For years we heard how more women in parliament would make it all so much better. I really do hate to say it but they haven't. There are loads of women there now and it just keeps getting worse.

I agree.
I care not whether an MP is a woman. Or black.

I just want the job done well.

She's unlikely to rescue the Tory Party from oblivion.

You are very brave Windmill1 writing this post. Whenever I post anything political I’m shot down in flames.

So here goes I like her straight forward attitude.

I call her" Kemmii" in a silly voice!
I can't actually understand a word she says most of the time!
She is soo unbelievably twee and right -up her own bottom.
Ps I think MrIlovedogs has a thing about her though, as he goes all unnecessary when she's twittering on the news.
How can I possibly compete against the other -worldly goddess-like being know as Kemmii! 😶

Make the most of you admiration. She will soon be gone.

Fingers crossed! However, have you looked at the list of current Conservative MPs? Who is going to replace her?

I like her; she is sensible and balanced, intelligent and practical, with an engineering background.
The Conservative grandees are massing for attack, but some of them do not realise their time has passed.

Badenoch does not have an engineering background! As for the rest ... I politely disagree with your opinion.

Another Liz Truss, god help us.

So very English to patronisingly think it's good that she has a different colour skin as a reason to want her PM, her ascerbic performance at PM question time shows how inarticulate and unable she is to get her act together.

At least no one has yet mentioned Thatcher. As shown in the current set of documentaries on IPlayer, Shifty, her intransigence and stupidity are the major reason that the UK is in the state it is in. Interesting to see her speaking out loud at a rally and naming immigrants as 'the problem' that Britain is unable to move forward and on the strength of that, she won the 1979 election.

There, click bait answered, it's so sad that so many British people a) hate foreigners despite paying lip service to some'black' people and b) love kow towing to corrupt, self serving Tory politicians.

Week after week Badenoch doesn’t do her homework for PMQT. Then, when challenged, she continues with the same misinformation.

Being so poor, she is claiming £3K to pay for the heating allowance for her second home. I do not like her.

She certainly doesn't lack confidence!
😃

I am not a fan but can admire her chutzpah

She's paying for being a strong-minded woman in the mysogynistically challenging World of Westminster. And black too.

She's not politely and demurely keeping quiet and waiting her turn, and although she may not make it to the next General Election.........I bloody well hope she does!
