Weird in a way because it use to be along the lines of race/religion, the whole BLM movement, has moved the it along, some of the stuff MP's have said in the past, if they say it now, they would be sacked on the spot but it's moved from race to trans rights.

The debate is a sign of the growing importance of US-style culture war politics to the Conservative party.

Two candidates, the attorney general, Suella Braverman, and the former equalities minister Kemi Badenoch, have explicitly aimed their campaigns as being opposed to socially liberal language and policies.

Launching her campaign with an article in the Times, Badenoch reiterated her opposition to identity-based politics, saying this led to “coercive control, the imposition of views, the shutting down of debate”.
