Feisty lady, but she's no Betty Boothroyd!

Surely this must be a joke, or possibly simply a piece of self-serving publicity dreamed up by its subject?

I'm sure she does have a few Tory supporters (aka 'quite a lot', if you believe a word of the linked report) , just like she had when she mounted her very short-lived and rather laughable candidacy as Leader of the Conservative Party. Personally I believe that now, as then, this is a complete non-starter.
