VIDEO INTERVIEW | Skerlev: Cammy Badenoch will bring a lot of excitement to British politics
From the right political wing of the Conservative Party in Britain, the first legal immigrant who will fight against immigration in the country, with similar views as Donald Trump, is the new leader of the Conservative Party in Great Britain, Cammy Badenoch. By some coincidence, like Trump, she also worked at McDonald's, which fried potatoes in the sandwich shop during the campaign. She replaces Rishi Sunak and thus this woman makes history in British politics as she is the first black woman to become the leader of one of the largest parties in the country.
After she was officially appointed as the first person of the party, she promised to reprogram Britain as a country, to make it a different country under her leadership. Her statements are quite similar to the statements we heard earlier in the American election campaign from Trump, notes journalist Jeanetta Skerlev, a correspondent for Free Press from London. From Skerlev we learn who Kemi Badenoch is.
- Kemi Badenoch was born in 1980 in London, in the hospital "St. Theresa" in Wimbledon, of Nigerian parents, mother a professor, father a doctor in general practice. Her parents lived and worked in Nigeria and were middle class, growing up her mother had her own driver and nanny. They easily moved to London and because she gave birth to Kemi, she automatically received British citizenship. She is the fourth woman at the helm of the conservatives, before her were Margaret Thatcher, Theresa May, and for a short time Lee Strauss - says Skerlev.
According to our interlocutor, politics in Great Britain is getting a woman who will bring great excitement in the future.
- At parliamentary questions, he "attacked" Prime Minister Keir Starmer for his policy. The Conservative Party is getting a leader who, they say, knows politics, who speaks first and then asks others what they think and how they think, unlike her rival Robert Jenrick, who would first listen to everyone in the room and then say what does he think Her followers have already printed T-shirts with the slogan "Be more Kemi!" in order to support her for not having "hair on the tongue". She promises big changes and advocates that she feels a responsibility to fix the crisis in which the western country is - Skerlev explains.
