Another with her own agenda. Ousted very sharpish by Theresa May for having secret meetings with the Israelis. I feel so safe knowing she's in charge. hmm

She's strong and we need strong politicians. There are too many weak ninnies afraid to be honest and speak their minds. We need to know where people truly stand, not someone who constantly changes their mind.

So what exactly is a “proper Conservative”then? Asking for a friend!

grannyqueenie ‘proper conservative’ is a construct in the remaking. It’s being worked on as I type. It’s not going to be imposed on us by Kemi but ideas are going to float up from the members and the party … or something like that.

By your comment - surely you can’t be happen with the games Starmer is playing…

it won't be long before kemi say's the wrong thing, she is known for speaking before she thinks, as for priti she always came across as being better than everyone else, can't see them getting along.

She will be great. The Conservatives have some very strong and forthright women. Our Buckinghamshire M.P., Joy Morrissey has just been given the job of chief whip.

So she resigned over partygate but now says it wasn’t as bad as it was made out to be? Isn’t that a case of changing her mind?

Unfortunately her honest opinion of Trump would be that she admires him greatly.
