Speaking to the Beeb's Laura Kuenssberg on Sunday, the presenter inevitably drew attention to Kemi Badenoch's immutable characteristics of being a black female party leader. "What do you think of it as a milestone?" asked Kuennsberg. Badenoch's response was pure Martin Luther King as she said: "I think the best thing will be is where we get to the point when the colour of your skin is no more remarkable than the colour of your eyes or the colour of your hair."
She added how astonished she is that Rachel Reeves goes to such great lengths to remind everyone that she is the first female Chancellor of the Exchequer. "I think that is a very low glass ceiling within the Labour party... no more significant than what other women in this country have achieved".
