To think Kemi Badenoch is starting to talk an increasing amount of sense

[Sonato]

Never voted conservative a day in my life.

Seriously comsidering it after recent performances

Yep I thought this after seeing how she stood her ground the other day when being challenged about defending the Jewish community x

Have you forgotten some of the things she did as a cabinet member? Some of the things she said (maternity pay and autism are two that I recall). She is currently able to say what she wants to win gullible people over! If she ever gets in power it would be a return to same old Tory policies of lining the pockets of friends.

I think it's because we're so used to political leaders, flip flopping, prevaricating, back tracking and trying to hold multiple ideological positions, we're all stunned to see somebody clearly state their views.

I think she's excellent and at the moment the Conservatives are the only party I'm considering voting for.

No thanks. I'm disabled and the Tories and Reform want to make my life and millions of people like me lives much harder.

If you’re talking in general then I disagree.

If you’re comparing her to all the other clowns leading the conversation, then I agree, but it’s a very very low bar.

YADNBU. We need her to gain popularity and wipe the floor with the rest of them. 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻

I was very impressed hearing her recently talking about bringing High Streets back to life, targeting all the money laundering "shops", encouraging/supporting small businesses etc. A politician who seems to finally "get it" when it comes to small businesses, unlike a succession of politicians over the last 30 years who hate small business and have consistently kicked them in the gutter!

The Tories broke this country and they'll say anything it takes to get back into power. All parties will
You could have any MP talking sense at any point. That doesn't mean I'll vote for their party

Austerity. Cost of living crisis? Who caused that? Do you think Tories care about poor people? Disabled people?

I don't vote Labour either and I'll certainly not be voting for Reform but I don't think it's a good idea to vote for someone on the basis of their personality (which in my opinion is deeply unpleasant no matter how she tries to hide it).

Yeears ago I wrote to my Tory MP about the gender bollocks,he raised my issues with Kemi & she wrote a personal reply to me as Women & Equalities Minister.

She is the only party leader coming anywhere near to impressing me & I am happy to see her popularity rising.

I've never voted Conservative before but I couldnt bring myself to vote for any of the other lot right now. Lets see how things progress.

Yes, people do have short memories when it comes to politics it seems. Also, it is very easy for an Opposition party to say things which will ‘do well’.

as opposed to the leaders repeating cult mantras like "TWAW" and dreadful antisemitism to ensnare the gullible "wolk folk" 😁

Jesus Christ. This video. What a fucking woman.

Absolutely not.

Wow, absolutely awesome. It needs saying. We need strong politicians like that.

I really rate her and will vote Tory in the next election because of her. I didn't vote Tory last time

I don't know about her in general, but she was fantastic in Billericay the other day as shown in the video up thread.

Compared to Zac "let's legalise all drugs" Polanski, Nigel " cancel ILR" Farage, and the even nuttier chap from Restore, I can see how KB would sound completely reasonable.

She's no friend to women.

I can't abide her or the Tories, I've never voted for them and I'm not about to start now, but she's bang on the money about antisemitism in this country.

Completely agree - Badenoch was in the position to create change when she was in various ministerial positions in a serving government. Now she's in opposition and has no power, it's very easy to 'say the right thing' but surely you'd have to question why those 'right things' weren't actioned when she/her party had the ability to do so.

I think she's great and will definitely vote Tory.

This is an interesting change.
I'm hoping the OP will share more on Kemi's fantastic achievements/performances, as I was of the belief she'd be gone before the next GE.

Agree. Brilliant 👏 👏

Ah but she was mulling apparently. 🙄

I had an opinion of her when she was in government. It hasn't changed.
