What we're really seeing from the right is two arguments coming.
One, and I think this is where Badenoch's camp sits, asks how do institutions respond to diversity?
She's suggesting that they've been doing it wrong since BLM or perhaps since the Stephen Lawrence inquiry, that DEI or EDI or identity politics has gone too far and that actually some of these policies are discriminating against white Britons.
But there's an argument to the right of her.
And it's quite scary, actually, that, you know, people are now saying diversity in its entirety.
It's wrong.
We need mass deportation of people who've been here for several generations.
We need mass deportations of people here who are migrants who are legally here.
The Overton window has shifted so far to the right that Badenoch is a moderate on this question.
I think we have to be honest that the public conversation has definitely shifted.
Ideas that would have been considered fringe perhaps a decade ago, people are saying on doorstops, people are making those comments on Facebook and Stan X is a bit frantic.
perhaps to the right of other social media platforms.
It's its own beast, isn't it?
Yeah.
But people are saying this in a way that I don't think they would have said a decade ago.
When you say say this, saying racist things.
Yes.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I think people are saying quite shocking racist things about people of colour in this country.
