Kemi Badenoch’s early troubles reflect fundamental problems

Summary

Theresa Badenoch took to the despatch box on Wednesday afternoon for what was effectively her inaugural PMQs.

But her performance was both over-rehearsed and stumbling.

Her scattergun strategy, bereft of any cohesive narrative, supplied Starmer with ample escape routes.

Her criticism of the budget, climate commitments and four-day working week proposals required no political innovation.

There was, in sum, something strikingly Sunak-esque about Badenoch ’s performance: the long windup, the edgy demeanour, the flat delivery and resultantly unimpressed backbenchers.

Why, we must instinctively doubt, will a “let Kemi be Kemi ” strategy succeed where the Conservatives ’ let Rishi be Rishi ’ approach failed?.

Keir Starmer ’s greatest gift in opposition was that he didn’t make an impression for years .

Starmer adjusted his political offering to appease the median (or “hero”) voter.

Badenoch, because of her variant style, will lodge herself in the memory of those voters.
