I never expected Tory MPs to be horrible, outdated bigots. By Kemi Badenoch 18th October 2024 SO fellow Tory MP Christopher Chope thinks I can’t be party leader because I have children? Frankly I am shocked to hear outdated, bigoted attitudes from a member of the Conservative Party. My position is clear: I am fully supportive of the hateful views of Tory MPs, but not when they apply to me.

This is not ‘hypocrisy’ or ‘double-standards’. It is jaw-dropping stupidity, because I am surprisingly thick. I joined the Tory party out of naked self-interest – to advance my career, feel important and because I have a high opinion of myself not supported by the evidence.



I don’t expect to face sexism, even when I’m encouraging the public to believe women on maternity leave are freeloading skivers. Moreover, the Tory party of the 21st century is inclusive, welcoming everyone except benefits subhumans, Marxist teachers, eco-zealot druggies, transgender cat-people, arrogant doctors, fat nurses, teenagers, renters, Doctor Who, union troublemakers, ‘disabled’ malingerers, Europeans, privileged autistic people, Muslims, cyclists and Muslims again for good measure. Racism is not a problem in our party – none of our members are retired bigots obsessed with golliwogs – and the only prejudice I have faced is from the woke mob.

They think it’s acceptable to call me an ‘idiot’ on Twitter, which I have no hesitation in describing as the worst racism since slavery, because I really do lack any awareness of how stupid I sound. Even so, people say: ‘How can you be a Tory when they’re known for being sexist, racist and homophobic?’ The answer is simple: the only thing I genuinely care about is my own career, so if the Tories decided women should have the legal status of pets, I’d be 100 per cent behind it so long as I could be in charge. What I don’t understand is why people keep sending me memes about the ‘Leopards Eating People’s Faces Party’.

We’re not called the Leopards Eating People’s Faces Party. We’re called the Conservative Party. I don’t get it at all.
