It’s time to help people; looking forward to 2025: Kemi Badenoch
Tory leader Kemi Badenoch has sent out a Christmas message of hope, stressing that the season is a time to reflect on “all that’s happened in the year” and “support all of those people who need our assistance.”
She said, “I want to take this opportunity to say thank you to everyone, not just in the Conservative Party or in my constituency, but across the country.”
Ms Badenoch added. “For all that you have been doing in your communities, supporting each other and helping to keep all our towns, villages and places going. I think that Christmas is a time for us to reflect on all that’s happened in the year.”
Ms Badenoch noted that “sometimes we have amazing years” and “sometimes, like when I lost my dad, we have difficult years and we’re commiserating, but we do it together.”
However, Ms Badenoch said, “But it’s a time for us to support all of those people who need our assistance, who need our help, who need our support. I’m looking forward to 2025.
“I wish you all the very best for the New Year and all of the exciting things to come.”
Liberal Democrat leader Ed Davey said, “This year, I’ve had the chance to spend time with some amazing young carers.
“Incredible young people who will spend this Christmas doing what they do all year round; looking after loved ones who are ill or disabled.
“Carers embody the Christmas spirit of love, selflessness and generosity. So I hope we can all take some time to think of them and keep them in our hearts.
“And wish them – and everyone – a Christmas full of peace, joy and love.”
