Why make friends, when it’s so much easier to make enemies? Kemi Badenoch’s default mode of interaction is always to be patronising and condescending.
She can’t help herself. It’s a narcissistic variant. She is unable to imagine herself as anything other than always right about everything. Even when she has been forced to change her mind. So, in her mind, anyone who disagrees with her or dares to even question her is automatically branded as stupid. Hardly worth her time bothering with them.
