Kemi Badenoch, Tory leader, has made a strong declaration that migrants unwilling to integrate into British culture should consider leaving the country. Her statement came during her first major speech of the year, where she also vowed to reduce immigration and restore voter trust.
“We simply cannot take all the millions of people who want to come here from elsewhere. Our country is our home, it is not a hotel. If people arriving don’t want to integrate into British culture, they shouldn’t be here,” Badenoch asserted.
In her speech, Badenoch emphasized the Conservative Party’s commitment to addressing issues such as Brexit, immigration, and net-zero policies, noting that the party would adopt a more direct approach while learning from past mistakes.
She also dismissed any speculation of a potential merger between the Conservative Party and Reform UK.
“Nigel Farage says he wants to destroy the Conservative Party. Why on earth would we merge with that?” she said, addressing rumors of collaboration.
In response, Nigel Farage took to X (formerly Twitter) to mock Badenoch’s speech, highlighting that only 21 people were watching her speech on Facebook and that the YouTube stream had crashed.
“It’s a good job she understands the digital age,” Farage remarked.
