Low-key disappointed that Grant Shapps lost his seat because while he’s still a Tory I feel like he would have avoided the “culture war” bs it he’d managed to become leader. Now we’ll almost certainly be stuck with a sociopath like Braverman or Badenoch or Jendrick.
Although the Tories are so fucking batshit rn that it’s hard to see how anyone to the left of Mussolini could become leader. So, high probability that a sociopath would win regardless of any relatively moderate candidates. Reform’s success also pretty much ensures a fascistic sociopath leader.
Thank fuck Cates lost her seat though. She’d be sticking crosses in people’s faces and chanting “the power of Christ compels you”, trying to exorcise any last remnants of “moderate” Cameronism.
