Instead of defending young Tories from imaginary bias at universities, maybe Badenoch should focus on addressing real issues like economic inequality and climate change.
Good on Badenoch for standing up for young Conservatives who are being targeted just for thinking differently. We need leadership that’s not afraid to challenge the left-wing bias in universities and the establishment.
It's great to see Kemi Badenoch standing up for young Conservatives who are often overlooked or unfairly treated in academic settings. We need leadership that’s not afraid to challenge the status quo and call out bias where it exists. She’s got the right attitude to take on Starmer and push back against Labour's weak policies.
