Kemi Badenoch - Elected Tory Leader

[supercity88]

Yeah, some of the questions were just dumb too.

I think with the Lammy position and Trump being re-elected there was an ability to really grab some headlines. Lammy's had to go crawling to Trump, tail between his legs and pretend he never had the outburst he did. You could build a story about how many more times Labour MPs are going to have to be hypocrites and change their position. That seemed to be the logical attack today.

A perfect example of “Events, dear boy”.

Fair enough. I guess you guys aren't ready for a Black Female PM after all :)

Not a bigoted one,no. As it happens about 18% here supported the American bigot,about the same as support Farage. So my guess is we have about 18% in this country that are fans of a bit of bigotry.She won’t be PM with that

She was shit today.

6 months max.

It’ll be longer than that as there’s no one else. Just look at the state of the shadow cabinet.

Granted

But she was really poor

Patel has always eyed it up, wouldn't be surprised if she was next

I suspect that Braverman didn't stand because she knew it would be a disaster for whoever was first.

I think the party are going to have to stick with Badenoch though - any replacement (Cleverly seems the only moderately sane choice) will still have the same pool of MPs to select a shadow cabinet from.

Or shoehorning Johnson in after Trumps success.

She tried it. Putting party politics before the interest of the UK now. And forgetting what her choice of shadow foreign secretary said about Trump's fomenting violence when he lost...

Home Secretary condemns US violence as 'shocking beyond words' on LBC

Home Secretary Priti Patel has told LBC that last night's scenes in Washington D.C. were "shocking beyond words" and that Donald Trump's remarks "led to violence".
