Kemi Badenoch, who has previously described the UK's 2050 net zero emissions target as “unilateral economic disarmament”, now says that she is committed to it. The heat must be getting to her.
Tom can return to tugging his helmet. Sorry, hat. He was in Afghanistan you know, he might have forgotten to tell you that.
It’s a stupid process though, isn’t it? Let the career MPs that are generally remote from their constituents whittle the field down to the two candidates most likely to give them a job and then ask the party faithful to choose the least **** because their preferred candidate was dumped out beforehand.
Badenoch is surely next to go. Will her supporters go for Truss or Mordaunt? Suspect Truss, and she will go through with Sunak to a members' vote. Then Truss wins, and gives Badenoch a good job.
Colin Brazier @colinbrazierGBN Boris took control of an RAF Typhoon fast-jet today. I have a feeling the last weeks of the Johnson premiership will take on a bucket-list quality. please log in to view this image 1
“I’m looking at the candidates", says one MP, "and I'm beginning to think we should never have dumped Boris"
Exactly my thoughts. MPs choose the final two, but the members' preferred choice won't get that far. Then it's a choice between crap and slightly less crap. Truss and Rishi completely leave me cold. With one of those two taking over, nothing will change apart from the Boris circus. Neither one will win the next election imo.
