Conservative party leadership hopefuls pulling out all the stops. Jenrick and Badenoch fighting over the far right vote whilst Cleaverly and Tugenhadt are trying to be more centerist. Tugenhadt has come across quite unpleasant but he could just realise that he needs to appeal more to the right of the party to get his name on the ballot of the final two that goes to the party membership. At this time I hate to say it but Cleaverly seems like the best option at the moment* *I hate the Conservative party and what it stands for but out two party system needs strong opposition to hold the Government to account and not just regurgitate populist rhetoric
