Former equalities minister Kemi Badenoch has become the latest Conservative MP to enter the race to become the next party leader and PM.
She comes across well and says the right things from what I’ve heard of her.
Confirming her candidacy in the Times, Ms Badenoch said she wanted a limited government and to “tell the truth”.
Ah… Well, now, we could be running into trouble here.
Setting out her stall in an opinion article in The Times, Ms Badenoch said a “strong but limited government focussed on the essentials” was needed.
The 42-year-old MP for Saffron Walden – who was among those to resign their government jobs this week – said she would lower taxes, but also have a “tight spending discipline”.
“Without change the Conservative Party, Britain and the western world will continue to drift” and rivals will “outpace us economically and outmanoeuvre us internationally”, she wrote.
Nope. It will never pass muster. That’s the last thing the Whitehall blobs want. Besides, the thought of a black woman in No10 would send the Labour Party into a paroxysm as it implodes in its own internal contradictions at the idea. So, never going to happen.

Well at least in a few years time she will be able to say that she was prescient.
She is. I like her, but they will destroy her before her bid gets anywhere.
Sadly, those who talk sense never get elected. I found that out at the recent by-elections in my area.
It’d be nice if either Kemi Badenoch ir Suella Braverman were the next Prime Minister, but I doubt if it will happen. Nothing I can do about it anyway. I don’t have a say in the matter.
New, and probably the best candidate so far.

Very good.
I prefer Larry, the No 10 cat.
He doesn’t appear to have thrown his hat in the ring.
I see what you did there.
It’s going to be Sunak.
Whoever the other contender turns out to be, uncle klaus or the civil service will release some muck on them and they’ll withdraw.
Sunak: establishment, WEF, MSM have all agreed he is next leader puppet
Maybe the Conservative members can save us, or will votes suddenly jump to over 100% – USA 2020:
