Kemi Badenoch's Thatcher Tribute Disrupted by Protests Over Inequality and Climate

During a speech commemorating Margaret Thatcher, Badenoch announced a major Conservative policy renewal program while addressing interruptions by protesters.

• Kemi Badenoch's speech at London's Guildhall was interrupted twice by protesters criticizing wealth inequality and the cost-of-living crisis.
• One protester displayed a banner reading 'Abolish Billionaires,' while another shouted about economic hardships before both were ejected.
• The protests were linked to Climate Resistance, a campaign group opposing Thatcher's policies for their perceived role in current crises.
• Badenoch defended Thatcher's legacy, stating she could not be blamed for the cost-of-living crisis, and reaffirmed her party's commitment to Thatcherite principles.
• She announced plans for the Conservative Party's largest policy renewal in 50 years, with further details to be shared on Tuesday.
