Kemi Badenoch spoke on the first day of a conference bringing together hard right, far right and fascist figures with an overarching focus of right-wing Christianity similar to Trump’s US base on Monday
Badenoch managed to echo both Trump and Liz Truss with her latest culture wars list:
DEI
Net Zero & climate activism
Pronouns
Taking the Knee
On Tuesday Farage was interviewed by Stephen Yaxley Lennon enthusiast and far right ‘thinker’ Jordan Peterson. Farage claimed that despite Badenock’s Culture Wars, the Tories are not right wing.
Clearly the great moving ever rightwards show goes on (Farage) rejected Peterson’s assertion that the right was split in the UK, because, Farage said, “the Conservative party is not on the right in any measurable way.” (Guardian 18th February)
As a reminder of which way the official political wind is blowing, The Times (Editorial 18th February) called the gathering of hard right, far right and fascist individuals ‘a major political conference’
