MYSTERIOUS: Inside this week s london standard 0547ca8c 56b7 484a b7bb ff015b86e450 - You Need To See This

Hi everyone. On our cover this week is Tory leader Kemi Badenoch. A lot of people don’t like Kemi, but I admire her. Any black woman who grew up in Nigeria in an era of severe economic instability, with no running water or electricity, sometimes taking her own chair to school, who makes it to the top of a political party is to be applauded. I like how forthright and plain-speaking she is.

Dylan Jones, who interviews her, doesn’t think she’ll make it to the next election. He might be right, but I don’t think she should be underestimated.
