Kemi Badenoch’s boast of snitching on a schoolmate for cheating and getting him expelled wasn’t the win she clearly thought
Kemi Badenoch has recently carried out a full and frank interview with the BBC’s Amol Rajan, which is a bold move for someone with her interview record.
There was, of course, the infamous time she claimed she became working class when she got a job in McDonald’s as a student.
She also insisted lunch breaks are for wimps, so she has a steak brought to her desk and works while she eats it.
After everything that happened, even she should have known better than to suggest Partygate was overblown.
Yet her handlers still allow her to do interviews, and this one was just as successful as the rest of them – largely due to an anecdote she volunteered.

We’re not sure that story sounded the same in her head as it did to everybody else, but it didn’t get the best reception on Twitter.

Kemi Badenoch gets a student expelled – I haven’t stopped laughing since I read this “She has an incredible ability to become more unlikable and less relatable every single time she opens her mouth” pic.twitter.com/jOAtjRqYVe

It's a pity the adult Kemi Badenoch didn't shout out, 'he's a cheat' when Boris was breaking the rules. Snitching on a classmate when you are 14 doesn't reflect too well, compared to supporting a liar as PM.

Letting Kemi Badenoch talk without interruption has been brilliant by Amol Rajan.
She’s definitely cemented herself as the 4th best female Leader of the Conservative Party.

“You’re really unpopular everyone hates you. Tell the public something they’ll love. Get them onside”
Kemi: I got a 15 year old expelled from school after snitching on him.

Admitting to being a fucking grass isn’t the win Kemi Badenoch thinks it is.
Literal ghosts are more in touch with the general public than her.

Kemi Badenoch is on course to Gerald Ratner the arse out of the Tory party.
It’s a beautiful watch.

'I was a relatively popular student at school…'
We need some sort of 'The Salt Path' investigation on that one.

Mrs ‘I can’t help doing what’s right’ might want to take a long hard look at herself.
The lack of self-awareness from the self-confessed hacker is breathtaking https://t.co/9REvqvjnoF
