Tory civil war erupts again less than two hours after MPs pivot to the hard right

The Tory civil war has erupted again after MPs decided to make the leadership final the most right-wing in the party’s history.

Less than two hours after hard-right candidates Kemi Badenoch and Robert Jenrick made it to the last round of the Tory leadership contest, the camps started attacking each other.

Jenrick cheerleader Tory MP Sir John Hayes took a sideswipe at Ms Badenoch, saying the Conservatives do not want an “irascible leadership” – a thinly veiled reference to claims that she is “abrasive” at times.

Badenoch cheerleader Tory MP Nigel Huddleston hit back suggesting Mr Jenrick had “too many specific policies”.

1. So depressing

Not that they're fighting each other- at least that makes them less competitive and puts the Gray-McSweeney conflict in the shade- but just that both candidates are so AWFUL!
