Conservative Party leadership candidate Kemi Badenoch delivers a speech during the Conservative Party Conference at the International Convention Centre in Birmingham, October 2, 2024

TORY leadership hopeful Kemi Badenoch distributed a pamphlet at her party’s conference that had been co-written by a councillor suspended by the Conservatives for posting Islamophobic tweets.

Waltham Forest Councillor John Moss tweeted that “every 11-year-old girl” should be frightened of Islam in 2015.

He was suspended from the party but readmitted after a month later after completing “diversity and anti-bias training.”
