A leaked recording has surfaced of a senior aide to Conservative minister Kemi Badenoch asserting that the party has 'done the apologies' regarding past discrimination and should now move on.

In the tape, the adviser defends the government’s record on diversity, equity, and inclusion, pushing back against continued calls for reflection.

The remarks have sparked debate within the party and among the public, with some praising the stance as forward-looking while others criticize it as dismissive of lingering inequalities.
