Kemi Badenoch and Suella Braverman ‘fight’ for Tory leadership | Joe Mayes 

Does the times realise labour are in power?

I dont know who edits your videos but that snippet at the beginning is totally pointless.

Just when you thought they'd reached their lowest point...

scraping the bottom with bottom feeders they should get some back benchers in and start fresh without the stench of the last lot of cabinet members

Wow! Eight minutes to say nothing at all. Well done! 😅

Kemi Badenock could argue in an empty room.

Braverman is 6th favourite on the exchanges at about 30/1 probably higher if you tried to get a better price... why is the Times continually sticking her face on their postings.. clickbait?

This country is crying out for 'boring' politicians who actually get things done. We need more houses, less immigration, more training, more staff in dysfunctional government departments that have been rendered not fit for purpose by austerity, more green energy, and a plan. Labour clearly is going in this direction, the Tories are still a bunch of toddlers squabbling over the crayons.

With the main contenders for a new Conservative leader being Badenoch, Braverman and Cleverley (please God NO!) the long grass is going to be occupied for a long time yet.

Where were these army chiefs when the Tories cut all the funding? Amazing how they've suddenly just now found their voices.

Tories are now the best comedy show. Used to be like this in government which was terrifying

Who hollowed out the military?

Why would Starmer spend money before a rewiew of what's actually needed. It's not like the generals have made good spending calls to date.

Neither. No blacks calling the shots here. They should both go and work for Farrage. The tory party is done. Labour is a dead man walking.

What a disaster the country would be under her. God save us all.

If either of these women win, or Pretti, it will represent a move to the far right

Fighting over the captaincy of the Titanic after it sank? What would be the point.

Suella Would make a better pm than Sunak, but I'm never voting Tory again, so it doesn't matter to me.

Point: If Trunp becomes president, he has said that he would move quickly to conclude the Ukraine war- so it would notmake sense to extend financing until that election is concluded.

I wouldn’t trust a politician with bad in their name

Dogs fighting over a meatless bone.

Im here for it. Two of the most disgusting Tory MPs. I say this as a black woman.

Completely irrelevant. Neither will be leader of the opposition in four and a half years

Better suella join the reform Uk which suits her ideology

So your party JUST got trounced and your potential plan is to put Cruella DeBraverman in the top spot going forward? Seems like you must want to stay in the minority long term 🤷‍♀️

Either of them would be more than capable of burying the party for good.

Dream scenario: Braverman to win and Badenoch to join Farage at Reform.

Starmer's priority is to fix broken Britain. A Britain the Tories broke over 14 wasted years.

Just wait until Pritler throws her name in to the conversation too!

Bring back Liz Truss or Nadine Dorries as leader

All you will get with Starmer is the boring bit i'm afraid.

Instead of rushi thought these two ladies would have been pm.both excellent if got right team behind.

Come on Suella, join us , join REFORM UK

I wouldn't waste my time voting for them. Pass the sick bag

If I were Kier Starmer and was going to Washington, I would get Biden to invest in UK's defense industrial complex that is tiny but really part of that of the U.S. The American private equity funds recently bought a huge number of commercial properties in the UK and limited their exposure by barrowing from UK banks (i.e. Bank of England), quite cheeky and dangerous if you ask me. The conservatives let it go through for a number of reasons, not all possibly quite Kosher. The Bidens main legislation has injected massive amounts of subsidy into the market about which European are not happy. US's military budget is huge and controversial in many ways. Given all the above, I think Americans should feel obliged to help the UK military to go back to the standards that used to be. So, there is an argument for Biden to help with the necessary budget that can be built into one of numerous American acquisition protocols. Starmer's government needs money above what can be borrowed on the market. The Americans could return the all the favors the U.K. has done by being what Gore Vidal called a U.S. stationary carrier off the cost of Europe. So, in that sense they are really helping themselves and the U.K. has the know-how and manpower to get in and start supporting NATO. So in terms of budgetary issues, I don't see a problem here, especially for once Brexit could be of some use because the EU can't object to U.K. subsidising its industrial sector. Maybe, I am missing something, but I just see no problem when it comes to sorting our the military sooner than later. Please tell me if anyone sees things differently. It is so obvious that I wonder why conservative didn't try. It could be that Biden was not too happy with them when they went against U.S.'s advice and Boris Johnson attacking Obama in that vile fashion and endangering the peace in Northern Island. But all this is history now and Biden bringing up the special relationship for once first instead of forcing the junior partner pointing it out as usual is a sign that Biden too is happy to see the back of Trump like mess that was Boris Johnson. I think Biden is open to suggestion. You can add to it the U.K. not making too much noise by NOT making forceful statements on the Gaza issue which is what Biden could do without at least until after the election. I think, all this adds up to a rare serendipitous opportunity that a clever politician should not let it get away. Am I wrong?

Just need the third one now. Standing around the Tory cauldron fighting over who will hold the spoon.....great cartoon

We really really don't care

Really scraping the barrel now!

The tiny Tory party is practically extinct.

What are the other conservative MPs doing surely any man and his dog can do a better job than cruella desilly and kemi narcissist?

Really tories going voting to this women no lessons learnt

Braverman is a dog in every context... named after a character from Dallas ...

Kemi is marking her territory now and setting the bar she is abrasive but we need thi9s in a leader not the self absorbed bravermana nd pitell etc,

Both needs to be cancelled to stand for conservatives leader

'I'm free' I don't like to boast, but Communist as I am, I would be a better leader of the Tory Party than any of the touted candidates And I shall explain why! First of all, although I am of German-Jewish and Irish descent I possess a greater real affection for the English than Farage or Badenoch, of Priti Patel or Michael Gove. And I have affection for its culture, and even silly things such as afternoon tea, and the English Breakfast, and even its whimsy and incongruities. I love its landscapes, and its weather, and I love its institutions such as the MCC, and Wimbledon, and its natural life. I do not like hunting, but I can think of arguments in favour of it, better ones than Cameron has produced, and I love its diversity, and I love its literature and its language, one of the richest languages I know. , I have never heard a recent Tory Party politician mention any of that, just ideology of reaction. I love its traditions and I find that I have more in common with Methodist North of England, and the Chapel Traditions of Wales, and I have not a little sympathy with Ireland, and Scotland, which have been badly let down by Unionism. I have a love affair with the UK, and it is built on things you do not hear mentioned. The many different dialects, the interesting ways and expressions that are part of my experience, despite being away from it often, and loving France, and Germany and Italy. You only have to read some of the books which are so British, so totally and ineffably rooted in the experience of all of us. I could honour British Rail more than to sell it off, and the British Police, it is not that any of these are without faults but none the less they have generally a disposition to serve the public, and I admire the fact that they don't have guns. I love the British service uniforms, they are so totally without pomp, I admire its history, although I am not impressed by slavery or colonies. There are memories, I love the BBC, before it was subverted by Murdoch, the TUC, the eccentricity of this people, but you do not here about that. It is not that I would want no change, no reform, I would strengthen the Privy Council, I would want a Royal Family of the style of Princess Anne, who I adore. As for the incongruities, well if you have been in Science, then you get to know some people of all classes, and actually when you have something in common, there are no classes. The secretary of a Natural History Trust who was a Weaver, and the president who is a duke, and you would not know because their passion is Warblers, or you meet a former foreign secretary, and although we were initially expected to disagree, actually we shared a passion for opera, and cricket, and we forgot the accents, and we forgot the ideology and by the end of the week-end we were friends, and if I were meet him again, I know what I want to say to him. Something I forgot to mention. I recall driving on the Foss way on one of those summer days that English weather produces, and I recalled Ken Russell's film on Elgar and as the sound of Elgar's Introduction and Allegro for Strings recaptured the exhilaration of the English landscape a tractor came out of a farm driven by a Sikh, in a Turban, and true to the English nature I did not want to drive him away, I was just exhilarated by the contrasts, this diversity, that David Starkey denies, but it is there, and I want to conserve it, to cherish it, and that is what united those of us that Love England, as part of the UK, not as an enclave of nastiness and resentment and grievance but our all round eccentricity. But I do not hear that from these pretenders, these frauds, that ingratiate themselves with the worst. So if the Conservatives want a leader that can restore their fortunes, old as I am I think I could help, and I offer myself, as a candidate. They won't have to worry about my age, or my Yorkshire accent, they won't have to worry if I prefer Beethoven to Delius, or prefer Thomas Mann to Patience Strong,. I took a German woman, one of the many that small men adore, as goddess, because they are blonde, and have taste in dress, and... well never mind that is our business; but she said that no orchestra she knew could perform a program of Bizet, Haydn and Tchaikovski in one night and do justice to them all, as a British Orchestra, and she was delighted with Even-song in an English Cathedral. I took a Russian Colleague to the Barbican to see Turganev's 'A Month in the Country' and he said he had not seen a better production in any language as that. We are good ,actors, good musicians; a Lancashire girl was toast of Europe in the Post war years, but you don't hear of any that from the modern reactionaries, masquerading as Conservatives. The conserved nothing, they dismantled, eviscerated, it was not the immigrants, it was a an alien reactionary ideology that has damn near wrecked the country and almost destroyed the best of England and to all appearances, wrecked our Morale . So just call if you want a leader instead of a posture, and empty rhetoric and Ideology, grievance, resentment and recrimination. As they said in the Television Program. 'I'm free.'

God she should join Netan......... They have a lot in common.

Badenoch and Braverman, these are the options Tories have for leader? Shows just how far they have fallen.

Suella should join Reform, if the Tory party keeps attacking her, as they will just vote in another lame Duck who won't stop what most people want stopped.

Both unfit.

Anything interesting? or just gossip, waste of time!

Suella propaganda evil , still trying her best but never gonna achieve what she look for

I wonder about the prospect of cat-fighting to be honest. To be serious though if anyone has seen women fighting it's not an attractive sight though - pulling hair and everything. Grim.

Both are useless. Power greedy.

Ng v Pk 😂😂😂

REFORM

The last malteser was booted out rather nicely.
