Kemi Badenoch, the Nigerian-born British politician and Secretary of State for Business and Trade, is trending online due to controversial remarks in which she reportedly mocked migrant care workers, describing them as “bottom wipers.” This has sparked outrage and debate on social media and among advocacy groups.
Badenoch, known for her outspoken views on immigration and social issues, made these remarks while addressing the influx of migrants working in the UK care sector, particularly as low-wage workers. Critics argue that her comments are demeaning and disrespectful to care workers, many of whom play vital roles in healthcare systems worldwide, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic. Supporters, however, claim that she was highlighting the need for better job opportunities and growth in skilled professions.
Born in Wimbledon, London, Badenoch spent part of her childhood in Lagos, Nigeria, and the United States before returning to the UK at 16.
