The Tory leadership contest will be ‘noisy’

"If Priti Patel snd Kemi Badenoch come in, they’re both very abrasive characters."
There’s been eight years of the Conservative party “providing wonderful entertainment”, the leadership contest will ensure there will be more “entertainment right through to November”, says The Guardian columnist Polly Toynbee.

TORRIES ? WHO ARE THEY AGAIN ? 🤔🤔🤔

[@runtothehills8992]

Lower middle class people fighting over the hedge between their gardens after one too many gin and tonics. Delicious.

[@onenote6619]

Can't say that I care. Either the Tories get a grip or they will be replaced. I can't see myself ever voting for them or anything like them ever again.

[@fellabay]

Nobody cares what happens to them.... 😂

[@TooDarnSoulful]

The times seem to really care lol

[@TimComley]

No it’s you we couldn’t care less about 😑

[@PlanofBattle]

This Tory party is as ideologically factionalised as any I have known. And they have no self discipline or team ethos. Electing a new leader will solve little. They need to agree what they are about, and that may cause many to see they cannot stay with the party.

[@danielgrafton93]

They’re Tories. They don’t know the word civil or decency 😅

[@Tom_murray89]

It will be a fight to the end

[@TrevorBarre]

So, even the Tories can see how toxic Braverman is?

[@markeightfourone8693]

Aww . . .poor Suella . . .(or Sueller as some people seem to pronounce it?) . . .

[@MrTzimisces]

I can't wait for this, it's going to be so messy

[@MichealHarris-il6zi]

Why don't they all enter the WWE wrestling ring and call it summer slam .😂

[@JevansUK]

The membership will choose the worst of the final 2

[@Trecesolotienesdos]

Lack of class made them into the opposition!!

[@dianamincher6479]

The blacks are kicking and punching each other over the leadership contest?

[@RobThomson-x8g]

Why keep it civil? I want to see some spirit and passion in our leaders.

[@JaneSoole]

I hope courtesy and decency will prevail, not as the wild rudeness of candidates towards each other as the last times. Yes with an S.

[@31Blaize]

That's a wasted wish given who is involved!

[@clementine2938]

Deluded much..lol

[@damianleah6744]

Yawn fest

[@TimComley]

Yet you are here ffs

[@joe9042]

Nobody cares!

[@johnreid9959]

Priti for leader

[@markhayward7400]

They are going to fight like ferrets in a sack. It will be the best spectator sport of the summer (the Olympics included).

[@TimComley]

What has poly got to do with Tory leadership race she’s a rebel rouser

[@wmbxp02]

[@TimComley]

Your lot will be gone in a year already scrapping
