I think the true blues want a Netanyahu-like figure to emerge.

Nigel Farage would be more fitting fo Britain than Bibi.

I was always a fan of Kemi, hope she gets it as she will make mincemeat of Sir 2TK.  My only doubts about her relate to her relationship with Gove.  She needs to cast him totally away.

Cleverly would have been a terrible choice.  I've met him and I never trust a man (or woman) who talks to you with their hands in theoir pockets.  Also srtuck me as a person with the most inappropiate name.

Personally I don't give a damn if she can or can't do that, the country needs fixing first and foremost.

What has she every done ? Her prime qualification for leadership seems to be that she once worked at MacDonald's.

Maybe she talks the talk, but as Dominic Cummings once said, " Putting on a good show on Newsnight for a politician, is far more important than fixing a serious problem." 

[Old_Geezer]

She used to talk the talk but seemed to capitulate to the past Tory cabinet's view and seemed less impressive doing so. Besides she doesn't seem to want to promise to leave the ECHR so looks like she wouldn't even though it's necessarily to sort the issues that are being effectively ignored.

...necessary...

Mystic Atheist predicts that Tories will commit suicide sometime in the next year.

I hope they do - and all switch to Reform!

[Atheist]

I think that neither Jenrick nor Badenoch would have the charisma to outdo Farage. If they go down the Reform-style route, they'll be giving Farage the go-ahead to wipe out the Tories.

Labour will be delighted

You really do have in in for Kemi dont you Khandro, the "dreadlocks" perhaps?

I am alsomunsure why you just cherry picked her sting in MAccy Ds' here is a bit more:

Software engineer at Logica 2003 to 2006.

Systems analyst at the RBS

Associate director at  Coutts to 2013

Digital director for The Spectaro  2015 to 2016.

 

What else would you like her to have done to be more suitable?

And she will strike fear into Labour, none of them, apart from maybe Wes and Rosie (who has now gone) are anywhere near up to her.

[Khandro]

I wonder why she didn't last long in any of those wide variety of jobs ? If she does become leader of the Tory Party I predict she won't last long at that either (and probably neither will the Tories).

[New Judge]

"I wonder why she didn't last long in any of those wide variety of jobs ?"

Many people, especially those who go into politics, tend not to staay in jobs for lengthy periods. They prefer a "varied" career. 

At least she has experience in the private sector - hopefully enough to understand that it is business that creates wealth and provides money for government to spend and not the other way round.
