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.
