There’s not enough cringe in the UK to cope with the ‘Kemi & Co’ estate agent cosplay-fest the Tories just released – 15 frank appraisals
We’re not sure who Kemi Badenoch’s social media adviser is, but if she told us it was Matt Hancock, Esther McVey, or even Alan Partridge, we’d probably buy it.
She’s just released this video of ‘Kemi & Co’, featuring herself and her partner in cringe, Shadow Housing Secretary James Cleverly, as a pair of estate agents, to announce the Tory pledge to scrap stamp duty.
Brace yourselves.

What in the 1980s straight-to-video soundtrack was all that about, then? We particularly enjoyed the part where she explained that Kemi & Co is the Conservative Party – in case you couldn’t work that out for yourself.
It gets worse with every viewing, believe us, and the first was bad enough. The reviews are in, and the cast needn’t bother writing a speech for the Baftas.

Reminder: When in government the Conservatives increased stamp duty rates FOUR times.
That’s what they actually do. https://t.co/Cogu5xgnh1

If stamp duty is so bad, why take part in a lame stunt which serves only to highlight that her party could’ve axed it at any point between 2010 and 2024?
The Tories: world class … at being wise after the event. Since 1834 😏

As politicians how can we be even less likeable? Pretend to be estate agents!

Not sure portraying yourself as the estate agents of politics is a winner. https://t.co/zUxki9CAT3

Once again, 14 years and they did not scrap it. These are some of the same people who were Ministers across that 14 years. Suddenly they realised it’s a tax on aspiration? https://t.co/wPDM7J3TbS

Yeah – because estate agent vibe is the go to trustworthy avatar for your modern self respecting politician.

you can just tell they had too much fun making this, to stop and realize how cringe-worthy it was https://t.co/zVvS28RfVB

It’s Kemi Badenoch finally admitting defeat as she starts a new estate agency with what looks like James Cleverly as her assistant.
And finally the time has come where they recognise that both are going nowhere, and therefore they have done the next best thing to make money.… https://t.co/gd52lz4kq1

Tharries had a question.
Was James Cleverly the only MP left who was willing to do this? https://t.co/8VYqPB2rEg
— Tharries (@TharriesYT) March 15, 2026
With the direct off-ramp to Reform, he may soon be the only one left.
