    Let's just close the Tories and file them under Bad Memories and move on!
  • @rogston39
    I honestly don't think the Tories realize how much contempt there is for them.
  • @georgemullens
    Braverman, Badenoch and Jenrick are absolutely terrible.
  • @jayr9952
    Kemi could begin an argument in an empty room.
  • Suella Braverman, the worst ever attorney general (you wouldn't use her to do your house conveyancing), worst ever home secretary, may as well go for the worst ever leader of the Tory party, though a hard one to achieve given Johnson and Truss.

    Couldn't care less we've only just got shut of them I've had enough of the tory leadership pantomime personally.
  • @Sausage1958
    Braverman could always get a job as Rwandas Officer for tourism she thinks so highly of the country.
  • Tory’s are history for at least a decade đŸ˜đŸ‘đŸ»

    Badenoch is incredibly arrogant but does not have the ability to back it up. He description of the trade deals were incoherent.
  • @AlanDevOps
    Irrelevant. These are not serious people.
  • @davidhall7744
    Im almost as mystified as I was when Liz Truss emerged as a leadership candidate now that Bad-enough is being touted. Is there something i’m missing? Everytime I see Bad-enough speak, it consists of nothing more than a blethering load of nonsense, pure word salad. I’m I alone in feeling this?

    Another Tory clown show restarts, whose gonna be next to lead the 121 MP,s sat in their tiny little corner of parliament whingeing from the sidelines,haha.
  • @kevinwilde
    all extremely right - wing prejudiced against people who are less fortunate in life. the British public deserves a well earned rest from these individuals. support left - wing true Labour.

    "Looking at the current state of play, Kemi Badenoch is probably the one to beat." question is, what with?
  • @FionaJane-vc2tw
    Whoever it is they won't win in 5 years time. We are all sick of toxic politicians.
  • @31Blaize
    Badenoch has even less self-awareness than Sunak and is far tetchier. Watching her at PMQs will likely not do the Tories any favours. Pick her!
  • Like "Cats in a sack". Trouble is Farage is holding the sack.....and will no doubt drown the winner.
