Except (well just possibly)…
Kemi Badenoch
Pro-Brexit. Rebuffed woke and rebellious Civil Servants
when fighting for uni-sex lavatories. Backed by Michael Gove. (Kiss of death?)
(I watched Kemi’s presentation via YouTube and saw her enthusiastically
applauded by supporter and former Bexley Councillor Gareth Bacon alongside his wife Cheryl.)
Suella Braverman
Strongly pro-Brexit former Chairman of the European Research Group.
Will ditch Net Zero. (Eliminated 14th July.)
Rehman Chishti
Who? (MP for Gillingham and Rainham.) (Withdrew 18:00 12th July.)
Jeremy Hunt
God help us. (Eliminated 13th July.)
Sajid Javid
Favoured vaccine passports and compulsory vaccination of employees.
Yet another son of a bus driver. (Think Sadiq Khan.)
(Withdrew 18:00 12th July.)
Penny Mordaunt
Reluctant to say what a real woman is. Her brother suggested via Twitter
he can influence her further in that direction. (The last thing we need is another Carrie.)
Wrote one book with a foreword by Bill Gates and another in which she condemned
quintessentially pro-British films such as Lawrence of Arabia and The Dambusters.
Old British sit-coms are “a full house of casual
racism, homophobia, white privilege, colonialism, transphobia, bullying,
misogyny and sexual harassment”.
Grant Shapps
Funded Low Traffic Neighbourhoods and favours getting rid of motorway hard shoulders.
(11:30 12th July, dropped out in favour of Rubbishi Rishi.)
Liz Truss
Converted to being pro-Brexit after campaigning against it.
Pro fracking and concerned about Net Zero.
Tom Tugendhat
Committed to Net Zero. More connections to France than the UK. Remainer who allegedly changed his mind.
Nadim Zahawi
The short term Chancellor who is under investigation by HM Revenue & Customs.
Pro-Brexit. Luke warm about Net Zero. (Eliminated 13th July.)
With the exception of the MP for Gillingham and Rainham the above faces are those of a Government
that have brought the country to its present dire state. A country where come
next winter the average householder will be spending more than a third of the
state pension on electricity.
Having decided that I could no longer be a member of the Conservative Party when
Lady Thatcher left office I am not in a position to influence who might steer
the ship of state away from the rocks. Most of the above have shown themselves not to be
Conservative at all but maybe a couple of the ladies are up to the job. The
men have to varying extents been useless.
I sometimes ask myself which of their attitudes would have to change to allow a Conservative MP to
defect to the Labour Party and fail to think of anything mainstream.
Under Labour the Union would soon be lost and along with it Gibraltar and the
Falkland Islands but economically things could not really get any worse. The
attack on motorists would get worse.
Choosing the wrong replacement for Boris Johnson would be catastrophic and
within the last few minutes I have heard Rishi Sunak proudly ignoring the cost
of living crisis. (Milk up by another 5·5% this morning compared to last week, that’s 36%
in the past six months.)
We must hope that Conservative Members have more sense than our MPs.
Louie French backs Sunak, i.e. the highest taxes since Clement Attlee.
