Robert Jenrick Calls for Gratitude, Kemi Badenoch Defends Against Rudeness Accusations
Conservative Party leadership candidate Robert Jenrick stirred controversy by suggesting that ex-British colonies should be grateful for the Empire's legacy, stating that they owe a "debt of gratitude" to the UK for introducing legal institutions and democracy. Meanwhile, his rival and race frontrunner Kemi Badenoch defended herself against accusations of rudeness, admitting that she is not perfect.
Jenrick argued that former colonies should appreciate the positive impacts of the Empire, breaking the chain of violent tyranny and introducing Christian values, despite the complex realities of colonialism. On the other hand, Badenoch responded to critics by stating that she never acts out of malice and acknowledges her imperfections, emphasizing the need to accept both positives and negatives in individuals.
As the Conservative leadership race nears its end, with just four days left for party members to vote, the clash between Jenrick and Badenoch highlights differing perspectives on the UK's colonial history and personal conduct in politics.
