stopped due to a police insider, using military grade weapons that fire 180 shots without needing to reload, on a March Against Anti-Semitism and then planned to go to the Jewish areas of Manchester, where they have scoped out Jewish nurseries, schools, shops and synagogues, to murder more Jews -man, woman and child. The planned attackers stated that any Christians murdered would be a bonus, but Jews were the true focus.

Within that context the recently elected Manchester Green MP did not remind people in her victory speech that Jews are human, but reminded them that Muslims are. Which is of course true, but when did you last hear after racist atrocity, the local MP reminded people of the humanity of the community the racists are coming from, rather than their victims? And no-one has ever condemned her for this.

Where is the government, local and national campaign, to combat rising anti-Semitism? What are universities doing about it? What are the anti- racist organisations doing about it? Nowhere and nothing. There was no action over the rising hatred since Oct 7th 2023 and there has been next to nothing even now its reached the level of mass murder attempts. No one will even name it for what it is - Islamist racist-religious hatred of Jews. We'd name white supremacist hatred of Jews for what is it - but Islamist supremacist hatred of Jews we are not even naming as such.

Its all a national disgrace.

Funny line from Marina Hyde today that KB is behaving like a teen whose mates decided to get together and bomb an ayatollah without her.

Every time I think Kemi Badenoch is growing into the job a bit, a week later she does something that seems impetuous and hasty. She's not a credible leader.

Can't we say no now and build up our defences? We are not under any direct threat at the moment.

That’s the point, it’s risky to say no while you are very, very vulnerable. And we aren’t moving with alacrity to remedy that vulnerability either.

I know there has been a rise in anti-semitism and it is deplorable. I do think it is brushed under the carpet by some. Which is also deplorable.

There was widespread coverage of the convictions of the men who were planning an attack on Jewish people. Two got life sentences.

But none of that justifies a war with Iran IMHO. Innocent people, including children, have already been killed.

In every way imaginable

She didn’t call the electorate stupid. Those are words you put in her mouth.

sittingonabeach · 06/03/2026 15:12

If our defence personnel are limited could there be a form of conscription (I know other European countries have talked about something similar). Are posters who think KB is right and have young adult DC, would you be happy for them to be called up?

LeftBoobGoneRogue · 06/03/2026 15:15

Pollqueen · 06/03/2026 11:54

I agree with Kemi

What is the justification for the war (it keep changing) and what is the plan after? Is it legal? Has the UN or Congress signed this off? NO.
Trump is just following Netanyahu attacking. Netanyahu is now effectively the ‘Leader of the Free World’ and Trump is his poodle.

I think happy is the wrong word. Prepared is better.

Unnecessary war that will hit world wide economies hard and all to appease Trump. Spain has the right idea. Stand up to Trump!

This!

Hi Kemi

ChrisMartinsKisskam · 06/03/2026 15:38

PandoraSocks · 06/03/2026 12:39

There’s more than the blatantly apparent going on, obviously not understood by many

Could you explain a bit more on this, so we can understand better?

Trump wanted Venezuela not only because of Marudo but because china & Russia was / starting to help them and trying to get a base there through the oil
Venezuela has the best oil in the world
And they were trying to get them to help them extract the oil
then you have Russia / China very close to USA

same with Iran
Iran sell pretty much most of their oil to china
This gives china a foothold in the Middle East

Cuba - Trump is basically starving them out
he told Venezuela if they sent them any oil
he wouldn’t be happy 😂
Venezuela used to send Cuba a tanker of oil every week
cuba is basically starving
Russia always had an interest in Cuba going back to the Cold War and they asked Russia for help and they can’t because they are at war

what’s the common links - China Russia

Yes, the British public who vote.

I mean, we had a shit Tory government which trashed the country for 14 years and we voted for the monumental act of self harm when we opted for Brexit, so it's pretty hard to construct a case that the British electorate are actually well informed and understand what they're voting for.

I mean, it's somewhat ironic that KB decides to highlight the ignorance of much of the electorate now when the majority of people happen to disagree with her, and I've no doubt that she will consider the electorate to be wise all-knowing as soon as she has any inkling that public opinion seems to be backing her up.

The reality is, the majority of the electorate won't know much about the complexities of the ME, any more than they understand economics or many of the other things that they might be asked for opinions on. And the majority won't be that bothered about trying to learn either.

Edited

Ahh, so we are ignorant but only when we are voting against her interest. Got it. Or maybe, we know what we know, and we know enough to make up our own minds.

You can bet your ass, if Starmer had decided to support Trump in his illegal war, Badenoch would be invoking Tony Blair and Iraq. I also wonder how happy she will be to welcome anyone seeking asylum from Iran. The only thing you can count on with Badenoch is, she will oppose whatever the Government does, no matter what.

ChardonnaysBeastlyCat · 06/03/2026 16:26

BIossomtoes · 06/03/2026 12:10

Which is exactly what she was addressing.

sittingonabeach · 06/03/2026 16:52

Until we know what Trump’s final plan is, how involved should we be?

Thedogscollar · 06/03/2026 17:06

James O'Brien described her to a tee today.
The fool who thinks she's a genius.

She's been put in place by the Tories to take the flack for the shitshow of 14 years we endured under their rule. They will get rid when somebody better comes along.

Keir Starmer is playing this exactly as any sane PM would. He is looking at the bigger picture and the legality of what has taken place. Kemi Badenoch is a loose cannon and we have enough of them with Trump and Netinyahu.

Sherbs12 · 06/03/2026 17:13

It was painful to watch - and apparently, there are a fair few of her backbenchers who also disagree with her. Her approach at PMQS this week was really misjudged for leader of the opposition, given the circumstances. The Tories had a disastrous by-election last week - so few votes they lost their deposit (first time since 1962). Posters will be along shortly to explain to us why we’re wrong, the polls, etc.

You think we should follow the US into a deranged and illegal war? To what end? That's what she (and Farage) are advocating.

Her and Farage would be the first to complain about the Iranian refugees coming to UK but hey its OK to bomb the hell out of their country but don't come looking for help here.

Some of these comments are deluded. Oh but the British public don't want it..except we call them stupid when they voted for brexit.

Oh play the ball not the person..unless it's someone like farage.

I see you
