One of Gov. Ron DeSantis’ comrades in the War on Woke is leading the conservatives across the pond.
Kemi Badenoch will replace Rishi Sunak as the leader of a Tory party that was humiliated in the most recent British elections.
DeSantis, who met with her in Britain and then in Jacksonville where a trade accord between Florida and the UK was signed, lauded her candidacy from “across the pond” last month.
“She and I worked on a great trade agreement between Florida and the United Kingdom,” DeSantis said during the endorsement video, saying Badenoch would be an “inspiration for conservatives not just in the United Kingdom but around the world.”
“It builds on my work as Trade Secretary with UK allies across the world. They know the challenges we face are not unique and it’s great to show I have the relationships and support outside the UK as well as inside it, if elected to lead. Our party needs renewal and that includes rebuilding our overseas networks,” Badenoch said about the endorsement.
DeSantis credited her also with supporting his “war on woke” in comments to the British press this Spring, with a tweet lauding her as a “strong, outspoken leader.”

“She and I worked on a great trade agreement between Florida and the United Kingdom,” DeSantis said. Florida going to fill the vacuum left by Brexit?
Risible. The Tories were swept out of office after many years of austerity for the taxpayers who need, pay for, and want government services — and happy days for the wealthy.

Judging from the picture, she must be about 3 feet tall.

She’s a firm believer in austerity for most folks; tax breaks for the wealthy donor class.
Neo-Thatcherism.
