That’ll be Jenrick then, can’t see the membership vote for a black woman. She would be hilarious though as she’s both incredibly stupid and arrogant. Both are nasty pieces of work.

Apparently she’s quite popular among the Conservative base. Jenrick might be a bit too Ukippy for them.

Yep you might be right. And let’s not forget that the cons base voted for Truss so everything is possible… Regardless who wins, they’re both going to try and get voters back from Reform by lurching even further to the right.

Impossible to do so with an ethnic minority leading the conservatives. Racist/right wing britons won’t vote for an ethnic minority to be prime minister.

“conservatives are raciss lol”

Kemi will win as she’s been the favourite with the members all along, and Jenrick has the charisma of a wet tea towel.

General Discussion for politics in the UK.
Please don’t post to both !uk_politics@feddit.uk and !unitedkingdom@feddit.uk .
Pick the most appropriate, and put it there.

Posts should be related to UK-centric politics, and should be either a link to a reputable news source for news, or a text post on this community.

Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.

If you think “reputable news source” needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread. (These things should be publicly discussed)

Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.

Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.

!ukpolitics@lemm.ee appears to have vanished! We can still see cached content from this link, but goodbye I guess! :'(
