Jenrick turning it up to 11

'I would end small boat crossings in weeks' - Jenrick​

That reads like a Trump claim, although he'd say he'd do it in hours, rather than weeks.

What a fuckwit. “I’ve got a plan! It’s the same plan that’s failed before, because it’s illegal”

Tory leadership contendor in fuckwit shocker!

 

[weltweit]

Back when the Tories were in power, I always thought Robert Jenrick was a lightweight ..

I haven't been following the process but I doubt he would have changed my mind.

Is it nearly over?

Put Chris Grayling in charge of little boat crossings, that will ensure there are no boats to cross the channel.

Don’t be shocked if Robert Jenrick beats Kemi Badenoch in the Tory leadership contest - analysis — The Independent

As polls close in the Tory leadership election, Kemi Badenoch is the overwhelming odds on favourite to win. But the strange quirks of the electorate means that there could be a shock in store

It's brilliant really; I couldn't give a flying fuck which of them wins...they're both so appalling with the potential to do even more harm to the brand, I just wouldn't be able to choose between then if I could.

For now. There'll be another in a few years

Yep. I don’t expect whomever wins will be leader at the next election tbh…

"Strange quirks" is an interesting way to spell "racism".

 

[Petcha]

They're both vile but apparently it's Badenoch, by a fairly big margin

 

[cupid_stunt]

You have got too laugh!

Badenoch and Jenrick both unpopular with public at large, poll suggests - and even more now than at start of contest​

But there is other polling around that should be much more sobering for the next Conservative leader – whether it is Kemi Badenoch or Robert Jenrick. YouGov has released polling figures about the two candidates, and it suggests the public at large don’t like either of them very much.

Yes, but according to the I this morning, polling is suggesting the Tories are now ahead of Labour after the budget

Which, of course, is totally meaningless, just a typical kneejerk reaction to a tax raising budget, well over 4 years before the next GE.

Still, not as bad a time to become the new leader as it could have been. Is this why they've drawn it out so long? Till after the budget and the inevitable backlash?

 

[nino_savatte]

Whoever wins, what's the betting the new fuhrer leader will put forward Boorish Johnson for a peerage?

 

[pbsmooth]

I didn’t realise the chairman of the 1922 committee was a Blackman.

Badenoch

Called it.

 

[philosophical]

It is Badenoch

 

[Indeliblelink]

By over 10K votes.

 

[cupid_stunt]

It's Badenoch - 53,806

Jenrick - 41,388

Number of members eligible to vote: 131,680 Turnout: 72.8%

Spoilt ballot papers: 655 (610 unmarked or void, and 45 rejected because they voted for more than one candidate)

 

[skyscraper101]

She's the more formidable candidate. Jenrick was always a dud and basically the result of Cleverly's fuckup.

I wonder how many spunking cocks there were.

And if the party were still in office it would be up to those 131, 680 to choose the prime minister.

 

[krtek a houby]

The Trump/Badenoch alliance will be interesting.

 

[Lotte]

Badenoch was a shoo-in. I hope to fuck she doesn't become PM, because I'm autistic and she will actively make life even worse for people like me.

Krtek, I'm sure he's happy to work with Badenoch because she's as much of a hard-right nutcase as he is. Although she is also a woman and women are the inferior species.
