Another term for Labour then.
Let's not pretend that Jenrick was a slam dunk for them in 2029 though...
The Tory gammons will not like her.
A bit of fag paper maths based on the announced tournout suggests she's picked up just ~40% of the membership vote after even receiving less than that from the MPs to squeak onto the ballot. She's not wildly popular within the party, indeed there are some commenters on ConsHome (who to be fair may be trolls or already voting Reform) who refuse to use anything but her original, full name, which suggests some measure of distaste over her roots.
Badenoch pretty much refused to do any public interviews for the whole leadership battle and won.
Johnson hid away in 2019 too, when all the polling suggests that the members want you over anyone else why rock the boat? The one time she did pipe up at the conference she made a couple of quick gaffes and went back in her box to wait it out.
It'll be interested to see what sort of front bench she can put together from the limited Tory pool, Cleverly's already said he's not going to be involved so might be a real changing of the guard on the blue seats. Presumably Jenrick will be shadow Home if he wants it.
