Honestly with Bari Weiss
Is Kemi Badenoch the Next Margaret Thatcher?

The presumption of innocence, something that's thrown away with cancel culture, got to fight these things. And I know what it is like to live in a place that doesn't have these things. So it's very, very precious. And I will die to protect those things. And I don't want the UK being turned into the sort of place that everybody else is running from. Somebody has to defend it.

Well, one of the things I've said is that what we tried previously didn't work. So we got to have a new policy platform. One of the things that we never quite finished was the third country deterrence, which was sending people who were claiming asylum, but really were economic migrants to a different country for processing. And that was supposed to be Rwanda.

But a lot of the things that Nigel Farage has talked about are just wishes. So sending people to France, for example, We've had deals with France. We've tried to do that. France doesn't want these people either. So simply saying we'll send them to France doesn't make any sense. And what I say about him is that he can see the problems that we can see. So his diagnosis of many things is not wrong.

but he has never tried to actually fix things so he doesn't understand the system and there's an assumption that all you other people who are in government you just didn't want to do it and so when we come in everything will be fine and what i say is we know why these things didn't work we had different arguments we had disagreements and my side didn't necessarily win those arguments now i'm in charge we can start doing things so for example the intimidation that you talked about this was something that i thought was a moral outrage

And I talked about it in my speech in Washington, that you take a liberal value like the right to protest. It's very special. And then you have people saying, oh, we're just protesting. We're just protesting. But actually what they are doing is intimidating Jews. If you're just protesting, why are you ripping down posters of missing children. How could you do that?

If all you were talking about was other people's freedoms, you would not want to remove the freedoms of those who want to talk about their families. You know, just last week, I was speaking to the mother of a hostage, Emily Damari's mother, Mandy. It's unbelievable what people are going through. What kind of human being are you to rip down

a poster of a missing child, of missing mothers and children. And it's very obvious to me what is happening. It doesn't mean that everybody on the protest feels that way, but it's quite clear that many people used those protests as a cover for anti-Semitism. It was very clear. And that should never happen. Why did we allow it to happen is a more interesting question.
