There's no hope for diversity with Kemi at the top

IF Kemi Badenoch scrapes home in the backstabbing race to become the next Conservative party leader, they'll be at it again.
There's no hope for diversity with Kemi at the top

The delusionists and the indignant will have you see it as a triumph for diversity when the truth is, she'd be nowhere near the top table had she not been willing to demonise and vilify immigrants and people of colour.

The other truth is that if she were to win, the only people toasting her success as a triumph for racial diversity will be those who have very little racial diversity around them or in their own workplaces.

People who don't want to explore the issue constructively will throw out that snide "wrong kind of Black person" retort that will tell you so much about them.

They'll ignore the truth that a triumph for diversity is when someone is in a position to give hope on an issue around which there had previously been none.

Neither Badenoch nor even James Cleverly before his knifing in the leadership race even remotely provide that.
