Kemi Badenoch elected as Tory leader

[Locutus2000]

This will be entertaining.

No you are sounding even more silly. What are these policies that are progressive, the ones that you apparently admire?

This has nothing to do with the colour of her skin or her sex. Indeed, it's racist to suppose that this makes her any better or worse at this or any other job.

By the way, I never usually do this but just can't resist here.

'These BAME women just dont know there place do they......'

It's their place (not there).

Raynor will never be the leader of Labour, they are not that daft

Angela is more like the UK’s Kamala Harris. I don’t believe she is anything like Kemi. Kemi is leaps and bounds ahead politically.

Oooh I bet Labour won’t like that. Excellent choice. Delighted 🤩

Rayner absolutely revels in her ignorance and lack of education. Kemi is extremely articulate. There’s no comparison.

She is an intelligent woman with steely determination, who has achieved something amazing. For that I am proud of her.

While her politics is not my cup of tea, I look forward to her taking the PM to task. I hope she doesn't disappoint.

What I admire about her courageous policy, it is progressive is her commitment to designing a proper plan for integration that has been woefully lacking in the UK for decades. She plans to control the numbers of new arrivals and we might finally secure the borders. To finally deliver the wish of most British people.

I believe she is unafraid to speak her mind and she is just what this country needs.

You do actually need to listen if you want to know, as she ran a good campaign about how she'll formulate her policies

I am pretty sure Labour would be more nervous if Cleverly got the leadership job

Fucking hell. Back in the real world, people don’t care that much about “woke”. People are more concerned about actually being able to afford their homes and feed their children. Outstanding that posters on here think that Kemi is amazing for women just because of her views on trans people. She’s actively voted against women and children’s best interests her entire political career. How can you be so consumed by hatred of a tiny tiny group of people you’d be willing to overlook that. Disgusting.

I don't think so, are you a Labour voter or Conservative? (or both / other)

Hatred is normalised now.

Really? If I were a Labour person I'd be delighted. I'm not a Labour person and I'm delighted.

It's a bit weird that the Tory party have chosen today to announce their new policy wrt Votes of No Confidence. They could have just let her have her moment.

Not really, depends doesn’t it. Some WOC are on average more educated and wealthier than their white counterparts. We aren’t all poor and oppressed.

Awful woman. I am a member of the Labour Party, but I think this important to have a strong and credible opposition. This appointment does not help anyone.

@EasternStandard
Are you taking a poll of voters? Why would you do such a thing....

😁

Let’s just remind ourselves where those higher mortgage rates suddenly sprang from before we start name calling.

I think it's good that both Labour and Conservative voters are delighted she's been elected. Who'd have thought that?

Obvious result. Horrible woman.

Or her voting history when it comes to making abortion easier to access ?
She is not on women’s side. I encourage everyone to look up her voting history in general, quite an eye opener.

I have heard her speak a few times and am perfectly happy to listen to more. Indeed, we will all be forced to now!
I was responding to a couple of other posters who were suggesting that her policies were progressive. I have only seen regressive remarks from her myself. They haven't been able to respond and have resorted to insults which doesn't exactly create a great impression.

What are you implying let me guess... You're wrong but nice try.

I am interested in this line from Labour that Cleverly was the more imposing choice

I really don't see it. I'm delighted Kemi won, I think she has the best chance to win the GE too. It seems to me most who think Cleverly would be better are Labour voters. He would be a soft sell, and really not able to hold Starmer to account like Kemi is about to

I assume you mean the Tories, do you remember 14 years ago when Labour left the country bankrupt and someone has had to try and sort it? Same thing that will happen in 5 years, if they last that long

I agree. It's so sad how much hatred is in these people. These hateful politicians have convinced them that everyone else is to blame, instead of they themselves. Sadly, most people are not intelligent enough to see through the propaganda.
