And does she think that self-identifying changes things?
I’d be really curious to know her answer to that!

I don’t think this is the positive she thinks it is. All it does is show her to be a changeable person who will move on from a community when she gets a better offer. In 5 years time will she be saying “I never really felt British”?
So she’s in support of changing how you identify? Interesting.
She identifies as an old white Tory man from Eton that’s for sure.
Just think how mad she will be when Scottish people call her English
She now identifies as an incompetent, out-of-touch, soon-to-be ousted leader of a dying party…we should support her
She said her early experiences in Nigeria shaped her political outlook, including “why I don’t like socialism”.
Nigeria, a country which was served by former military rulers when she was younger and has never really had any left leaning ideations. Ok Kemi.
What changed in the last few months?
>“Being **Yoruba** is my true identity, and I refuse to be lumped up with northern people of Nigeria, who ‘were our **ethnic enemies**’ all in the name of being called a Nigerian”

Nobody cares. And if they do, they were never going to vote for her anyway
Does something someone identifies as make them that thing?
She really has written the ‘I identify as an attack helicopter’ jokes for everyone, huh?
That’s because she now identifies as a giant C….
ahem.
Well considering what Sunak posted on Twitter yesterday… don’t think the right wingers will be very happy to hear this.
So she’s identifying as something she wasn’t born as. Would it be ironic if she wanted to be accepted as this way while at the same time using another set of people who want to identify as something else as a punching bag to attract the hard right… but she wouldn’t do that would she?
A minority’s guide to courting fascists:
1. Publically denounce your minority status as much as possible.
2. Acquire the elusive “one of the good ones” status.
3. Realise the status is as solid and useful as a paper mache dildo in a downpour.
4. Suddenly turn to everyone else for solidarity and support when your usefulness is spent.
She is literally trying to be the house slave 😂
The reason she is doing this is because she knows there is a huge far right racist element in the Conservative and Reform parties. She knows this. Instead of combating that, she is bowing down to them, hoping they will accept her and her leadership.
Sorry Kemi, they will never accept you. You are a means to an end, nothing more.
I don’t mean to be rude, I truly don’t, but she often comes across as quite confused.
If only anyone who decides to identify as something else other than what they were born as could do that without fear of ridicule or reprisal
You can identify as a brick if you really want, but it isn’t factual or a truth.
Very common in the trans community. She is taking British hormones.
Is she just learning that all the bollocks she’s been saying for years now to appease the far right also applies to her?
I literally cannot fathom how dense this woman seems to be
Of course she is British and of course she is of Nigerian descent. SHE is the one trying to push the idea that these are somehow mutually exclusive
One thing with Kemi I find odd is her very RP southern English accent for someone who grew up in Nigeria and the US until she was around 16 years old. I would say these are formative years in terms of speech and accent. It surely isn’t genuine, and clearly an affectation to make her fit in with the conservatives she’s surrounded with in her work. I have no doubt accents can change over time and with environment but I don’t think she’s really being true to herself.
I actually keep forgetting she’s the leader of the Tory’s . Honestly she’s so forgettable.
I bet Nigerians aren’t too bothered that this scum doesn’t claim to be part of them anymore.
Sorry, the law now says you cannot identify as anything other than how you were born because it might upset other people in public toilets. Thanks for pushing that through Kemi.
The staple Tory voter is not going to vote for her and the Tory party. They will vote Reform as their leader is not her. They didn’t vote for Sunak either as the core of the Tory party are racists. She will be backtracking within ten years trying to undo all her ills to her background.
I’m so glad that she’s open to the idea of people identifying differently to what they were born as

I’m holding out for her to no longer identify as a politician!
and who she’s preaching to don’t think she’s british. now what?
I’m a second gen immigrant. It’s a bit of a hard pill to swallow but most of us, by the time we’re twelve or thirteen, come to the conclusion that no matter how many pieces of yourself you cut away, the very specific demographic that Badenoch is pandering to by saying things like this will never, ever accept you.
Truthfully it’s just a bit sad to watch. She’s surrounded by die-hard nationalists and there’s nothing she can do to be fully accepted by them, ever. I strongly disliked Rishi Sunak but we can’t say he was any worse than any of his predecessors, and yet he was placed under far more scrutiny for reasons we all know why.
We’re shaped by our experiences, and being British doesn’t make you *not* anything else. The lovely part of being British is how many of us are something else, too. It’s truthfully just a bit sad to watch.
