Cast your mind forward 10 years or so. Long after Kemi Badenoch has been sacked as Tory party leader without even getting to contest an election. Long after she has been fired from a sinecure in an HR firm for falling out with all her colleagues. Long after she was dismissed from a Tory thinktank for being unable to think. Long after she was forced to take early retirement.
You might think Kemi’s name would be long forgotten by then. But you would be wrong. Because her name will live for evermore. Six years from now a group of psychiatrists and psychotherapists will gather in May for what will become the most oversubscribed symposium in the history of medical and therapeutic science. Freudians, Jungians, Kleinians, cognitive behaviourists, psychodynamic and systemic therapists. The lot. Everyone will be there. Trying to make sense of the most intriguing problem to have troubled shrinks everywhere. Who or what is Kemi? More importantly, why is Kemi?
