    Kemi Badenoch – 2026 Comments on Sir John Major

    The comments made by Kemi Badenoch, the Leader of the Opposition, on 28 June 2026.

    Sir John Major makes the essential point. Parents who send children to private school save the state money.

    Labour’s tax on them has failed. Now the state has 2,000 fewer teachers than when Conservatives left office.

    So we will reverse this futile, vindictive policy.

    Kemi Badenoch – 2026 Comments on Labour Leadership Crisis

    The comments made by Kemi Badenoch, the Leader of the Opposition, on 22 June 2026.

    The country is not being governed and Labour say there won’t be a Prime Minister till September.

    Keir Starmer is off on a farewell tour and Andy Burnham wants a summer holiday. Neither is thinking about our national security.

    We need to cut welfare and fund our military.

    Kemi Badenoch – 2026 Comments on Edinburgh Attack

    The comments made by Kemi Badenoch, the Leader of the Opposition, on 21 June 2026.

    People should be free to worship, work and walk our streets without fear. The attack in Edinburgh is disturbing. Violence in our streets is bad enough but reports indicate some of the victims were targeted because they were Muslim. This is abhorrent.

    I am glad police acted swiftly. The victims and their families deserve justice, and the public must have confidence that the law applies equally to everyone.

    Kemi Badenoch – 2026 Comments on the Culling of Dartmoor Ponies

    The comments made by Kemi Badenoch, the Leader of the Opposition, on 16 June 2026.

    This is total madness from another unaccountable quango. The government must overrule Natural England and stop it immediately.

    Keir Starmer is on his way to making his last acts in office the shameful underfunding of our military and the mass slaughter of Dartmoor ponies.

    Kemi Badenoch – 2026 Comments on Russian Attack on Keir Starmer

    The comments made by Kemi Badenoch, the Leader of the Opposition, on 15 June 2026.

    Keir Starmer and I disagree on many things, but good people across the political spectrum will welcome today’s verdicts, condemn these appalling attacks which seem to have been sponsored by Russia, and wish the PM and his family well.

    Whatever our political differences, no one should face intimidation, threats or attacks because they hold public office.

    Democracy is settled at the ballot box, not through fear or violence and definitely not through foreign interference from hostile countries.

    Kemi Badenoch – 2026 Comments on Banning Social Media for Children

    The comments made by Kemi Badenoch, the Leader of the Opposition, on 15 June 2026.

    It is fantastic news that the Government has finally woken up to the dangers of social media for young people. This is an important step in helping parents protect childhood for children.

    Huge credit goes to Laura Trott and my Shadow Cabinet for relentlessly fighting for this. Conservatives welcome this latest Labour U-turn, and will continue to work for the best implementation of the policy.

    Kemi Badenoch – 2026 Comments on Filton Four

    The comments made by Kemi Badenoch, the Leader of the Conservative Party, on 13 June 2026.

    These thugs fractured the spine of Sgt Kate Evans, who spoke in court of the medical and emotional trauma she still lives with.

    Prison is where they belong.

    Unlike Zack Polanski, I want serious consequences for anyone who attacks police officers risking their lives to protect us.

  • Kemi Badenoch – 2026 Comments on the Makeup of Labour MPs

    Kemi Badenoch – 2026 Comments on the Makeup of Labour MPs

    The comments made by Kemi Badenoch, the Leader of the Opposition, on 31 May 2026.

    Incredibly, 90% of the new Labour MPs at the last election came from a trade union, charity or public-sector background. Barely 1/5th of the Cabinet has any private-sector experience. In the Shadow Cabinet, 3/4 of us do. That distinction matters.

    The skills Labour MPs have acquired are in lobbying for more funding, campaigning for more benefits or more red tape. Britain needs a new generation of politician.

    Only the Conservative Party can build a team for the economic war effort required after Burnham/Starmer have finished this catastrophic experiment. We will need to fix every aspect of our system at once. There will be no kicking decisions into the long grass, only rolling our sleeves up and getting to work.

    If you’ve ever thought about a career in politics but decided it was too risky or you wouldn’t fit in, now is your time.…We are looking for people from every walk of life who know how to get stuff done.

    In return, I will make politics work for you.

    Britain does not lack talent. It lacks a system that draws that talent into public life. Join my team and help us get Britain working again.

    Kemi Badenoch – 2026 Comments on Doctor Strikes

    The comments made by Kemi Badenoch on 28 May 2026.

    If the Conservatives were in power, these strikes simply wouldn’t be happening.

    That’s because we’ll add doctors to the list of professions banned from striking. Just like police officers and members of the Armed Forces.

    Our health should never be held ransom by unions.

    Kemi Badenoch – 2026 Comments on Drilling Oil

    The comments made by Kemi Badenoch, the Leader of the Opposition, on 28 May 2026.

    Ed Miliband’s ideological shut-down of Scotland’s North Sea Oil & Gas Industry is going to hand Vladimir Putin £1 billion in oil revenue. Our own oil is right there, under the North Sea. All we need to do is drill it. Only the Conservatives will get Britain drilling.
