A rising star among young Tories, Kemi Badenoch has made a name on the Tory Right as an aggressive culture warrior by stoking controversy on race and trans rights. But she’s a mystery too, an ambitious player with powerful sponsors. How did Badenoch’s Nigerian childhood, her time in banking, and her early days in the Tory Party shape her? And where is Kemi Badenoch going next?
Michael Crick talks to Tory insiders – peers Stephen Greenhalgh and Tony Sewell and backbencher Danny Kruger – about the irresistible rise of a woman who relishes a fight.
Written and presented by Michael Crick. Produced by Neil Fearn. Audio production by Alex Rees. Music by Jade Bailey. Group Editor: Andrew Harrison. Mugshots is a Podmasters Production.
