Conservative Leadership Profile: Kemi Badenoch
This is a bonus episode profiling one of the final two candidates in the Conservative leadership election, Kemi Badenoch. Adam and Alex speak to Fraser Nelson, former editor of The Spectator, who has known Kemi Badenoch for years since they were colleagues at The Spectator. They find out how her childhood in Nigeria and moving to the UK aged 16 influenced her political views, why she’s unafraid of courting controversy and what her pitch to Conservative members is.
