  • The Conservative Party leader has a mountain to climb and both Nigel Farage and Sir Keir Starmer will be on-hand to remind her exactly why that is.

The article discusses Kemi Badenoch, the UK's Business and Trade Secretary, and her potential vulnerability that could be exploited by Nigel Farage, a prominent Brexit advocate. Badenoch, who has been a rising star in the Conservative Party, particularly among its right-wing faction, has faced criticism for her handling of Brexit-related issues, notably the Retained EU Law Bill, which aimed to remove EU laws from UK legislation but was significantly watered down. Her approach to Brexit has been seen as lacking the hardline stance that some Brexit supporters, like Farage, demand. Farage, known for his influence over Brexit voters, could use this perceived weakness to undermine Badenoch's credibility among Conservative voters, especially if he decides to re-enter frontline politics. This situation could pose a significant challenge for Badenoch as she navigates her political career, particularly with the looming possibility of a leadership contest within the Conservative Party.
