Kemi Badenoch Unleashed: Tory Firebrand Declares War on ‘Broken Britain’—and Asks the Nation to Trust Conservatives Again

By Tracyann Dunkley | Politics Watch

Kemi Badenoch didn’t just speak—she detonated. At the Conservative Party Conference in Manchester, the Tory leader delivered a blistering takedown of Britain’s political landscape, branding Labour “directionless” and Sir Keir Starmer “an utterly useless, weak Prime Minister.” 

With Reform UK surging and the polls in chaos, Badenoch came armed with a manifesto she insists is more than slogans. Unveiling a radical Conservative blueprint to reclaim Britain from what she called a "doom loop" of higher taxes, weaker borders and months after months of chaos.

Her speech was a full-throttle rejection of the status quo. She pledged to abolish stamp duty on all home sales—a seismic shift in property tax policy aimed at reviving a stagnant housing market She vowed to withdraw Britain from the European Convention on Human Rights, scrap the Human Rights Act, and ban doctors from striking, arguing that the NHS has been held hostage by industrial action.

Welfare was another target: Badenoch lambasted the 6.5 million working-age adults claiming benefits, promising to end what she called “being paid to sit at home all day.” She drew sharp lines around eligibility, controversially stating that Motability cars are “not for people with ADHD”

But critics were quick to pounce. After 14 years of Conservative rule, Badenoch’s fiery rhetoric raised eyebrows. Can the party that presided over Britain’s decline now claim to be its saviour? Social media lit up with accusations of hypocrisy, with many pointing out that the potholes, GP delays, and economic stagnation she condemned were symptoms of her own party’s legacy  Her speech, while galvanising to the Tory faithful, left others asking: is this bold new vision or political amnesia?

With the next general election set for Thursday, 2 May 2026, the battle lines are drawn. Badenoch’s message is clear: Britain must choose between more debt and decay or a Conservative revival rooted in discipline, borders, and British values. But in a political climate where every party seems to promise change while clinging to power, the real question is—will voters buy it? Or has the trust deficit grown too deep to repair?
