Braverman, Badenoch or even Farage: who is going to be the next Tory leader | LBC 

Jesus, that guy reminds me of why I will never vote Tory 🤮

Suella Braverman....She's beyond Evil & enjoys her Cruelty.

Watching Braverman and Patel trash each other would be worth the popcorn. Still the Toxic Tories.

Doesn't much matter who is at the 'head', when the whole party and its ethos is rotten to the core...

Matt Vickers’ comparison to Labour regrouping and recovering since their 2019 defeat isn’t accurate. Labour hasn’t been busy wrecking the economy while treating the public to their self obsessed psychodrama since 2019.

Please let it be Braverman. That will guarantee another huge Tory defeat in 2029.

Narcissists don’t have insight though.

I see the Tory’s still get interviewed as if they’d won something 🤔😂

take the message the voters gave you and FO. Don't let the door hit you

Nothing about elderly people being sent back to care homes and about 40,000 of them dying as a result!😡

Dodging the questions - they have learned nothing. The tories deserve 10 years in the wilderness (at least).

If you actually listen to what Vickers is saying in this interview, it's painfully clear that he hasn't learnt anything about why the Cons lost, despite him banging on about reflecting on what happened. He really doesn't seem to get it, does he?

How dare these people talk about the supposed fear their constituents have about what a Labour government will mean for them, when we've spent the past 14 years helplessly watch the Tories destroy every part of the country. At worst, Labour will be no better than what we already have and at best we'll see some improvements. But most of all, Im looking forward to a government who takes their roles seriously and acts like adults. Will it be perfect? Absolutely not, because no government is. But will it constantly attack the poor, the vulnerable and the sick? Will it demean our core values as a country? Will it take the country as a bunch of idiots who must "do as we say but not as we do"? Will it show complete disdain (and cruelty) to those who didn't vote for them? No.

There will be a massive demand for therapists to treat Relevance Deprivation Syndrome.😁

Vickers has a very selective memory. He's only bullshitting himself.

This bloke doesn't think the Tories deserved to lose ??????

Everyone knows what they stand for now, greed and corruption sadly.

have you noticed something especially sickening from some of these losing Tories: they bleat on about jobs lost by their staff. HOW MANY MILLIONS of Brits LOST THEIR JOB THANKS TO BREXIT? How many lost their business, thanks to Brexit?!! He Cries for HIS STAFF??? Jesus.

So, David Cameron with 36.1% of the votes in 2010 also did not have a mandate ?

The Cons still obsessed with Boris is what continues to lose them support.

The tories literally don't have a single half decent human in the party 😂😂

Praying that Braverman or Patel get the job. Need to keep the Tories in the wilderness for as long as possible.

Oh my dawg, even with zero sting this mp is still hedging his bets and avoiding straight answers

"we should've listened more", well why didn't you??

There is still no honesty within the Tory party as to why it was annihilated, until that happens it cannot rebuild itself because the same issues will still exist.

They are doomed with Braverman/Patel

How do words like "incompetent" and "corrupt" not come up more?

Sure, the party is in a downward spiral - why stop now? 😂

"We must listen to the message from the public..." OH, I think the message was pretty clear pal. F.O.

He didn't actually answer one question.

"we're a broad church, the broader the better" when asked if he would support an open Hitlerite in his party. Says it all really

Olukemi Olufunto Badenoch is a liar and a bully

Why is there NEVER any talk of turnout when the Tories win,there have ALWAYS been more people NOT wanting the Tories with percentage of the electorate,but when they get in it is NEVER an issue.

If this guy thinks sticking with Boris would have solved Conservative trashing he has learnt nothing

lewis shows why they are out...cant even admit boris was a total liability .Unquestioning Loyalty to a pathological liar who like minded sociopaths

The tories are in a position where under their own rules, a leadership contest is triggered by as little as 19 MPs giving letters of no confidence. They are 100% in a long term crisis as the extremists wont let the moderates normalise the party. Love to see it.

Excuses, excuses, excuses. Pathetic and disgusting. How about the introduction of the Austerity lie and work your way from there. Being a Tory is why they failed.

I'm still shocked that these horrible torys got voted back in.

The leadership fight will be like "Cats in a sack" fighting away, trouble is Farage is holding the sack......he will drown the winner..🙈😳

Have you seen the numbers of young people who say they would consider voting tory? They're dinosaurs walking.

“We are going to get together and work out what went wrong”…. And I’m sure at the end of your various meetings, you will conclude it wasn’t your fault.

Whoever the next leader is, they won’t be there for long. My guess is 3 leaders before the the next GE

Truss "era"??????? 😂😂😂😂😂 . Lettuces don't last as long as eras. That's a scientific fact.

There is not going to be an internal reflection, they still feel totally entitled.

The fact he thinks Johnson should have remained leader tells me they are not worthy of office.

Yes the Tories have lost support, and they've lost MPs, but far more problematic for them is that they've entirely lost political credibility amongst voters of any persuasion. Numerous policies they pursued during 14 years of Government have one after another, been unmitigated disasters for the nation, and it will not be forgotten. Now, as a small and pretty much powerless opposition, and an ever present reminder of the source of the calamity to be repaired, rebuilding any level of public confidence in them is going to be a nigh on impossible task. This unfocused and disconnected mess that the Conservative Party has become should be dissolved and (perhaps) reformed IMO.

Yesterday's people. No longer of any relevance.

"many"... Is this now the appropriate word to talk about conservative MPS?

The interview at the end is exactly why people are sick of the Tories. Dodging questions, shifty answers or no answers at all. Contrast that with Labour give so far. Direct, answering like real people.

It doesn't matter the damage has been done. This election was the most important in my 71 year life.

Braverman, Bad Enoch what a choice 😂

There's a very simple reason why the Tories got obliterated. It's because, not only did they fail to deliver, but they left the country in a worse state than when they started. Moreover, they took great pains to feather their own nest, whilst ignoring the electorate. Guess what, we noticed.

Suella can you consider joining Reform party you would be fantastic in there

Don't double cross us nigel

If the choice for Tory Party leader comes down to Badenoch, Braverman, or Farage, then the toxic Tories really are doomed.

One half of the Uniparty has been sent packing. The other half is just a matter of time.

The 'man' has a GOVE dolly on his shelf and a picture on the wall that would suit a teenager's taste from Athena 1993! Wow...

"there's a lot of reflection to be had to ... look at where we went wrong" - it's bleedin' obvious mate!

If Vickers wants to listen to what the people have told them why hasn't he bogged off?

All Starmer will have to do is point out the ones who supported and defended Johnson during partygate and they won't have a leg to stand on.

the tory says they have to reflect... then when asked to reflect he still dodges lol

The problems were many and varied, but the analysis that they were "insufficiently conservative" presupposes that there is, somewhere, a consensus about what it means to be conservative. Historically, the One Nation conservatives are the ones in line with what the party has been for most of itse existence, but there are now several generations who were brought up thinking that Convervatism is Thatcherism (and a fairly stark, harsh version of Thatcherism at that, one which Thatcher herself might have balked at). Everyone who says - and lots of them are going to say it over the next few months - that ther problem is insufficent conservatism will have their own idea of what that means and unless and until that can be resolved they're facing a long time in the wildnerness. And in general that is something that we should celebrate, it's just a shame that we have Farage's mob lurking in the wings as a reminder that awful as the Tories have been, there are options that are even worse...

Shuella or pretti same views as reform blame immigration never MP fault

Idea for the Tory leadership contest. Squid Game.

Feel so sorry for these Tories they have worked 'hard' for 14 years and these people have families to feed and Sky tv to pay for 🤣🙃

His only reflection is deciding which side to back to benefit him only. No reflection on the public's decision.

Even now, after theyve been smashed to pieces, torys still cant give a straight answer.

Goodness gracious the Tories are lurching **even more** to the right! And Braverman talking about her Party's "idiotic" strategy: she was part of the problem with her culture war obsession and xenophobia!

Cruella/Suella/Patel - Wow they really didn’t learn the first time round - Ensures Starmer for the next 10 years. . .

Matt Vickers avoiding answering jounalists questions and not being straight with people is exactly what people hate about politicians. Keir Starmer is now looking like a PM we can all rely on and be proud of because he answers journalists questions in a straight, honest and respectful manner, judging by his first statements as PM yesterday. I don't think it matters who is the next Tory leader- Labour will likely win even more votes in the next election and the Tories will go the way of the Dodo.

You have James. You have Democracy. And then, you have people who should NEVER be given a platform or voice!

Why did the Tories lose? BREXIT!!!!!!!!!!!! ("get Brexit done".... and GB got a deal, but lost the war)

If it’s any of those 3, its time to leave the country

Vickers is absolutely bonkers for thinking that Boris Johnson could have stayed on. He should never have been put in that position of Prime Minister at all!!!

This politician is the perfect example of the party's complete inability to look honestly at its conduct and endlessly spouting word salad weasel words instead of effective and genuine governance.

Couldn't care less about the tories...

It speaks to the obtuseness of the British public that not only did Braverman kept her seat comfortably but is in the running for Tory leader and potentially future prime minister.

The rotten started with Johnson how he got rid of the Tory old guard proven lieher promises lots delved nothing but heart ache truss put the last nail in the coffin with her min budget you lot done everything possible move the broder on constituency

They still don’t get it , we want an end to all the drama,division,hate ect , they need someone we haven’t seen before

Pity they didn't get demolished into 4th place! After 14yrs, they still don't get why they lost...amazing!

" Democracy is a funny thing" lol

It doesn't matter who runs as head of the party , if they don't ALL AGREE 100% with each other . Some left ,some centre right and some goes along with anyone . They need to seperate .

Ridiculous how he's hedging all his answers as though he has a political career worth defending. This is what people are sick of.

Set the rules, you mean shaft the members! By the time they get to vote their candidate of choice will have been 'weeded out' and they will be left with the Pointer Sister. Apologies to the Pointer Sisters.

"People are very concerned what this Labour government means for them, whether it be tax or immigration" - hilarious! Highest immigration under the tories and highest tax for 70 years under the tories!

One nation Tories pls. No Bravaman, Patel definately no Coconuts.

Braverman will take the Conservative party to the hard right ✅️ and park her tanks on Reform's lawn. I don't think that will have a huge appeal to the electorate.

The country has already rejected the far right. Which part of that are the Tories struggling to understand?

The fact that the members ultimately choose the next leader is a huge issue, given they’re mostly on right wing of the party, they preferred Boris & Truss! Will they change the rules for the MP’s to make the final decision?

Just 20 letters to the 1922 needed for us to enjoy the merry-go-round of their incompetence. Hopefully they manage 3 changes in 5 years again.

Whats the point now. REFORM

They lost the support years before the election, it just manifested in the lose of MPs at the election. The failure to improve the life of the average person caused this. They failed to improve the economy in a noticeable fashion, they failed to make people happy, they failed to reduce the count of food banks, they failed to deliver any promises. There is a theme to their time in parliament, and it begins with F.

I think the first thing the tories should do is hire better public opinion polls because they didn't appear to have any idea what the public thought was important. Not a clue.

Guys like this should never be able to be a politician. Just load of hot air with absolutely no substance

Badenoch would be the best choice or Cleverly who isn’t that clever

The blank cheque will have consequences and most of them for ordinary people will be positive

I’m not expecting Nigel to actually stay, he’s got no power, and has to share what little he does with 4 other people,

Any Tory who says they should have stuck with Boris (would I lie to you ) Johnson completely lacks a moral compass and is not fit to sit in Parliament

Beauty contest? I remember playing Monopoly as a kid. When someone picked the card which said 'You have won 3rd prize in a beauty contest ...' we'd all shout out - "Farmer Brown's pig came first!" Happy daze!

It’s always funny hearing the Tories talk about the damage for years to come by voting for a labour government with no self awareness for what they have done.
