No Nadine Dorries leadership bid could come close to this hilarious Sooz Kempner version

There are – at the time of writing – 11 candidates for the Tory Party leadership, and consequently for the position of prime minister.

The list includes big hitters like current favourite Rishi Sunak, Liz Truss and Priti Patel, as well as the less well-known, alright unknown, Rehman Chisthi and Kemi Badenoch.

Here's some interesting facts about the Tory leader candidates pic.twitter.com/97eR2EbOAq

All these Tory leadership candidates voted to stop children eating food in the first wave of Covid when they were at their most vulnerable! They also cut universal credit in the winter with energy bills rising and the cost of living rocketing! Now they have Bn’s for tax cuts!🤷🏻‍♂️

Has a single one of the leadership candidates said Johnson was unfit for office?

Although one name in particular has been notable for its absence, there are rumours that Nadine Dorries is considering entering the contest ‘to keep Boris’ flame alive’. Presumably, the one that keeps setting his pants on fire.

Nadine Dorries just tried to throw her hat in my ring.

Everyone stop what you're doing and join the Tory Party so we can vote for Nadine Dorries in the upcoming leadership contest. This is how we save the country 😘

I’m supporting Nadine Dorries as she’s the only candidate who will get us through WW12.

Today I’ve written to Nadine Dorries URGING her to stand as our party leader & continue the legacy of Boris Johnson.
Nads is a charismatic young woman who is principled & caring.
With her in charge we can win the war in Ukraine, level up & keep British fish British.#GoNads

As the MP has yet to launch a bid, the brilliant Sooz Kempner has given us a glimpse of how Ms. Dorries’ promotional video might look – and it’s simply spectacular.

Yes, it’s time for a new woman to say “All your base are belong to us.“

Couldn’t be clearer.

When Sooz posted the sketch on Twitter, it got the love it truly deserves – which is all of the love.

If I didn't know a real great MP was going to be throwing her scarf in the leadership ring soon this is who I would be voting for https://t.co/p2Q6M71sIW

I laughed for three minutes at the first word of this. https://t.co/LLtYRee1jF

I feel like if we had Saturday Night Live in this country Sooz would be just as famous for these as Tina Fey was for her Sarah Palin – perhaps the American equivalent of Dorries https://t.co/xEgXKjEH9B

I'm backing Nadine! https://t.co/aWsxBdyw2E

SCREAM!! (For non-UKans: this is INDEED our outgoing Culture Minister and a contender for Joris Bonson's successor as PM.) https://t.co/4XyYHGJmjG

We're right behind you, Nadine x

— Laura Kuenssberg Translator (@BBCFLauraKT) July 11, 2022

Brilliant.

— Peter Reid 💙 (@reid6peter) July 11, 2022

If it’s good enough for Parody Boris, it’s good enough for anyone, and arguably too good for Real Boris.

Well @SoozUK has got my vote. https://t.co/TOBG0Mn1O2
