She could start a fight in an empty room. The Tories need someone who can connect with the electorate, she'll be hectoring them for not working hard enough.

I heard that too. However, I think with some coaching she might mellow. Although I'll admit I thought she was younger so had assumed time would help too.
I still think she comes across as bright with a good story. Plus Imo Sunak's weakness was a major reason for this defeat. While I think this election would have always been incredibly hard to win, I still maintain if he'd followed through properly on his original message as the change candidate he'd have had a shot. I can't imagine Badenoch doing that.

Be careful what you wish for. She has the potential to be dangerously effective IMO and is mates with/groomed by Gove - who has serious media sway.
Much better to have someone damp and ineffective.
