Ever since her unsuccessful but impressive run for the leadership last summer, Ms Badenoch has sought to balance her priorities
has made a striking play for the Tory grassroots with a party conference speech where she hit out at anti-Brexit campaigners, the trans rights movement and supporters of “critical race theory”.in a bid to show she is not trying to undermine the current Conservative leader even as she positions herself to be the next one.
She raised hackles among some Brexiteer MPs by watering down legislation designed to strip out all EU rules from Britain’s legal system. This continued in her conference speech, where Ms Badenoch said: “We have in Rishi Sunak a Prime Minister who is making decisions for the long term interest of our country, even when he gets flak for it… He has the intellect and work ethic to steer us through whatever comes next, to tell the country what it needs to hear, not just what it wants to hear.”
Ms Badenoch finally put herself firmly on the side of those who believe that the transgender rights movement threatens the safety of women, saying: “The left accuses us of fighting a culture war. But we will not apologise for fighting for common sense.
