Conservative leadership: MPs final round Kemi Badenoch - 42 (+12) Robert Jenrick - 41 (+10) James Cleverly - 37 (-2) A major surprise that Badenoch v Jenrick go through to the final round

I'm not really following it but does that mean it's a choice between bat shit crazy and bat shit craze?

So the only choice for members is with which candidate they wish to commit electoral suicide.

surprise for who? they are party of cranks

Erm... oh. Right. Far be it from me, as a non-Tory, to comment: but I don't think that's a good thing.

Votes in full Badenoch went 22-28-30-42 upwards each time Jenrick went 28-33-31-41 (-2, +10) Cleverly went 21-21-39-37 (+18, -2)

Sweet Jesus that's grim.

MPs giving the membership the choice they wanted? It does probably mean the party continues to lurch rightwards, which can’t be good for their chances of recovery in the medium term.

Some grossly overthinking voters. They seem determined on self destruction.

You are going to have absolutely nowhere to go if Jenrick wins. Not only will your polling be proved to be wrong but it will also disprove your notion that the Tory membership cant be racist even a wee bit.
