🤣 LMAO The time Rob Jenrick was teeing up for a big philosophical rhetoric in the oldest Parliament in the world. But the universe had other plans for him 👇

.Kemi Badenoch gave a speech this morning on rooting identity politics out of the public sector, and it's difficult to disagree with. Straightforward, concrete, specific - the kind of common sense that rarely goes viral for precisely that reason. No rage-farming, just a proposition worth considering. I start from the same place Badenoch does. The Equality Act's basic protections are worth keeping. Having lived abroad, like she has, I'm fairly sure Britain's legal and cultural guardrails against discrimination are something that make this society work. They let individuals reach their potential regardless of background. Which is why Reform's apparent appetite for repealing the whole thing strikes me as a bad idea - and why narrowing in on the Public Sector Equality Duty, the bit that effectively compels public bodies to pre-emptively audition their decisions for possible racism, seems exactly right. This is where the overcorrection happens. The police in the Henry Nowak case initially trusted a false narrative from his killer because of how the duty operates in practice. An 18-year-old dies handcuffed while the system worries about the wrong protected characteristics. If that's not a case study in why the PSED needs gutting, I'm not sure what is. But there's a second thing from this morning, separate but equally significant. A Spectator journalist asked Badenoch whether her entire party is with her on identity politics. Her response was blunt: anyone who isn't with her isn't a Conservative MP, and won't be with her at the next election. Deselection, in effect, for the dissenters. Clip attached. I've wondered for a while what happens to the Cameron-era intake - the wets and wokes - by the 2029 election. The party rules, judging from whatever is in the public domain, already point toward no automatic reselection. Badenoch's answer today suggests she's willing to use that. The days of ideological freelancing look numbered, and for a reason. The solutions Britain needs - genuine Thatcherite ones, strong borders, deregulated economy, a smaller state with a much smaller welfare bill - will require a party that isn't pretending to agree while briefing against the leadership. The dismantling of Blairite constitutional scaffolding, the quangos and diluted sovereignty, will be genuinely painful. Doing it needs discipline, not a coalition of people who quietly want the old dispensation to survive. So, the signal is unmissable. By 2029, the Conservative Party will be authentically conservative, by hook or by crook.
