Brexit would be disaster & lead to decade of economic uncertainty said Leadsom (Vote Leave campaigner and candidate for Tory leader/next PM).

Andrea Leadsom

Looks like there might have been a bit of fraud there too...

Following her appointment, it was discovered that she had placed her shares in a buy-to-let property company, which she had started with her husband in 2003

This is a move that is commonly used to avoid inheritance tax. She also took advantage of offshore banking arrangements for the property company in an apparent contradiction to George Osborne's attempts to crack down on tax avoidance.

the firm has also made donations of £816,000 to the Conservative party

“These very large donations might be within the rules, but it certainly isn’t right that a Treasury minister has been taking money in this way. Most reasonable people will see this as completely unreasonable”.

And beyond that, well; she also seemed pretty eurosceptic to me recently ?

Leadsom appeared on the "Leave" panel, along with Gisela Stuart and Boris Johnson.[31] Leadsom rejected claims that the UK should pursue single market membership, and said in response that 80% of the world's economy, and most EU free trade deals, are not even within the single market. She also said that the UK economy is too large to need the single market, but is being hindered by the extreme slowness of EU trade procedures

Maybe she had a change of hearth i dunno.

Admittedly, she doesn't have half the ... sociopolitical luggage and annoying past... other conservative members can sometime have.

In July 2012, during the Libor scandal, she was widely reported on for her effectiveness at getting to the bottom of the scale of the mismanagement of risk in banks during the Treasury Committee's questioning of Bob Diamond

And seem to have possibly even defied the conservative leadership once or twice when they openly abused (they're in the libor fraud up to the neck tbh).
