Olukemi “Kemi” Badenoch, leader of the Conservative Party in the United Kingdom, attacked Nigel Farage’s call to end “anti-white prejudice” following the mistreatment of white murder victim Henry Nowak by the police, saying, “I don’t want to hear about white lives matter.”

❓ WHAT HAPPENED: Kemi Badenoch, the Nigeria-raised leader of Britain’s notionally center-right Conservative Party, attacked Nigel Farage for his response to the murder of white student Henry Nowak, who was put in handcuffs by police instead of being helped after his Sikh killer lied that he had been racist. Farage called out “anti-white prejudice” and two-tier policing in an emergency response on Tuesday morning, saying, “white lives matter, too” and demanding a major cultural shift and an end to the ideology of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI), sometimes called EDI in Britain. 💬 KEY QUOTE: “We need to bring back equality under the law. What Nigel Farage is doing is reinforcing the difference. I have said that we need to find what we have in common, not what separates us. I don’t want to hear about black lives matter. I don’t want to hear about white lives matter. We all matter.” – Kemi Badenoch, June 2, 2026 🎯 IMPACT: Following the release of bodycam footage of police refusing to believe that Nowak had been stabbed and manhandling him into handcuffs, Farage, leader of the Reform UK party, said, “What has the public reaction been from our leaders and politicians and indeed, to be frank, much of the media to this? Silence, absolute silence. Proof, if ever there was any, that we’re living in a two-tier culture in this country, where the rights and privileges of white people matter less than those of ethnic minorities.” 📰 DETAIL: In an interview on Tuesday, Badenoch criticized Farage’s response to the newly-released footage of Henry Nowak’s arrest, condemning Farage’s response as divisive and saying the country was “descending into tribalism.” Notably, Badenoch has previously expressed her own tribal enmities, describing northern Nigerians as her “ethnic enemies.” Badenoch did concede the existence of anti-white racism, but said she doubted the existence of systematic two-tier policing, and complained, “Nigel Farage is taking sides. I’m not taking sides.” However, many observers have noted that, during the Black Lives Matter unrest of 2020, Badenoch tweeted, “Black lives do matter.” |
Kemi Badenoch, just like Starmer, doesn’t care.
