Andrea Leadsom wants to be Tory leader. Does she really think that’s a good idea?
Oh dear. Another Tory blunderer wants to make a bid for the top spot in politics.
Andrea Leadsom actually ran for the Conservative Party leadership – and to be prime minister of the UK – back in 2016, but withdrew in order to allow the coronation of Theresa May to happen unopposed. We all know how that turned out!
Now, according to some political commentators, she fancies her chances again. Here‘s the Huffington Post:
“Asked if she would run this time, Leadsom said: “Yes, I am seriously considering standing. I’m disgusted at the fact that nearly three years on and still we haven’t left the EU.”
Is it a good idea? Well, let’s consider some of the things Ms Leadsom has said in the past:
The stunning intellect of Andrea Leadsom:-
“Jane Austen is one of our greatest living authors."
“To reject the deal in its entirety is not to reject every element of it.”
“I never predict the future, but I firmly believe our best days are ahead of us.”

There can always be a second tweet for more of Andrea Leadsom:-
"If we had another referendum and we voted to remain, what message would that send to the 17.4 million who voted to leave?"
“If I became PM, I would repeal the ban on foxhunting. That would improve animal welfare.”

That seems conclusive; she appears to be a female Boris Johnson.
And of course there is also the question of whether she is a homophobic bigot:
At #PMQs Theresa May refused to condemn Andrea Leadsom's anti- LGBT remarks, this morning Leadsom said parents should have the right to choose if their children "are exposed to that kind of information".#LoveisLove ❤🏳️🌈🌎 #Section28

Just think: What Mr Johnson did for the Conservative Party’s race relations, Ms Leadsom could do for relationships… It doesn’t bear thinking about, does it?

She’s unquestionably stupid enough to think she’s intellectually capable and emotionally suited to being PM,
God above help us.(and any other being that has our good at heart.)
Let as many as possible throw their hats in then the fights and squabbles can start and bypass the set time they have to put a PM in place and thus force a GE
Leadsom or Johnson? Worst or Worstest? Johnson often speaks out of turn so I doubt our spy chiefs and business leaders will want him to lead the Tories whether their base wants him or not. He’d be privy to far more secrets and could blurt out anything and give the party a mortal wound. May is bad but she knows how to say nothing.
Now you’ve got Esther McVey to consider as well!
If Satan actually existed I am sure he would be a prime Tory leadership candidate.
I am beginning to think hr does exist. Wwhy else would we have hid henchmen and women trying to run our country and being as evil as they are /have been?
I don’t understand.
