Again, not a Tory but I would've taken Cleverly.

The stories fuck this up quite often because they don't let members vote at earlier stages.

Starma will be lucky if he's still PM by Easter.

Also labour or conservatives won't be in power come the next election.

There aren’t any right wing candidates. The two left in are slightly right of centre.

One of the reasons the Conservatives lost the election is that they talked right but acted left. Their core voters either didn’t vote or voted Reform.

They’ve clearly not learned from the Labour Party. The Labour turned left when they lost power and stayed in opposition for the next 14 years

The Tories are turning right and will be out of power for the next decade at least.

The electorate are predominantly centrist.

This was always going to play out towards the right, and it will pull in the reform voters quickly. I expect the new leader of the conservative party to be replaced within 2 - 3 years to allow a swing towards centre.

Don't think either of them are Prime Minister material. It looks like the Tories are desperate to win back reform voters.

Between the two choices, I think Kemi would be good as an opposition leader. Hopefully someone else takes over by the next election.

It's irrelevant who wins. The so called Tory party is full of small c conservatives. In other words Blairites. Any real tory policies would be blocked by their own backbenchers.

With 12-24 months to go to the next election, Boris will re-enter the fray. He can unite the Tories and convince the country with far more personality and celebrity appeal than anyone else in UK politics. I'm not a fan as I think he's all mouth and no delivery but my money is on that happening because let's be realistic, the labour party didn't win the last election, the voters merely deserted the Tories and quite rightly so

What I anticipate is, Labour will drop Starmer when the tories make gains in popularity and bring in the left wing who have been impatiently standing in the wings.

Exactly, pull back the defectors must be their first priority.

Kemi, will deliver hard challenges to Starmer and restore some faith, but they know they can’t win an election with that approach.

You’ve an obsession with Starmer being replaced by some mythical left winger. It’s not going to happen mainly because he’s just been elected with the biggest majority in recent history and more importantly there is no left wing politician with that kind of backing.

If I was a gambler I’d bet on him winning the next election and then handing over to Burnham.

Don't think so.

Not really too fussed on what they have done so far.

WFA - Doesn't effect us. One couple we spoke to said they used their WFA to pay for Ryanair flights. Not quite sure it was meant to top up holiday fund.

It’s a bit like saying the Liberal Democrat’s tend to do well when they are not squeezed in the centre ground from both the right and the left!!!

It’s the same in the American elections where primaries of both the democratic and republican sides are won drifting to the left/right… but general elections are won in the middle! So the key normally is to try not to dragged so far left/right by your party based, that you can drift back

Problem with corbyn, and truss.. is they let the extreme base pick the person who couldn’t revert back!

This is such an irony. Most DEI fanatics are labour supporters and they haven't had a single female leader. Have they had a non-white leader?

Tory supporters are against forcing DEI and they already have multiple female leaders and a guy of Indian origin as PM.

I got it in the end, the reason I was confused is it echoes the scenario I suggested minus Starmer going... Tories end up centre after a short period leaning to the right, bringing back the reform vote and labour veering off to the left.

What I anticipate is, Labour will drop Starmer when the tories make gains in popularity and bring in the left wing who have been impatiently standing in the wings.

The labour party will veer left as conservatives go centre, the end of labour.

Labour’s only ever gone to the left after defeat so I’m afraid your wet dream has no historical precedent.

You’ve lost me, what are you saying exactly and what’s with the wet dream comment?

He is basically saying that Labour basically win when they play from the centre and lose when they lurch to the left… an historically.. he isn’t wrong

It’s a bit like saying the Liberal Democrat’s tend to do well when they are not squeezed in the centre ground from both the right and the left!!!

It’s the same in the American elections where primaries of both the democratic and republican sides are won drifting to the left/right… but general elections are won in the middle! So the key normally is to try not to dragged so far left/right by your party based, that you can drift back

Problem with corbyn, and truss.. is they let the extreme base pick the person who couldn’t revert back!

I got it in the end, the reason I was confused is it echoes the scenario I suggested minus Starmer going... Tories end up centre after a short period leaning to the right, bringing back the reform vote and labour veering off to the left.

"Cleverly was the centrist last best hope… this Tory party is lurching right… and probably gave starmer another election victory in 5 years time

This was always going to play out towards the right, and it will pull in the reform voters quickly. I expect the new leader of the conservative party to be replaced within 2 - 3 years to allow a swing towards centre.

Neither is likely to be around for long or able to lead a government but it's the odd minds of the members who have to be impressed. They got the lettuce loser, so will probably take Kemi.

There's little impression that any of them have learned much at all.

My guess is whoever wins will lead the Tories into the next GE but is highly unlikely to win unless Labour implode or continue as they started. Then they will go for someone else but no idea who as the cupboard looks bare

Jenrick being interviewed by Victoria Derbyshire last night was unable to say the word Sexist in regards to his supporter Christopher Chope saying the fact Badenoch had 3 children meant she couldn’t be leader.

I’m not sure if he’s worried about upsetting other MPs or the membership who remember when the little lady stayed at home baking cookies and making sure hubbies shirts were ironed.

Speak about twisting words and spreading false news. I just searched for what Christopher actually said:

"And, much as I like Kemi, I think she's preoccupied with her own children, quite understandably."

"But I think Robert's children are a bit older, and I think that it's important that whoever leads the opposition has got an immense amount of time and energy."

He didn't say that Kemi being a woman should spend time looking after her children. He says that Kemi IS spending a lot of time looking after her children. But Jenrick's children are older, which gives him more time to spend on political issues.

I don't agree with what Christopher said. But I don't see why he is being called sexist.

Probably because he didn’t see it as a problem with Cameron and his young children… or when boris Johnson and Carrie were popping out children whilst he was in office… or when Sunak and his wife were in office……

So men having young children around… fine

Women having young children around.. no so much! And if that’s the best reason he can give.. it’s not great!

God dammit you got me defending kemi! I feel so dirty!!!!

And Christopher chope is a prize bell end at the best of times! Having that man as a supporter is probably an overall negative anyway!!

You got me defending kemi!!! I need a bloody shower!!!

Between Jenrick and Kemi, I support Kemi too. But you are bending over backwards to call his remark sexist. I don't care much for Christopher either.

Right now, the contest is between Kemi and Jenrick. Christopher said that Kemi already spends less amount of time in politics compared to Jenrick because she spends more time with kids and hence he prefers Jenrick. He does not say that Kemi must spend more time. He says that she already does. So how exactly are you calling this a sexist remark?

I find his remark stupid, not sexist.

Yes. And they chose the best available candidate for the job. It goes totally against the belief that Tories are racist/sexist. They still stand by their principles of meritocracy.

Labour voters on the other hand seem to love the idea of quotas. So they are the ones who are saying one thing and doing another.

Also conservative leaders from the minorities know that the position they achieved is out of their own merit and be proud about it because they know they aren't "diversity hires".

The party needs a strong difference and a leader who will cause a problem for Starmer, that they now have and it pull the reform voters back too.

They wont win an election with that strategy, they need to move back centre, to do that before the next GE they need labour to implode and find the right leader.

"Fourth female leader of the Conservatives, second successive leader from a minority heritage.

Will Labour ever have a female leader I wonder ?

I thought the right don’t believe in quotas based on race or gender. Best person for the job and all that.

Yes. And they chose the best available candidate for the job. It goes totally against the belief that Tories are racist/sexist. They still stand by their principles of meritocracy.

Labour voters on the other hand seem to love the idea of quotas. So they are the ones who are saying one thing and doing another.

Also conservative leaders from the minorities know that the position they achieved is out of their own merit and be proud about it because they know they aren't "diversity hires".

True she used to be working class

At least she treats working class with much more respect instead of calling them illiterate people voting against "their own interests"

Labour voters on the other hand seem to love the idea of quotas. So they are the ones who are saying one thing and doing another.

Also conservative leaders from the minorities know that the position they achieved is out of their own merit and be proud about it because they know they aren't "diversity hires".

True she used to be working class

At least she treats working class with much more respect instead of calling them illiterate people voting against "their own interests"

Which member of the government said that?

Not current. But Barry Sheerman said that leave voters are thick and no action was taken against him

I’m sure I could find quotes from politicians of all parties that insult the electorate.

Yeah keep moving the goalposts

I think mentioning a quote from an ex labour MP on a thread about the new leader of the opposition is certainly moving the goalposts.

We were discussing about the party and its principles. Which party is sticking to the principles they speak about? Given that majority of working class voted to leave, calling them thick doesn't really sound like a party that's pro working class, is it?

When did he say these ‘hurty words’ Who said anything about hurty words?

"

Tbh, the only people who can judge Mr Sheerman are the electorate at the ballot box, he was a successful MP for 45 years until he retired , he won’t be distracted by people accusing him off saying ‘hurty words’

Why can't other people judge him? People sitting here are judging American politicians. Should we stop doing that? If Trump wins, will you admit that he is a good politician just because people votef for him?

I’ve not seen any data that showed the class of those that voted in the EU referendum. I’m not sure how they could possibly produce it.

Anyway this has got sod all to do with the OP."

You can search for brexit vote statistics based on social class. Working class voted for Brexit.

As for sticking to the topic, you just have to scroll up to see who brought working class issues into the debate.

Do you have the same attitude about Brexit? Because people voted for it.

Yes, Brexit is a disaster though , made worse by the tories but don’t worry, labour will sort it, it’s what the people voted for

Ah.. Now you admit people make bad choices. So democracy and "people's choice" are all great as long as it aligns with your own views?

Are you agreeing that Brexit is a ‘bad choice ‘ "

I didn't. You just called Brexit a disaster. You are also basing all your arguments on the basis of electoral outcomes. If that's the case, why do you oppose Brexit which was an electoral choice. Maybe try to be more consistent next time?

Hello there, I am afraid you’re not living in the real world, Brexit was 8 years ago, the general elecation was in July were SKS won a huge majority thrashing all opposition . Brexit is a disaster, and I hope we make closer ties with our EU neighbour and probably rejoin within the next 10 years. As the older generation Brexit supporting generation dies (unfortunately) they will be replaced with younger voters in favour of the EU, let’s put it to the people , the people will decide

Hello there, it looks like you have completely lost track of what we have been arguing

Anyway I will remind you. We were talking about Labour MP calling Brexit voters, who were predominantly working class as "thick". Your answer was that it doesn't matter because he won the election. So I asked you that if election results are always right, will you accept Brexit? Will you say Trump is good if he wins? When I asked these questions, you started repeating the same thing like a parrot "Labour won the election. Get behind". It doesn't make any sense in the context of what we are discussing.

Hello there, don’t worry about Brexit, labour will sort out that disaster, let’s get back to the op, Kemi, unfortunately she just isn’t up to the job, she is arrogant and in my opinion incompetent and can’t possibly compete with SKS who is a states man and has just won a huge majority at the last election. The tories should have gone for Cleverely , a far better choice

I’m guessing Badenoch will do okay.

I don’t think she needs to be that great, just fairly competent. She speaks her mind and seems to have some nuts.

We have a Labour government that is inexperienced, incompetent, ideologically driven, and has an unpopular and weak leader.

Labour seem to be out of their depth, the front bench is entirely staffed by people with no real world experience, and who come across as miserable robots who can’t communicate any kind of coherent plan or make any connection with the electorate.

The Tories have done nothing for four months and already the latest polling has them ahead. Starmer’s popularity is down 49 points since the election.

In no time at all Labour will be back skimming the electorate for more cash.

Should be an open goal for any mildly competent opposition leader.

"I’m guessing Badenoch will do okay.

I don’t think she needs to be that great, just fairly competent. She speaks her mind and seems to have some nuts.

We have a Labour government that is inexperienced, incompetent, ideologically driven, and has an unpopular and weak leader.

Labour seem to be out of their depth, the front bench is entirely staffed by people with no real world experience, and who come across as miserable robots who can’t communicate any kind of coherent plan or make any connection with the electorate.

The Tories have done nothing for four months and already the latest polling has them ahead. Starmer’s popularity is down 49 points since the election.

In no time at all Labour will be back skimming the electorate for more cash.

Should be an open goal for any mildly competent opposition leader."

Good point. What about Labour!

Hello there, this is the UK not the Soviet Union, Brexit was 8 years ago, it’s been a disaster, the tories made a hash of it , labour will rectify this disaster by closer links to the EU or rejoining in the future. I am afraid your not living in the real world if you think a vote 8 years ago that is a proven disaster is still the will of the people, things change . It’s unfortunate that your side lost the election but there is an old saying ‘you lost , get over it’

Hello there, it looks like you have completely lost track of what we have been arguing

Anyway I will remind you. We were talking about Labour MP calling Brexit voters, who were predominantly working class as "thick". Your answer was that it doesn't matter because he won the election. So I asked you that if election results are always right, will you accept Brexit? Will you say Trump is good if he wins? When I asked these questions, you started repeating the same thing like a parrot "Labour won the election. Get behind". It doesn't make any sense in the context of what we are discussing.

Hello there, don’t worry about Brexit, labour will sort out that disaster, let’s get back to the op, Kemi, unfortunately she just isn’t up to the job, she is arrogant and in my opinion incompetent and can’t possibly compete with SKS who is a states man and has just won a huge majority at the last election. The tories should have gone for Cleverely , a far better choice "

Again moving goal posts I see. Carry on

As a Labour supporter why do you think Labour and its leader have become so unpopular so quickly? I’d be interested to hear your analysis.

Assuming no sudden collapse, Labour obviously has time to turn things around but:

1. It needs to come up with some policies that have a wider appeal to the country at large and aren’t just aimed at Labour’s core voters.

2. It’s going to have to change its leader at some point. He isn’t up to the job, and neither are most of his front bench. Problem is these are the best they’ve got.

They’ve had an easy ride so far but Badenoch is tough, she will rip Starmer to shreds and he can’t take any criticism from people he thinks are his inferiors (ie everybody). For a barrister he is very slow witted. He’s just used to the ponderous rarefied atmosphere of the court and his management office. He is very thin skinned and has no sense of humour. He’ll just stand there seething.

I can see Kemi leading the conservatives into the next GE and likely loose, though maybe cutting the majority. Then they will change leaders again, but to who is something of a mystery at present. I don't expect Labour to continue as they have started otherwise she may have a chance. Maybe if the recent financial predictions are close then the mask of growing the economy over the long term that Labour make, will give her more ammunition

Only 120,000 people watch PMQs, it is irrelevant, opinion polls 5 years before the next GE are also irrelevant. SKS is the best man for the job, he won a huge majority at the election, he has a very difficult job to do and a few bitter , disgruntled people won’t bother him. He will be judged by the electorate at an election, that is all that matters

It's true. To repeat the old argument I made, we need to look at the principles of both the parties. Kemi most probably wouldn't even react to it. Even if she did, she would point out the stupidity of the post. Wouldn't ask for Dawn to be arrested because she is pro-free speech.

But Labour's supposed principles on the other hand... Will they stick to them? Or will they invent a special reason why this far-right racist tweet is fine?

If Kemi is offended by it then she should apologies, if not you are just virtue signaling

But millions of people watch the various news programmes, and the best bits of PMQs get shown on the news. If Kemi regularly embarrasses Starmer at PMQs, that's what people will see, and Labour will soon be looking for someone that can handle the questions better.

William Hague was brilliant at PMQs, he didn’t last long as leader as the opposition, to the vast majority how you perform at PMQs is irrelevant .

Good luck to her I say. We should be proud that a first generation immigrant can rise to leader of a major political party and possibly become PM. It says a lot about British acceptance and fairness imo. That aside, she urgently needs to unify the Tory party and stop the insane in-fighting. If she can do that, and Labour screw-up (high probability), she'll likely be our future PM.

She could have been our current PM if she had crossed sides to the labour party a couple of years ago.

Labour needs a non white female figurehead. They are falling behind in the 'Firsts' league. It could have been a smart career move for a go getter.
