Kemi Badenoch elected as Tory leader

[Locutus2000]

This will be entertaining.

If we don’t start investing in climate related issues there won’t be a global market for much longer.

She wasn't my first choice but I'm very happy. Well done Kemi 👏
Also very happy with the poll of voting intentions after this god awful budget.
Onwards and upwards.

I think her views are awful. Historically I voted Tory but never will again until they move back towards the centre.

I don't care about the colour of the leader. I do care about their views.

The uks contribution to net zero will make precisely no difference. It's just to make people feel better.

Nasty. But then the left are at heart.

I feel the same. I am a centrist through and through and feel politically homeless now.

Which policies do you think that about?
we have an opportunity to build a strong green economy and become a globsl
leader in green tech.
what climate issues are we ‘spending a fortune’ on?
Most measures to reduce carbon emissions also save money eg energy efficiency, renewables

Is here to promote Israel needs rather than Britain's priorities.. and will never be PM in any case

No it helps build a healthier more resilient economy which will benefit everyone.

on the right of the party,has unpalatable views regard mental health & workers rights. Disapproves of current maternity leave provision
ghastly woman leading moribund out of touch party

Why do you think it’s making us poorer?
Relying on imported fossil fuels is making us poorer for sure.

She's good. Much better than "Free Gear Keir" at any rate...

This is a a disgraceful and inherently racist comment. It implies people like Sunak, Badenoch and Braverman are being used by their own party and do not have a mind of their own. It also implies you think people of certain skin colours should all have the same political opinions and that black and brown tories are the wrong sort of black and brown people. Shame on you.

Be interesting to see if she manages to hang on til the next GE.

I am looking forward to seeing her run rings round Starmer

Have been listening to Radio 4 since about 6.30am and there has been no interview with Kemi Badenoch outlining her policies. Just had a quick search and it would appear the last time she was on R4 was 2nd October. Would be grateful if you could point me in the direction of this impressive policy revealing interview which I have clearly missed.

She’ll be gone within a year anyway

Same for Keir Starmer

Me too however he has taken to completely ignoring questions in the HC at the moment.

If you want to reduce people fleeing climate change, you need to invest in climate issues.

Tell that to the family of the kid who recently died and had “air pollution” as the official cause of death on his death certificate.

Google it. Dont be lazy.

She's not bleeding Rumpelstiltskin you know! Her name isn't secret knowledge-it's the first thing on her Wikipedia page!

Nonetheless, @goawaynottoday what a nasty little post dripping with barely concealed racism.

How unpleasant the far left are.

And stop starting and continuing wars.

Not really. Historically, Labour leaders who've just won massive majorities go at a time of their choosing, whereas Tory leaders who get elected after the party has just badly lost a GE... not so much.
