The whole replacing Rishi mid campaign argument has got to deal with the fact that Kemi would trample over the war dead to be the replacement, and that she'd be worse.
You think so? Nobody with any political aspirations would take the job now, which is captaining the Titanic as Kate & Leo try to share a door.
Better to let the stench of failure be all Rishi's, then take over after the election and be the conquering hero who returns them to power at the next GE.
On the other hand, if your life goal was to be remembered as the shortest serving PM then taking over the reins now would be your best bet for knocking Liz Truss's seemingly unbeatable record out of the history books.
