Named tomorrow as the new Tory leader if the polls are believed. Could she revive Tory fortunes before the next election or is it too early. Starmer doing his best to help Unfortunately. |  | | |  |

She’s an absolute loon and a nasty piece of work. I doubt she will make it to the next election. They’ll contrive to get Cleverley back in for that I suspect.
Not really sure how Labour showing how badly they ran the country and how big the fix is going to be, is helping the Tories. |  |

Cleverly has said he won't serve under any of them so I make you right.

Ha good one. As any sane Saffron Walden resident will tell you Kemi Badenough is a deeply unpleasant, lazy, rude, arrogant, shameless opportunist with zero interest in her constituents or constituency.
Even the blue rinse brigade had abandoned her at the last election and a sandal wearer would have got in if Reform hadn’t put up a Nazi who was too rabid, even for them. It’s amusing to think the good folk of Saffron Walden who gave pride sandle place in their churchyard to ‘the best prime minister we never had’ (Rab Butler for Guardian-reading toddlers) might have to reserve a space for the worst prime minister we never had - except she’d prefer Wimbledon.
I think the most flattering thing you could say about Badenough is that she’s Liz Truss Lite | |

Are you sure about that? In latest yougov poll Keir's popularity is now lower than Tony Blair's current rating.
That's no mean feat given how many people inside and outside the Labour Party believe TB should be put on trial at The Hague over Iraq.
Then again Maggie's popularity nosedived after 1979 until Galtieri foolishly invaded the Falklands, so wars can work the other way.
Although in fairness Keir's no warmonger and more likely to hand them back to Buenos Aires.
Regarding the leader, Labour desperately wants members to elect the generic Tory boy, they genuinely fear Kemi and rightly so. [Post edited 2 Nov 2024 9:10]

Shame it wasn’t Cleverly. Badenoch is certainly a strong character, but too often foot in mouth and too combative. Tories need to track back to centre if they are going to ensure this Lab gov is a one term blip. I think we can all agree that the sooner we see the back of Starmer, reeves, Streeting, Lammy et al - the better! Leaderless Tories ahead of Lab in the polls today, demonstrates what an awful mess Lab are making of this. Future around farmers IHT and VAT in school fees for circa £1bn total revenue. It’s absolute politics of ideology, and a very unpleasant ideology at that. | | | |

Well going by your usual judgement I will take this is a positive for Kemi. |  |

She's still green and rough around the edges, will no doubt be some bumps between now and the election - but she's got time to ride those out and hone her political skills. She might not last of course, and end up another of the 'caretaker' leaders of the party in opposition, but I think there is potential and definitely prefer her to the prat Jenrick. | |

Cleverly is a muppet and a rare case of anti nominative determinism. |  |

seems like a duncan smith-style red meat appointment, chances of her (or jenrick) seeing an election look slight | |

He’s very likeable and very charismatic and thus very electable so would be a big problem for Starmer, who is none of those things. I can’t see Starmer lasting the course tho, given his personal popularity issues with the electorate. | | | |

Everything else aside, surely having been actually elected, does make someone electable? |  |

I did pause before putting that, for that reason! However, although Starner may have been electable in July (I’d argue almost by default) he’s certainly not very electable now. Point taken, however. | | | |

I wouldn’t take much notice of personal polling at the moment. Labour are in fur five to tears and making the more difficult political decisions very early in their tenure. As much as I disagree with certain aspects of their budget, if they get things right economically they should easily be re elected in 4 or 5 years time. | |

She's quite plain speaking for a politician which is good. Her world view is very different to mine, but that's ok. |  |

Why “easily”? Low growth and a widely disliked leader (and dislikable imho) won’t make for a comfortable GE in 5 years time. If Starmer continues to tank as he is then I’d imagine he will be ousted at some point. All boils down to who the Tories get in after Jenrick or Badenoch are gone. If it’s someone charismatic and new, I see a comfortable path to victory for them…. Elephant in the room is Reform. Cons need to revert to small state fiscal conservatism (which should entail efficient economic management, not that you’d know that from the last lot) and relative social liberalism. I think that’s where the majority of the country sits tbh. And stop the culture wars!!! Jenrick and Badenoch look like they will be keeping that tiresome element ongoing. | | | |

This is just following the party line. Politicians whipped into doing so, so nothing to see here. Even Rory Stewart’s voting record looks dodge based on his record while in Con party. I think she’s far too divisive, however. [Post edited 2 Nov 2024 11:10]
