Badenoch’s supposed “immigrant patriotism” is even harder to square with her own comments, while standing in a diverse London seat around a decade ago, regarding her intention as a Nigerian to lobby for West Africa in Westminster. “I am asking you to support a Nigerian who is trying to improve our national image and do something great here.” What were these “great” things? Well, they included peddling influence to “speak out against those who are cheating and robbing Nigeria” and working on behalf of any fellow Nigerians “who seek refuge for themselves or their money in the UK.” The best interests of her host nation—the very thing Lord Moore praises Badenoch for cherishing—appear to have been remote from her mind.
