It’s been a round-the-clock job. If you’re wondering why you haven’t seen Kevin Hollinrake, Laura Trott and Chris Philp in the same room recently, it’s because they have all been otherwise engaged. Each tasked with a gruelling, daily eight-hour shift to make sure that Kemi Badenoch remains silent. The doors are all locked and her phone and laptop have been removed. KemiKaze must be protected. And the person she needs protection from is herself.
The plan is for Kemi to do and say as little as possible. Because it’s far easier to let Robert Jenrick do all the talking. Honest Bob has done the morning radio programmes, he’s done the Laura Kuenssberg show and everything has gone exactly how Team Kemi would have wished. The more Tory members get to see of Honest Bob, the less there is of him to like.
