I thought that was magnificent.

And I think it's contingent on all of us, and not just politicians, the nation, to respond to that kind of moral leadership.

And then by contrast, I saw Nigel Farage calling for

rage in this country.

And I also saw the way in which the Reform Party sought to grossly and dangerously misrepresent Kemi Badenoch, who, like Keir Starmer,

I thought showed the right kind of leadership in response to this.

And I don't hold a torch for Kemi at all, funnily enough.

But I saw her on the breakfast sofa this week and I saw her speak with clarity and conviction when she said, I don't care about Black Lives Matter.

I don't care about White Lives Matter.

All lives matter.

She was really clear about that.

She didn't say I don't care, she said I don't want to hear Black Lives, White Lives, they all matter.

So she was really clear.

Then an ad goes up that quotes what she said in 2022.

Black lives do matter.

Set against one part of what she said on breakfast television this week.

I don't want to hear about white lives matter.

Those two sentences slapped on an ad with Kemi's face and promoted across social media like wildfire.

Why?

Because they want people to believe that the black woman who leads the Conservative Party cares about black people but doesn't care about white lives.
