Kemi Badenoch wins UK conservative party leadership

The UK Conservative party has a new leader – and she is a staunch women’s sex-based rights supporter.

"Anti-woke" candidate Kemi Badenoch on Saturday, November 2, won the vote to become the UK Conservatives' new leader, replacing Rishi Sunak who quit after the party's disastrous showing in July's general election.

Badenoch, 44, came out on top in the two-horse race with former immigration minister Robert Jenrick, winning 57% of the votes of party members.

She said that becoming party leader was an "enormous honour," but that "the task that stands before us is tough." "We have to be honest about the fact we made mistakes" and "let standards slip," she said. "It is time to get down to business, it is time to renew," she added.

Badenoch has reportedly said there is no such thing as a transgender child and prefers to use the terminology “gender-questioning.” 

How far Badenoch will be able to go in righting the wrongs of gender ideology in the UK is yet to be seen but it is a great start that she won the leadership with a clear majority.

She now gets to face off against the Prime Minister during question time in parliament.
