Tories wait for next leader

The Conservative party faithful have voted for their next leader, and the result is due out tomorrow. It’s a choice between Kemi Badenoch MP (North West Essex/Conservatives), and Robert Jenrick MP (Newark/Conservatives), the two frontrunners in a long contest.

It’s difficult to scry a prediction between the two. The Conservatives seem in a mire of their own. The loss of Rishi Sunak MP (Richmond and Northallerton/Conservatives) is a great one, and Sir Keir Starmer is putting up an impressive fight against the odds at present.
