Oddly Tory leadership candidates with drugs in the past are allowed a "second chance" But the public aren't allowed a #PeoplesVote despite lawbreaking only 3 years ago Double standards much #indyref2 #FinalSay #ToryLeadershipContest

Kemi Badenoch.

A cautionary reminder that if you actively court the most extreme voices in your bubble and forget there's a world outside it you will make incrementally bad choices until in the end you will only have the choice of one of two bad outcomes and you'll choose the sincerely deranged person who will drive you over a cliff over the cynically dishonest person who might, just might, put the brake on.

Boris Johnson compared January 6 to moaning remainers and was schooled into the next dimension

The more we see of Boris Johnson, the harder it is to believe he was ever in 10 Downing Street (and it was difficult enough to believe at the time). Here he is trying to shift a few copies of his not overly popular memoirs to TV viewers in Australia, when he was asked by […]

I mean… I'm glad the Tories are committed to being unelectable for the foreseeable but it's full cringe to watch them cosplaying working class.

The long-awaited ‘working class and proud of Britain’ episode of ‘What Was Robert Jenrick Thinking?’ just dropped

The Tory leadership race has boiled down to two candidates – Robert Jenrick and Kemi Badenoch. To put it simply – if you thought good sense might have been about to prevail, that ship has well and truly sailed. In his latest push for support, Jenrick has released a video that is so toe-curlingly cringeworthy […]

The Tory leadership hopeful believes that if he shouts the same things a bit louder, everyone will eventually come round to his way of thinking

Kemi Badenoch dismisses Tory MP's parenthood remark

Sir Christopher Chope suggested Badenoch would be less able to commit to the demands of being party leader.

Badenoch or Jenrick to be next Tory leader.

I hope that this means the end of the Tory party by moderates not voting for them. But fear that Labour's lackluster performance will mean that an extremist Conservative party will be put into power at the next election.
