Ken Clarke on the Tory leadership contest went viral all over again because he nails it so well
Here’s Ken Clarke speaking back in 2016 about some of the people who wanted to be PM last time the Tory party had a leadership contest, and it’s as true this time round as it was then.
"I think with Michael [Gove] as Prime Minister we'd go to war with at least three countries at once." – Ken Clarke #marr pic.twitter.com/TY4UvryMdr

Nails it.
He looks as though he had a heavy night propping up the bar.

And yet after drinking all night he still makes more sense than majority of Tories.

I wish Ken was running

And just to confirm when it’s from …
Is this recent? I seem to remember Ken being overheard a while back? just curious.

July 2016, during the last Tory leadership contest.

I was wondering if this was the clip from that time.

I'll be sure to include the date when I post it during the next Tory leadership contest. Which, going by the state of the party, will probably be sometime later this year / early next year. 🙄 #marr
