安东尼·塞尔登（Anthony Seldon）在新书《Sunak at 10: The Last Conservative PM?》中披露，现任保守党领袖凯米·巴德诺赫（Kemi Badenoch）在2023年大选前数月曾与其他内阁大臣密谋罢免时任首相里希·苏纳克（Rishi Sunak）1。当时担任商务大臣的巴德诺赫因不满苏纳克的移民政策及对其个人态度，曾考虑辞职并试探其他内阁成员是否支持更换首相1。这一密谋发生在2023年苏纳克因移民政策面临内部压力之际，同年12月罗伯特·詹里克（Robert Jenrick）因卢旺达遣返计划细节辞去移民大臣职务1。
巴德诺赫最终未发起挑战，部分原因是担心承担选举失败责任，以及可能在党魁竞选中输给彭妮·莫当特（Penny Mordaunt）1。苏纳克回应称，这些“博眼球”的叛乱行为损害了保守党选票，加剧了该党在2024年7月大选中的惨败1。在2024年大选后，巴德诺赫击败罗伯特·詹里克，成为保守党领袖1。
Kemi Badenoch, the current leader of the Conservative Party, conspired with other cabinet ministers to remove Rishi Sunak as prime minister of the United Kingdom in 2023, months before the general election, according to a new book by Anthony Seldon 1. Serving as business secretary at the time, Badenoch was reportedly frustrated with Sunak's immigration policies and his personal attitude toward her, leading her to consider resigning and gauge whether fellow cabinet members would support replacing the prime minister 1. This alleged plotting took place amid significant internal pressure on Sunak regarding immigration, which was underscored in December 2023 when Robert Jenrick resigned as immigration minister over the specifics of the Rwanda deportation plan 1.
Ultimately, Badenoch decided against launching a leadership challenge because she feared bearing the blame for an electoral defeat and potentially losing a subsequent leadership contest to Penny Mordaunt 1. Following the Conservative Party's severe defeat in the July 2024 general election, Badenoch successfully defeated Jenrick to become the party leader 1. Addressing the allegations presented in Seldon's book, "Sunak at 10: The Last Conservative PM?", Sunak claimed that these "attention-grabbing" rebellions harmed the Conservative vote and exacerbated the party's poor performance in the election 1.
