The Conservative Party leadership vote…

Please let it be Madenoch, please let it be Madenoch, please let it be Madenoch?……….

I have a horrible fear it will slimy Jenrick.

11am & Badenoch has it in the bag according to Conservatives Home.

Yeah I think kemi trails has it from what I’ve been reading

I liked Ian Dunts synopsis:

For the record, I’m hoping it’s Kemi Badenoch, because she genuinely believes in her horrible views. Robert Jenrick does not genuinely believe in his horrible views and therefore has no moral floor to his behaviour. But really, it’s touch-and-go. They are both unconscionably dreadful people.  The polling, such as it is, points to Badenoch. I suspect Jenrick will win, on the basis that the worst possible thing always happens.

whoever wins, they’ve probably got 18 months before the next Tory leadership election

Yep, that’s about right.

Cleverly seems to think, he’s said he won’t be serving in the shadow cabinet

I’m old enough to remember the statesmanlike Jimmy dimly.

Gosh, he was the foreign secretary

Radio 4 news bulletin stating that it’s Badenoch and will be announced shortly.

they are absolutely ****.

I’m old enough to remember the traditional right wing values of dear Dame Pritti Vacant

The Nationalities and Borders Act, Rwanda, Sharing forthright views with well respected long serving civil servants……happy days sadly long gone.

Gosh, he was the foreign secretary

But then so was Boris Johnson and Liz Truss before him. So maybe his campaign manager Grant Shapps had assured him that the leadership was his destiny, right upto the point where he monumentally ****ed up the maths in the second vote to unceremoniously dump him out 😀

Reckon Cleverly didn’t sound nearly disappointed enough to have been out of the race. He’s playing the long game, knows they have to troll the depths of this right wing fever dream, and will be back in 18 months’ time when more of the batty tory membership have passed away, and what’s left might realise they need something “a bit more sensible “

You never know. Nige might be on board by then.

I forgot that was on this morning,  the national c%&t off finals. Edge of my seat…

Its really gripped the nation, hasn’t it?

2 bald blokes fighting over a comb

Honest Bob’s wife looks like she’s been cloned from a cross between thatcher and Theresa May.

can anyone hear the champagne corks popping in Downing Street?

To be fair, that was going to be the case for whichever of them got to fill in as leader of the squabling rabble for the next 18 months

Has she started arguing with her shadow yet?

She’s presently having a massive fight with herself about who’s going to be in the shadow cabinet

It’s all very reminiscent of Corbyn being elected isn’t it? Lots of enthusiastic activists, a load of MPs smiling through gritted teeth and a governing party high fiving each other in ecstatic celebration.

Not all all. I didn’t like Corbyn but he did have some principles.

Kemi  is just another highly entitled, rabid right-wing, misanthropic, racist who’s confidence is much greater than her intelligence. She thinks she’s a great orator but all I see is a rather silly person playing at being a MP ‘cos she probably couldn’t hold down a real job. Thick as mince with unparalleled levels of arrogance.

I didn’t like Corbyn but he did have some principles.

Of course but I’m not really talking about his policies, more the cirumstances which are very similar, and which will almost certainly have the same results.

She’s the worst orator I’ve ever heard. Proabably the worst case of Dunning-Kruger I’ve ever seen. She reminds me of people I see at work who have bullied and manoevred their way into senior positions despite being utterly useless and completely absent of any principle or scruples.

Of course but I’m not really talking about his policies, more the cirumstances which are very similar, and which will almost certainly have the same results.

Fully agree with this. And Madenoch does have principles in which she believes, it’s just they are foul disgusting principles. Honesty Bob however was from the Johnson school of slime and would say whatever he thought sounded best.

We’re not going through a vintage period of leading UK politicians with actual oratory qualities.

She’s the worst orator I’ve ever heard.

To say that when Truss is still in the recent memory is a strong statement. Mind you, Starmer is pretty dire too. Not in the same league clearly, but he’d have been lucky to make it to 5th Lobster in the school christening performance.

I’m still disappointed Cleverly didn’t make it. I’d still have rather eaten a bowl of cold sick than vote tory, but a Cleverly Tory party might have given right leaning voters a slightly more sane party to find a find a home in. It didn’t matter which of the last 2 had been elected, we’re going to be in a situation where they will be giving a legitimate and loud voice to nasty opinions. That will inevitably mean that millions of people with a latency being **** will now be emboldened to think being a **** is ok.

I think she’ll be quite good*

* and by good  I mean she’ll come up with plenty of mean things to say about the goverment and others that’ll get picked up on socials and other contemporary meeja. Alternative policies be damned, her short term job is being a bit of a dick, and that’ll come naturally.

First PMQ’s shes gonna get asked if she thinks maternity pay is a step too far.

Second PMQ’s she gonna get asked which civil servants should be in prison

etc

etc

etc

And then a little journalistic pressure applied and boom….

Struth! Not for all the tea in China…

Mrs Jenrick is terrifying, considering the company she is hanging out with it’s quite an achievement to stand out as an absolute horror show.

First PMQ’s shes gonna get asked if she thinks maternity pay is a step too far.

Second PMQ’s she gonna get asked which civil servants should be in prison

You do know she’s not the Prime Minister, right?

It’s going to be all culture war, all the time with kemi in charge, yaaay!

She’s the worst orator I’ve ever heard.

To say that when Truss is still in the recent memory is a strong statement.

There are so many similarities between Badanoch and Truss though. Two peas in a pod…

1. Hugely inflated idea of their own abilities? Check!

2. Planet-sized sense of ‘born to rule’ entitlement? Check!

3. Opinions that drift ever-further rightward by the day? Check!

4. Sociopathic/psychopathic absense of even the slightest shred of empathy, compassion or basic human decency? Bingo!

Those are all qualities which make you the darling of the Tory party membership, but I can’t see them having a much wider appeal than that

First PMQ’s shes gonna get asked if she thinks maternity pay is a step too far.

Second PMQ’s she gonna get asked which civil servants should be in prison

Her latest brain-fart is that we should all be working 6 days a week

There are so many similarities between Badanoch and Truss though.

There’s a reason for that…..

Mrs Jenrick is terrifying

Dear god! Its like Ardman animation has made a pantomime baddie

No matter how I phrase this it’s going to sound wrong but she looks like the Price Regent (Hugh Laurie) in Blackadder 3

Good news for the new leader of the Tory Party :

Tories lead in polls for first time in three years after Budget – on Sunak’s last day

https://inews.co.uk/news/politics/tories-lead-in-polls-for-first-time-in-three-years-after-budget-on-sunaks-last-day-3358584

No matter how I phrase this it’s going to sound wrong but…

….if both Mr and Mrs Badenoch or Mr and Mrs Jenrick appeared in the Little Britain Tory MP sketch they’d both fit the stereotype perfectly…..

No matter how I phrase this it’s going to sound wrong but she looks like the Price Regent (Hugh Laurie) in Blackadder 3

I’m more inclined to Binners Aardman villainess. The one who had the bakery?

Just to rehash what I said earlier in this thread:

Heard on the radio this morning, “if Kemi Badenoch gets elected then every labour MP will have to register it as a gift”.

Tee-hee

I think she’ll be quite good*

* and by good  I mean she’ll come up with plenty of mean things to say about the goverment and others that’ll get picked up on socials and other contemporary meeja. Alternative policies be damned, her short term job is being a bit of a dick, and that’ll come naturally.

I think you might have a point there.

The job of a Tory leader in opposition is basically to act as a General in the culture wars, directing their Tufton St army to stoke Division, point out problems (real or imagined) and offer solutions as wildly impractical and expensive as they like, essentially what their predecessors have done, but unencumbered by the bothersome issue of being the one supposed to be governing…

It certainly would have suited truss, Bozza would have thrived being unaccountable and getting to showboat at the dispatch box too. Kemi’s going to be like a pig in shit if she gets the gig, not so sure about Generic Bob…
