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.

Chope has proven time and time again he’s a complete dinosaur with dubious views on women.

I don’t think his view is probably too unusual of his generation however, I am still asked with some frequency ‘if I work’ or ‘will I go back to work’ - while being my household’s main breadwinner.

No one ever seems to ask men these questions!

Considering the average age of a voting member of the Tory Party is over 64 Chope is more likely to be close to their views.

He voted against a bill because he dislikes the parliamentary procedure that was being used to pass it through.

That turned out to be untrue, as he turns out to have voted for a number of them, which were proposed by his friends. Who'd have thought it, a hypocritical, dishonest politician!

She shouldn’t be leader of the opposition for several reasons however having children isn’t one of them.

Love the way her having children is an issue but not her vile views and inability to fact check when publishing literature.🤔

I'm hoping Kemi will be the next leader of Torys as I think she really understands the awful danger women's rights are currently in.
Chope seems quite desperate to find anything he can to sling at her.

Are you serious. There is plenty Chope can sling at her.
