BREAKING: New Conservative Party leader announced - 'History is being made by the Tories'

Kemi Badenoch has been confirmed as the new leader of the Conservative Party, beating Robert Jenrick to replace Rishi Sunak.

The North West Essex MP won the contest by 57 per cent to 43 per cent.

The result comes after last night a new poll by BMG Research found that if a general election was held today, 29 per cent of the country would vote for the Tories, while 28 per cent would back Labour.

The first black woman leader, the first woman chancellor; I'm more interested in what they do rather than what they are.

[richardwise]

If jenrick really believes in leaving European court he should defect to reform

[MorrisGump]

I’m so glad he made the point of stating she is the first Black leader!

I couldn’t see it my self!!

[darrenphillips]

One globalist after another when are they going to learn

[strangepop]

Reform will blow them out
I voted conservative all my life, never again

[tylersmith]

In a time when the English man feels there being replaced. Then you go and do this. Yep good look to that

Kemi 'I love migrants' Badenoch

[drphilipjohnfranklin]

Uk is now proved to the world that everybody is equal and if you work faithful sincere you will surely merit your heart desires

[richardwaring]

Well done Kimi Bad enough. Vote Reform.

[valeriegrimshaw]

Same poop....different day. Vote REFORM....

[paulchambers]

This just shows that the cons dont want to leave the ECHR .The cons are finished.

[TheTwistedStone]

Never heard of her but she does look like she ticks all the woke boxes....

[flyerh]

They were never going to get my vote again and nothing has changed there.However this is the best news Reform could ever dream of roll on the local elections where I will be standing for Councillor.

Doesn't make a difference. Tories are still in deep trouble. The quality of Tory MPS is poor. no signs of any real leadership ability. But even on their worst day, they are still light years ahead of Stasi Labour.

And it makes no difference at all. The cons are still corrupt, just like liebour. Everyone seems more concerned with her gender and skin colour than the actual ability she brings to the table, which is pretty much F all tbh.
liebour has the majority so the cons being in opposition means nothing as they have literally no power to change anything liebour put in motion.
Unless the cons and liebour are both removed, it will keep getting worse for the people of the UK.

Wow, that was inevitable for two reasons...can't say why though, as having to be careful nowadays, for another reason I should not talk about!

[JohnHowlett]

They have no chance of winning next time round now

[alexantor]

Well I'll definitely not be returning to the Conservatives now no chance I'll stick with reform

[inthailandtillidie]

Very, very disappointing result, sad day

[mcsmcs]

It's more choreographed than wrestling! They really do think we are stupid! Never again.(REFORM)
