    BREAKING **
    @KemiBadenoch has picked up real momentum in a new @ConHome survey of 850 Tory party members today, in the wake of the Channel 4 TV debate last night.
    The poll puts Ms Badenoch in the lead on 31 per cent, up from 19 per cent last Monday. 1/3 #ToryLeadershipContest

    Truss now second on 20% behind Badenoch, Mordaunt 3rd on 18%, Sunak fourth on 17% and Tugendhat 5th on 10%

    Tory member preference, and general public preference, seem to have an orthogonal relationship.

    She worries me

    If true (we don't get a transcript of the tape), really not what we need.
    1968 Rivers of Blood - Enoch Powell
    2022 Oceans of Woke - Kemi Bad'enoch

    Wonder what the (unquiet?) spirit of EP was saying last night? Or sputtering?
    He thought the children of Africans would be beginning a civil war right now, so probably expecting the Conservative Party to be a name for an inner-city black militia.
    He got it right: by 2020 the children of Africans are within a smidgen of gaining control of the country and waging (woke) war on the white urban middle classes.
    I will admit though: I don't think he saw it happening via the child of an African immigrant becoming leader of the Conservative Party and PM.
    Oh he did.

    Enoch was right, the darkies are about to have the whip hand over white people.

    "In this country in 15 or 20 years' time the black man will have the whip hand over the white man".
    Yep. We'll have Sharia replacing English law. Just you watch... :D

    The HoL is fine.

    Simply introduce attendance requirements, and leave appointments to an independent panel.

    Overall it would be good to have more regional representation (ex council leaders for example) and less political hacks and certainly no party donors.

    And either scrub the bishops or have RC, Presbyterian, Muslim, Jewish, Wiccan, and Jedi representation. Not to mention Unitarians and Congregationalists, and Methodists too, as well as Scottish Episcopal. Jains, Buddhists, and so on. And a fair proportion of atheists brought in for that reason alone (as well as others).
    No you still need some Bishops as the Church of England is the established church in England. The Chief Rabbi is already normally a peer by retirement and plenty of Muslim peers too. Presbyterians don't do Bishops and Lords and Scottish Episcopals leader in the Anglican communion is the Archbishop of Canterbury anyway. The Vatican does not allow Roman Catholic Bishops to join the Lords as it would challenge the authority of the Pope and the Vatican
    Just pick other people - Moderators rather than Bishops. And the SEC is not subordinate to the C of E, despite your fantasies.

    The Archbishop of Canterbury is primus inter pares spiritual leader of the global Anglican communion, which includes the SEC
    Yes, but that is not the same thing as the C of E as you know perfectly well.

    Beware possibly THE story of summer: Putin cuts gas supplies to Europe to stop replenishing for winter + plunge it into recession.
    No gas coming thru Yamal pipeline for 2 months
    Nord Stream 1 was at 40% capacity. Now zero for “maintenance”. What chance not switched on again?

    What do they expect. We are fighting an economical battle against the Russians. They are bound to respond.

    Doing the right thing in supporting Ukraine, and it is the right thing, was never going to be easy.
    It is still signing the death warrant for the Russian economy within 5 years though.
