Badenoch's Purge: A Tale of Petty Politics in the Conservative Party The latest row within the Conservative Party is a stark reminder that politics can be as petty as it is brutal.
At its center lies a claim that Kemi Badenoch, the party's leader, is "jealous" of Penny Mordaunt, a former cabinet minister and prominent figure in King Charles' coronation ceremony.
This development comes as no surprise to those who have been following the party's recent moves under Badenoch's leadership. The Conservative Party has been purging MPs with views deemed too liberal by rightwingers.
