    Another cartoon villain. Might be loony enough to pull back some Reform voters, but she won’t be winning any votes back in the center.

    I think the average tory-voting fuckwit was really struggling to support Sunak so the majority of these goons will take one look at this lass and go

    Probably a good thing then lol

    At this point I’m asking myself who I’d rather have sitting opposite Kier Starmer and no matter how many times I run it through my head, Ed Davey wins every time, no contest.

    Either was going to be a shit choice, because they are nasty nasty people. She’s worse, and will keep the Tories out of power for quite a while, so… thanks!

      I seriously doubt she will last until the general election. I’m betting on a vote of no confidence within 2 years.

        The MPs wanted Cleverly anyway but they shit the bed trying to engineer an easy opponent for him in the final two. He’s now said he’s not going to join the shadow cabinet, so while Badenoch has to deal with all the struggles of being LOTO, Cleverly will be on the backbenches, giving speeches to constituency parties, improving his reputation, sounding like some sort of experienced elder statesman to contrast with Badenoch.

        A VONC to put Cleverly in charge seems very likely unless Starmer’s polling numbers really tank over the next few years.
