Andrea Leadsom claims the Tories were too woke, and we probably won’t ask to borrow her dictionary
Not enough broadcasters respond to our endless desire to know what Andrea Leadsom thinks about stuff. Happily, the BBC was all over it as they waited for the election results to come in.
If they hadn’t invited the former candidate for leadership of the Conservative Party (can you imagine a Leadsom premiership?), we’d never have heard her unique take on the Tories’ downfall.

We must have been napping when they were doing the woke stuff. Was it before or after they rounded up asylum seekers and put them on a barge full of legionella?
Anyway – here’s what other people had to say about it.

The blame game begins…
Andrea Leadsom (a minister): "Perhaps it's that we've not been conservative enough."
She says in the pub earlier this evening, a group told her "they're sick of all this woke stuff, they're sick of all this trying to be more left-wing than Labour".

this is always so funny bc like beyond waving flags with swastikas on them, what else could the tories have done to prove that they’re bigoted enough for the far-right? https://t.co/s7YzxTwSGO

With all due respect and in defence of Andrea Leadsom she is an absolute fucking idiot. https://t.co/8fgwb91w1u

I didn't shoot anyone today. I'm so bloody woke I sicken myself. I might go on a gun rampage tomorrow though if Andrea will drive the getaway vehicle.

Andrea Leadsom on the BBC concluding that the Conservative collapse is due to “too much woke” and “trying to be more left wing than Labour” has made my soul die a bit.

Fucking hell. I know she says she has been in the pub, but a pint of whisky before going on tv is risky— Walnuts (@PaoloWalnuts) July 4, 2024
