Here was a chance for Kemi Badenoch to show her human side. To give the world a rare sighting of her empathy gene. But Kemi just can't go there.
She can't read a room. She has only one mode. All-out attack.
Other people's moments of weakness are just material for her to use against them.
Even now, she probably thinks she played a blinder at prime minister's questions.

It is customary to say something complimentary about a departing PM but the Tory leader couldn’t meet the moment
