Kemi Badenoch makes wonky spelling error on Tory chocolate bar
Kemi Badenoch is trying to become the next leader of Britain, but can she even spell it?
A bizarre printing error discovered at the so far disastrous Conservative Party Conference has brought more shame on Sir Keir Starmer’s supposed opposition.
Her signed chocolate bar, handed out to journalists and supporters for free, reads: ‘When Labour negotiates, Britian [sic] loses.’
A Labour source, gleefully commented: ‘Yet another Tory Flake. They can’t proofread five words on a bar of chocolate. This conference really isn’t proving to be the Boost Kemi needs.’
LBC reporter Natasha Clark pointed out the error, writing on X: ‘Tories want to run the country… Can’t spell it.’

She said a Tory party spokesman dismissed the misspelling as a ‘printer error’.
Kemi had previously told LBC: ‘I never have gaffes.
‘Or apologising for something that I said. Or that’s not what I meant. I never have to clarify because I think very carefully about what I have to say.’
Her latest gaffe came as half of Tory members think Kemi Badenoch should not lead the party into the next election.
However, three in five said she was doing a good job as leader in the survey released during the Conservative Party conference.
The party has been determined to demonstrate unity despite its polling difficulties and questions about Mrs Badenoch’s leadership.
Of those polled, 50% said she should not be the party’s prime ministerial candidate in 2029, while 46% said she should.
Shadow foreign minister Andrew Rosindell appeared to call for an electoral pact with Nigel Farage’s party in an interview with GB News.
Mr Rosindell urged right-of-centre parties to ‘unite together’ to defeat the left and get Sir Keir Starmer out of Number 10 in the next election.
‘Now, Margaret Thatcher, when she was our leader, we had nothing, no party like Reform. That’s because everybody that’s in Reform today pretty much would have been part of the Conservative Party.
‘So I think we need to get everyone working together to rescue our country from the disaster of this left-wing socialist Government.’
