Esther McVey‘s pitch on @RidgeOnSunday: Police funded out of international development, because “we have to look after our own”, standing up “for regular people”, and on Brexit “pick the side that won” and create “an invisible border” by October. Pretty much your basic nightmare.
This leadership election will be a bidding contest for who can promise the nastiest, stupidest, most unrealistic, most xenophobic things. And McVey will not even be the low bar. I suspect she will be outbid by Steve Baker, within 24 hours.
