According to Sir Christopher Chope, 77, Ms Badenoch should not be Tory leader as she has young children.

Is he a dinosaur? Vote YANBU if you think he is.

If a man who doesn't know quite how many children he has can be prime minister, a woman with young children sure as hell can be.

Can't win. If she didn't have kids that would be thrown at her, like they did with Kamala Harris in the US.

She shouldn't be opposition leader as she's not good at it. Not that I mind, as I've don't vote Tory so she can burn the party down if she likes.

Chope objects to everything, that's his purpose in life.
