Seems the Tories have learned nothing from their absolute evisceration at the last general election, Jenerick will likely become the next bland and torpid leader and the party will continue to be essentially socialist and directionless.
Who cares they sold their souls and now they're done
People aren’t voting for these muppets
Who cares?
No more tory government for the next 10 years!
Result!
During the twenty teens a conservative leadership race was box office television the 1922 committee Announcements were must watch television Absolutely packed to the rafters with members journalists mps now it looks like an underage brothel that the police have just raided
Who cares?
Jenrick is too pro-Israel. Ask him to condemn the genocide and listen to what he says
Jenrick is a con artist who swindled a lot of properties. We cannot have him
Leftie Guardian showing Tory news…..Lol
There will be no Tory or Labour party left at the next election. The people can see clearly now, who they really are.
And your Guardian readership will keep falling, if you only ever post left centric drivel.
So what? Who ever is chosen as leader, they and the Tory party are irrelevant.
Who cares? The party is dead, let it go. It's like voting for who wants to be the next leader of the Soviet Union.
Can’t we just save a lot of time and money and just make Kier leader of both parties. It’s clear we only have the illusion of choice.
Tories are done and so are labour after what they have done in the last 6 weeks
all 5 Tories showed up….the last membership ballot elected Liz Truss
And Then Were None .
Jenrick represents more of the same dithering disaster that we saw from the Conservatives over the last decade or so – Badenock however could well make a superb new leader for the Party
Who gives a 💩 ?
Literally no-one cares. 😂
Literally none of us care. Why would it even matter.. elections arent for another 5 years
It is utterly insane that Robert Jenrick of all people is leading the race. He has done nothing noteworthy. Nothing at all. He was so bad as a junior minister the single time that he was one that he was fired and never assigned again. How on earth can this man be the leader of the opposition? What a joke the Tory party has become.
Mel Stride was quietly confident this morning on the BBC news.
Are they still at university with the banging on the table, grow up for Fsake.
What a waste of time
Who cares?
When is the guardian going to support the working people.
Come on tom!
So they’ve cut the smiling liar, in favour of the child hating liar.
Progress?
Really? 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Just give up folks. The country will have more respect for you when you’re doing other things, elsewhere.
