Interesting. Kemi Badenoch 42 votes, Robert Jenrick 41. James Cleverly, the front-runner in the earlier round, leaves the race. Kemi Badenoch is the clear favourite among party members, according to polls. If elected, I believe she will prove the bigger obstacle to Nigel Farage and a Reform UK government in 2029. I also believe Nigel will be our next Prime Minister, at the head of a Reform UK government in 2029, all the same.
