My advice is to unite around a candidate who’s likeable, conservative and comes across to the public. That’s Badenoch.
No Conservative leader has lost a challenge as Prime Minister, but neither have any survived their victories by as much as a year.

He says he’s best placed to deliver Brexit, slash corporation tax and beat Corbyn. And adds “I am not going to criticise Boris for going to a posher public school than me.”
MPs hardly have a great track record of selecting suitable candidates – and the current system allows for coronations when needed.
