“Britain Is Our Home, Not a Hotel”—Kemi Badenoch’s Comment on Social Media Sparks Fiery Rebuke.

Around the World.

The news as it trends.

UK Minister Kemi Badenoch sparked heated debate after stating, “Britain is our home, not a hotel,” in a post about immigration policy.

Intended as a firm nationalist stance, her comment quickly drew backlash—including from her own Facebook followers.

Many reminded her of a previous post where she had reportedly sponsored a British citizenship certificate for an immigrant child, celebrating the event with cake.

Critics were quick to point out the contradiction between her current rhetoric and her past actions, calling the statement exclusionary and inconsistent.

The internet has a long memory, and users urged leaders to be more thoughtful when making sweeping declarations.

It’s worth noting that Badenoch’s parents are of Nigerian descent and gave birth to her in London after migrating from Nigeria—an origin story not unlike many of her online critics.

Several commenters highlighted this, questioning the tone of her message and calling for more inclusive leadership.
