She argued that a "false equivalence" had been made in an attempt to appear impartial. Badenoch defended the UK's continued dealings with Qatar, believed to house Hamas members, stressing that cutting ties would reduce influence.

Badenoch also stated that the UK is a welcoming place for people of all backgrounds, addressing criticisms of her views due to her ethnicity. She emphasized the country's success in hosting people from different countries.

She dismissed concerns about Labour's impact on the Conservative Party's image as the party of business, stating that Labour underestimates the complexities of EU-related issues.
