“She often has these incredible spats. She likes a fight. I'm not sure she thinks about what is going to happen in two weeks time.”

Kemi Badenoch shows she can be quite “scrappy” as the “spat” between herself and Suella Braverman for the Conservative leadership “escalates”, says assistant editor at the Spectator Isabel Hardman.

    Suella is the type of person that would deport her own reflection

    Still fighting to be bottom of the pile.
  • @ISuperTed
    And they still wonder why they lost by so much 😂
  • As someone else said ‘Two harpies fighting over a meatless corpse’

    Kemi Badenoch is simply the most ludicrous choice of leader of the Tories you can imagine. Cruella is just nasty.
  • The Conservative Party is where it is because of people like these two.

    These two women deserve each other. As for which should be leader, I'm sure Badenoch will edge it and then get into a series of frantic rows with her colleagues, blaming everyone but herself for the mess. She will then be challenged inside a year. Braverman will defect to the Reform rabble, and get into rows with Farage and Tice.

    Both Badenoch and Braverman display behaviours symptomatic of unresolved childhood trauma. They are highly reactive and incapable of weighing up what the furtre outcomes could be of their actions made today, they are simply not programmed like that. Its crazy that either of them could consider that they have the experience or necessary tools to lead the Tories, but then again perhaps they will succeed and this will result in the further demise of the now decimated and irrelevant Conservative party.
  • A Tory cat fight. Gorgeous. Let's hope it continues and that Badenoch wins. This will ensure the demise of the Tory party for a decade at least and possibly forever.
  • God help is from both of these people! The only salvation is that they are both out of government and can and only harp from the sidelines!
  • @mogbrown8409
    Badenoch has always had her eye on the main chance. She desperately wants to be Prime Minister. That is her goal and uses her race, hence the braids, to grab any opportunity that advances that. She is not in it to achieve the best for the U.K. nor its people.

    If Badenoch or braverman do win the tories are finished
  • @user-tn1hv7lt8f
    Maybe they'll cancel each other out like a couple of fractions.
  • @thefilmandmusic
    What a hideous pair ..They sr]till don’t get it , why they lost ‘criminality’
  • @philipriley2253
    What Baffles me is the electorate in both North West Essex & Fareham who actually votes for them. What a stain these two individuals are not only on the tory party, but the constituencies they are supposed to represent. Imagine asking either for help as a constituent..

    Both irrelevant people thank you for the free publicity.
