Climate protesters disrupted Kemi Badenoch's speech at a conference honoring Margaret Thatcher in London. Two women from Climate Resistance interrupted with shouts and a banner demanding to "Abolish Billionaires." One protester was removed from the venue. Badenoch responded to the protests by stating that Thatcher could not be blamed for the current cost-of-living crisis. Outside, the ejected protester criticized the Conservative Party for allowing wealth inequality and called for a wealth tax to support public services and climate action. During her speech, Badenoch announced plans for a major policy renewal program for the Conservative Party. She emphasized goals like tax cuts, reducing regulations, and promoting national security, while asserting the importance of British values and history.
