Badenoch siding with JD Vance over our armed forces

4 Mar 2025

EMBARGO: Immediate Release

Responding to Kemi Badenoch defending JD Vance over his comments, Liberal Democrat Defence Spokesperson Helen Maguire MP, a former Captain in the Royal Military Police who served in Iraq, said:

“Kemi Badenoch's first instinct is to jump to the defence of JD Vance, not our own brave service men and women.

“The Conservatives are all over the place. Kemi Badenoch cannot even agree with her own Shadow Defence Secretary when it comes to Vance’s offensive denial of the UK’s military sacrifices.”
