No way

Just to remind everone why her party are nowhere near power anymore. Odious Party from horrible woman who forgot to include the line-
Then they came for the immigrants, and because I was not an immigrant I did not speak out.

Apparently she won't be bullied into removing the post.

Minister for common sense indeed.

We'll fight them in the beer gardens, we'll fight them in the doorways, we'll fight for our ciggy shelters, we shall never surrender.

Embarrassed and gutted she is from this city.

Same with Mad Nads, the pair of horrors.

Sadly there is always a place at the table for those prepared to cut the throats of their own. Turncoats, traitors, betrayers, snakes, judas!

‘Scandalous’ £3.4bn UK state spending on private consultants last year

New figures reveal that public bodies paid out at least 60% more to consultancies in 2023-24 than it did pre-pandemic

Weirdos.

Badenoch has been outed now as being noted in media her previous support for means tested winter fuel allowance. Strongly suspect none of these will ever be PM,


Robert Jenrick 28 votes
Kemi Badenoch 22 votes
James Cleverly 21 votes
Tom Tugendhat 17 votes
Mel Stride 16 votes

Patel 14 votes (eliminated)

I'm inclined to agree. I think, much like Labour under Starmer, the next Tory PM (which we have to sadly accept is a likely eventuality) is someone with no direct ties to previous cabinets and is probably not even in Parliament yet. Their brand is too toxic and too many of the current names linked to that toxicity, I mean Badenoch is possibly only the membership's favourite because she went after Dr Who publicly, a visible symbol of the BBC "wokery" they're so obsessed with. It's not something a statesperson should be lowering themselves to, but their members seem to want the party to stay in the gutter. In normal times, they'd need a long time out of power to re-shape into something electable, with a whole new cast of faces.

Zahawi just got bashed up re immigration on politics live. Called out about 'speaking up' at the time.

"I've always tried my best to remind colleagues..."

Charlatan!

I think it's far from inevitable they win. As Alan Duncan said, they are a long way off. It's much more likely they skip behind the Liberal Democrats into 3rd, especially when you see the calibre of some of their candidates.
