Kemi Badenoch Criticizes SNP's Self-ID Policy

Kemi Badenoch, a frontrunner in the Conservative Party leadership race, has criticized the Scottish Government's self-identification policy for gender, claiming it endangers women and muddles the law, particularly in her remarks regarding Rape Crisis Scotland. She has pledged to take a more robust approach against the SNP, distinguishing between the party and the people of Scotland, arguing that the SNP has failed to address critical issues like health and education while focusing on independence. Badenoch's campaign is endorsed by Sir Geoffrey Cox, who praised her 'fearless' stance against 'woke' culture and her potential to revitalize the Conservative Party. Meanwhile, her rival Robert Jenrick has accused her of making destructive attacks that could harm the party. As the leadership contest approaches its conclusion, Badenoch also discussed controversial topics, including policing and the UK's relationship with the European Court of Human Rights. The results of the Tory leadership vote are expected to be announced soon, with significant implications for the party's direction.
