    Urgh. Christ.

    But then again it was tied between Badenoch and Jenrick - the two mega right-wing MPs in the party.

    I do feel like Tory members in general are very out of touch with what the UK population wants; I think Tory members want a Brexit-Party-lite with a crackdown on immigrants blah blah blah, but the rest of the country just wants shit like NHS and infrastructure to finally work.

        At least for a while, until they get closer to a general election and actually need someone mentally stable, assuming they can find someone.
