Farage is wrong on McDonald’s – Kemi Badenoch's leadership pitch

There are four remaining candidates hoping to become the next leader of the Conservative party. Kemi Badenoch is the Conservative MP for North West Essex previously serving as the Secretary of State for Business and Trade in the last government. In 2021, she was promoted to the role of Minister for Equalities, where she championed various initiatives aimed at promoting fairness and inclusion across society. Kemi speaks to The Spectator's political editor Katy Balls about why the party wasn't ready for a general election, how she proposes to tackle issues like net zero, free speech and immigration and why the smoking ban was the least Conservative policy of the past 14 years. // SUBSCRIBE TO THE SPECTATOR Get 12 issues for £12, plus a free £20 John Lewis/Waitrose voucher www.spectator.co.uk/tvoffer // FREE PODCASTS FROM THE SPECTATOR Hear more from The Spectator's journalists on their podcasts, covering everything from the politics of the UK, US and China, to religion, literature, lifestyle and more. www.spectator.co.uk/podcasts/ // FOLLOW US www.twitter.com/spectator www.facebook.com/OfficialSpectator www.linkedin.com/company/the-spectator www.instagram.com/spectator1828 www.tiktok.com/@thespectatormagazine
