So nothing to worry about, unless, you are wrong. Which is quite likely. |  | |  |

Cleverly out on 15:51 - Oct 9 by J2BLUE | Glad he's out. He should be nowhere near politics. Jenrick also seems to be a polished turd. Badenoch, although fairly unpleasant, does at least seem to have a brain. |
Just a shame that it doesn't seem connected to her mouth. |  | |  |

Cleverly out on 16:29 - Oct 9 with 1704 views | baxterbasics | Those thinking both are a gift to Starmer are underestimating Badenoch. She'll be rough around the edges to start with but I think she will give him a few problems. Peter Mandelson apparently saying as much too, he knows his onions when it comes to this stuff. Cleverly just far to dull and hardly untainted from his stint in government. |  |

Cleverly out on 16:32 - Oct 9 with 1683 views | soupytwist | I'm in the fortunate(?) position of being one of Cleverley's constituents. I wonder how much longer he will stick around as an MP given this result. Not sure he's up for a lengthy stint as a back bencher. |  | |  |

I concur, the fact she has made it this far is just mind boggling. However I reiterate the point that this is the party that not only made Liz Truss their leader but also Prime Fooking Minister. Looney tunes central over there at times. |  |

alistair campbell said that the tories would be stupid not to choose tugendhat, he also knows his stuff she doesn't seem terribly good with the media as shown by the maternity pay debacle. badenoch was also a member of the cabinet with cleverley, so don't see how she will avoid this |  |

Cleverly out on 15:55 - Oct 9 by Blueschev | Won't somebody please think of the landlords?? |
There are plenty if pensioner landlords like myself who let out just one property, the annexe of their home. If you think the housing crisis is bad now, it's going to be a helluva lot worse if those properties are taken off the market altogether because the aforementioned landlords are desperate to avoid being saddled with antisocal or non-rent-paying tenants.

Cleverly out on 16:01 - Oct 9 by FrimleyBlue | Wasn't quite my point tbh more about the different types of people they'd fked off in record time. Of course no comparison between the two actual things. |
Fair enough. I think you have a point about Labour’s (lack of) popularity, and politics is very volatile these days. But, I can’t see these nutjobs getting in – partly due to incompetence, and partly due to neither selling any kind of “levelling up” to go with the rightwing lunacy. But you never know. And my god, imagine Badenoch as PM. |  | |  |

They haven't given it a 2nd thought tbh. Instead of 2 months of no rent payments = notice served. They're changing to 4 months. Currently all councils telling tenants to stay until bailiffs arrive. So no payment for 4 months. You then have to give the new 4 months notice instead of 2 so that's 8 months of now rent. Then they refuse to leave so you go court. Another 2 months. Still refuse to leave. Apply for warrant of bailiff another month. Then get bailiff that takes 2 weeks to book eviction date. So nearly a year to get a tenant out who stopped paying rent plus the extra £4000 to go through the courts. Then you find out after they've gone. They had dogs that you didn't want them to have but legally couldn't stop them ( new rule) so you've got to pay out on refurbing the place to be able to remarket. What's the point in risking it.. might as well sell. BTW. Aware there are dodgy landlords out there so appreciate the need for a certain reform of the rules. But increasing notice periods etc is wrong imo. The pet rule etc should be the landlords choice. |  |

I am sure no one in the Cleverly camp would be so stupid as to even consider voting for anyone else. |  |

Like Johnson, she'll con the slow of thinking by not bothering with facts and endless tiresome hot takes designed to appeal to the Very Real Concerns crowd. [Post edited 9 Oct 2024 18:23]

I think of her in very similar terms as Truss - seems like an intellectual lightweight pretending that she's actually not. Incredibly, I think Jenrick is worse though. Are these really the best candidates that the tories could drum up? |  |

She's the Institute of Economic Affairs candidate essentially, the same people who had Truss as their puppet That went well! |  |

Was it 10-15% of civil servants should be in prison? Slash maternity pay She is a nasty piece of work and by all accounts not great to work for Liz Truss mk 2 The tories are fooked running after Reform votes in a subtrumpian manner |  | |  |

They appear to genuinely think that yet more dimwitted incompetent bigots with a relaxed approach to open corruption are what the country wants. Despite having been thrown out for being precisely that. |  |
