Jane Godley has died

Is it? I've been trying to find out how independent they are. They score very badly on Google reviews!

Oh RIP Jane 😔

Only 63. Great photo.

Oh that’s very sad R.I.P Jane

Sad. Great she got onto HIGNFY a couple of times ... and also a great voice on the News Quiz.

Her Nicola Sturgeon videos were very funny.

RIP Jane. Thanks for the photo, Duncin, she'd be proud to be remembered for it.

The Telegraph has no problems with foreign interference when it comes to Musk

Headline based on his reply to a tweet by a conspiracy theorist

Very sad news about Jane. Way too soon.

Yes, it's extraordinary that they've concocted a front page article- the leading article! - on the basis of American citizen Musk's reply to a right wing populist in the Netherlands.

As a teenager (long long ago) I read the Telegraph most days. We weren't allowed to watch breakfast tv. Either I am remembering it more fondly than I should do or it's gone quite mad.

I see Trump has gone the Full Frank Hester and started calling for violence against opponents

Musk. American citizen and immigrant.

Oh, the Tory leadership decision is imminent.

Ian Dunt thinks it's Badenoch as she looks less fraught

She was an absolute legend. This is my favourite photo of her.

RIP. 😢😢

I just spotted I missed out the y at the end of her name

Sorry Janey

Badenoch wins!

The electricity board will have plans for all the kettles that will be boiled ready for this ....

That will cheer up MN

Badenoch leader. How long will this last?

So having to deal with team Jenrick (and his elk).

Those popcorn manufacturer shares look like a good buy now.

Not long I hope. I just can't believe the Tories have sunk so low.

As a parody account said...
"Congratulations to Kemi Badenoch, who has won the race to lead the Conservative Party into extremist oblivion."

Some stats:

131,680 eligible voters.
72% voted.
655 rejected ballots
Badenoch: 53806
Jenrick: 41000 (didn’t catch the exact number).

131,680 is that total membership then?
