Perhaps we could try and go a week without someone in government committing a crime.
- Or at least a week where someone actually gets convicted of one of these crimes and faces punishment?
(Sorry if this is a little uninformed) Isn’t she someone who folks want to run for the next PM? I really haven’t heard anything great about her. The first I heard of her was having bad statistics about crime or something to that effect.

Why is she so popular? Or is she even popular I guess?
- She was pushed into a position due to being in the ERG. She is trying to represent the far right of the Tory party, Which she upset with the EU retention bill changes. I don't think anyone wants her to run if Sunak falls, but she will be in the mix. She has provoked criticism for her campaigning to push herself forward as a potential leader while Sunak is still incumbent.
  
  I personally do not think the Tories would be so stupid as to use her as a next leader. Most likely will be a wake up call to remove the extremist element from the party after the next election. That would be the most sensible option, but you can never say never with the Tories in their current state. She is a bigger disaster waiting to happen than Truss threw up. A power crazy individual with no conscience.
  
  Wouldn't they go with Kemi Badenoch or Penny Mordaunt if they want a right whinger of the party to lead?
  
  Braverman comes across as a pasty these days.
  
  Ahh I see, thanks for the clarification. I didn’t know Sunak was doing badly enough to remotely warrant a challenge, however subtle, to his leadership. I assume then that the next election won’t be pretty for them
- I think she might be fairly popular with the Conservative membership but from what I've seen she's generally pretty heavily disliked by the general public.
- Cruella's approval ratings are pretty dismal: https://twitter.com/OpiniumResearch/status/1662539342584086529?t=sS9g1Nv-Etu0xg3_IZO2tQ&s=19
Gotta love the party of the working class, the family and the law and order.
So ein Pimmel
