Kemi's just gaslighting the country-and having a laugh

The Guardian

November 06, 2024

Spare a thought for the losers. Not those like James Cleverly, Tom Tugendhat, Steve Barclay.

- John Crace

Or Jeremy Hunt and Oliver Dowden, who politely declined to serve in the shadow cabinet. They had their self-worth to consider. Hard to believe, but true nonetheless.

Instead consider those who desired high office. If that isn't an oxymoron for the shadow cabinet. Take Suella Braverman and Esther McVey. Gutted to have been overlooked. Their credentials impeccable. Both with an unblemished track record of insanity and incompetence. How much more useless did they have to be for Kemi Badenoch to give them the nod? Imagine the insult.

Thought to be less hopeless than Priti Patel or Chris Philp. You're not going to recover from that.

Now to one of the lucky ones.
