Kemi Badenoch and Robert Jenrick have made it to the final two in the Tory leadership contest after James Cleverly was eliminated from the race.

The result came as a surprise not only in Westminster, but also among readers of The Telegraph after Mr Cleverly came first in Tuesday’s vote.

Many readers were pleased with the result, believing it to be a hopeful sign that the party is moving in the right direction. » | Thursday, October 10, 2024

That the readers of the Telegraph are comparing Badenoch to Thatcher must be causing Thatcher to be turning in her grave! Ignore them Baroness Thatcher! They know not what they say! Requiescat in pace.

Clearly, the Tory Party is drawing its last few breaths. It is surely on its way to extinction. Extinction was the fate of the Whigs; it will soon be the fate of the Tories. Death is often preceded by a few movements here and there, but then the lights go out — forever. Thank you for the good times of yore.

This is the face of modern Britain. The minorities are seizing all power in the country. To get anywhere in politics in Britain today, you must be either black, Muslim, Hindu, Buddhist, or someone from another ethnic group. The Conservative Party has gone all queer! It’s not a bit like it used to be. It used to be very proper and extremely staid. Funnily enough, though, it’s a queer party, but it has never had a queer leader. Not one that was out and openly queer anyway.

God only knows where the next leader after this one will come from. Nothing would surprise me. Maybe a future contender in the next leadership race will be an Eskimo. – © Mark Alexander
