Tory Conference, Leader Candidates Speeches.....

[ToraToraTora]

Of the four I have to say KB impressed me the most. Tugendhat was a dissappointment. Cleverly and Jenrick very formulaic. So for me it's out of Badenoch and Tugendhat even though he dissappointed here. Over to you....

The Tories may as well vote mickey mouse in as their leader for what good it will do them The Public will take a long time if ever to forget the damage they did to the Country over the last 14 years. You can say bye bye to the Cons for at least the next ten years.🤣

[Blubster]

Not the way Starmer's going - he'll be out quick shakes.

[Canary42]

Liz Truss for me 😀

Why isn't she in the contest ?

 

[gulliver1]

Boris for me ...keep them out for fifteen years.

[naomi24]

There's nothing noteworthy in any of them as far as I can see.  After just a few months of this Labour government there's not a chance in hell they'll be trusted again, and if the Conservatives can't produce a more dynamic leader than any of the current candidates, we will, I believe, see Reform nudge the lot of them into also rans.   I think the electorate is sick to the back teeth with the lot of them.

[ToraToraTora]

whoever wins will most likely be the next PM. Labour are rapidliy disintegrating.

None of these 4 would win a general election in my opinion. They'd be better off persuading Sunak to stay until another leader emerges over the next couple of years.

[bhg481]

Very few people win a general election; it's all the others who have a policy/reputation that stops people voting for them. Labour didn't win the last one, the Tories blew it and the Lib Dems might have done better if they didn't have the policy to rejoin th EU.

[gulliver1]

Trouble here is whoever the Tories select as their leader will probably be retired or too old to serve as PM by the time  they do get back into power ever again.

[newmodarmy]

But to win an election they need to have a united party and someone who can give it direction and stability and inspires confidence to the party and electorate. They need to work hard to shake off the reputation of the last 5 shambolic Tory years to have any chance of winning a majority, however bad the labour government turns out to be.

Please not another grey man in a grey suit. I think kemi might shake things up a bit.

gulliver: "Trouble here is whoever the Tories select as their leader will probably be retired or too old to serve as PM by the time  they do get back into power ever again." - the lift doesn't go up to the top does it?

Jenrick: 42

Cleverly: 55

Badenoch: 44

Tugendhat: 51

2TK: 62

So they'll all be younger that 2TK is now next election. Think it through me old china!
