Good morning. Kemi Badenoch has dismissed the idea of any kind of pact between the Conservatives and Reform UK – but, as the last couple of days have made abundantly clear, they are drinking from the same well.
On Monday, Badenoch spoke at a conference organised by the Alliance for Responsible Citizenship (ARC), a group co-founded by the Canadian culture warrior Jordan Peterson and funded by GB News owner Paul Marshall, and said that an obsession with “pronouns, diversity policies and climate activism” would ultimately mean that “our country and all of western civilisation will be lost”. Yesterday, Nigel Farage appeared at the same event, and told Peterson that western civilisation was underpinned by “Judeo-Christian culture”. Obsessed with western civilisation, this lot.
