Kemi Badenoch's first policy proposal, aimed at making it harder for migrants to become British citizens, is criticized as a desperate attempt to gain media attention. The author argues that Badenoch's proposal is more about political pandering than addressing the challenges faced by migrants in the UK.
Kemi Badenoch ’s first policy proposal - that would make it harder for migrants to become British citizens - is a clear sign that the Tory leader is desperate. Badenoch ’s leadership is failing and she is clearly panicked by Reform. But instead of setting out a policy agenda to better the lives of British people, she has opted for yet another dogwhistle.Let’s be clear, it's not easy being a migrant with temporary status in this country.
Badenoch’s proposal is more about making herself heard in a media ecosystem that considers any anti-migrant statement newsworthy, than it is about fixing this obviously broken system. But despite her pressing the right button to be granted a media foghorn, the British people are not interested. British people want to live in strong, integrated communities - where we know our neighbours and feel safe. This policy would fracture that.
