Tory MP concerns over links to Gove are 'patronising' Badenoch supporter says
to be trusted to take over the party, with the frontrunner being branded a “proxy” for the former Cabinet minister.Conservative leadership contestBut Ms Badenoch has attracted criticism from her parliamentary colleagues, who have concerns over her combative style and, in particular, her connections to Mr Gove, the former education, justice and environment secretary.: “The trouble with Kemi is we keep hearing reports of her arrogance and intolerance.
A former minister said the pair’s close relationship was an “open secret” but insisted that it had “cooled” in recent months, with the source doubting whether Mr Gove was still as involved as people expected. But for many others, the Scotsman is viewed with suspicion, having sabotaged Boris Johnson’s first attempt to take over the Tory party, and openly undermined Liz Truss’s premiership at the time.
Allies of Ms Badenoch believe the allegations that she is still connected to Mr Gove are part of a coordinated attempt by her rivals to undermine her push for the leadership. One of Ms Badenoch’s supporters, the Shadow Science Secretary Andrew Griffith MP, criticised the attacks.
