”I got into politics because I hated identity politics, and I could see the state was building a hierarchy of groups. I wanted to fix that.”
Britain is broken, and Kemi is visibly passionate about reversing its fortunes. It’s not just identity politics rotting out our future: the demoralisation of young people, our self-loathing epidemic, and our obsession with declinism have each played a role in muddying the country’s view of its own future. Things need to change; as Kemi says, “we’ve got to get our mojo back.”
”Our party made a lot of mistakes, but we’re under new leadership now. [The whole time], I was fighting all those things people hated … I can see what went wrong and why.”
