  1. What they seem to offer.

    Jenrick – mostly anti immigration and pro Israel

    Kemi – Culture war stuff mostly, haven’t seen much more of substance

    Tugendhat – ECHR and gender stuff, more of a legacy candidate

    Cleverly – most moderate, focusing on slowing immigration and takes center positions often.

    Except for Kemi they’ve all recently moved away from Elon Musk style far right politics.

    Kemi says he’s done great things for free speech, guess she’s never tried to post ‘cisgender’ on twitter

  2. Cleverly seems the best of a ghastly bunch.

    Mainly because he plays Warhammer 40k.

    Shame he makes jokes about date rape drugged women.

    But that’s about par for most Warhammer 40k players level of PC.

  3. Ignoring the fact that I don’t agree with any of their politics. Having heard Kemi speak in interviews, shee *seems* to genuinely believe in her conservative view points and care about the country. Which is so many levels better than the last few Tory leaders and while I would never want to see her as prime minister, she comes off like she might make a good leader of the Tories. I get the impression that she is just deeply traumatised by the events that led to her leaving her original home country and as such is vehemently opposed to anything that comes close to resembling left wing policy.

    Tugendhat seems to be a mostly reasonable person that wouldn’t do anything fucking stupid on the foreign policy front. But again, wouldn’t want him as PM.

    Jenrick seems like an asshole.

    and I don’t know all that much about the others

  4. Imagine a swimming pool full of shit .

    Cleverly is the 3 ft end. The smells horrendous and you might never be able to feel clean again .

    Tugenhat is a few inches further out, there’s vomit in your mouth.

    Jenrick and kemi are the 8ft deepend.
    You are literary drowning in the brown stuff. It’s filled all your orifices , your lungs are bursting,you wish you could understand how you ended up here given you were told it was a broad pool with only the cleanest most deserving content in it.

    Just when you think you might break the surface and gasp some air, you just know they will be there to hold your head back under….to remind you to never forget your place in the sunny uplands.

  5. The last Conservative Leader remains Liz Truss, who best other candidates – and a Coronation has never counted.
