Penny Mordaunt is a proven liar (Turkey and veto) with a convicted paedophile brother.
Is it PotG?

WhenWhat, you think the political brilliance of your preferred cabal's last 4 and a bit years in charge may be coming to an end
Your point being?
I'm not sure how much of the boost Clegg had from the first debate remained by the time the actual vote came around. In any case, the Lib Dems won 5 fewer seats in 2010 than 2005, albeit with 23% of the vote rather than 22%.

Sunak just constantly illustrates poor judgement from appointing Suella Braveman to falling for Piers Morgan publicity stunts. He really is his own worse enemy

Entirely unsure what her brother has to do with anything? As if that somehow makes her a less credible candidate just by association.
Bizarre thing to reference, IMO.

For those of us who avidly watched Neighbours in the late 90’s and early 00’s, I can’t begin to tell you how heartbreaking this is!

This is simply a devastating critique from that renowned lefty rag the Rupert Murdoch-owned Times. Absolutely brutal.

The complete oddness of where they are. Their members don't want the most competent leader and are more interested continuing on an ideological basis that will see them out of power for decade.
I've never believe I'd think this, but the Conservatives have morphed into the 1980 Labour party.
Who could have predicted that ?

She has more genes in common with crabs than she does with you and me. Now that's a scientific fact: there's no real evidence for it, but it is scientific fact.

Takes a brave Tory MP to stand up against the mob who have taken control of their historic party.
Not so much. She’s already announced she’s not standing in the coming General Election.

Would the Tory members vote for her? Many still hold strange moralistic views.

Being a liar seems to go down well with a lot of the Great British Public.

Protesters who wear masks could face arrest, up to a month in jail and a £1,000 fine under proposed measures that human rights campaigners claim are pandering to “culture war nonsense”.
Police in England and Wales will be given the power to arrest people if they are wearing face coverings at specific demonstrations, the Home Office has said.

Probably one of the best red wall Tories, she'd lose her seat regardless.
Reading some of the comments in that Twitter post is depressing, especially the one about the kid being taunted on a school bus. Words have consequences.
She's in an interesting position. There was a poll out this week that stated she was the only senior Tory with a positive net approval rating (it was just 2%, but that was enough). Some of her competitors for leader had an appalling rating, I think Braveman was -60% (or something). There have been reports from political reporters that Mordaunt is the only leader that the Labour party fears, yet the indications are that she has little chance of being elected leader and if they replace Sunak, they'll replace him with someone even less popular.
That's worse than Labour choosing Corbyn. At least, he brought a new constituency into play, as Corbyn attracted students, who normally shun elections. I don't see what streams of uncommitted voters Braveman or Badenoch will bring to the party.
Can someone explain Sunak’s jibe about trans people to me? The 99% thing?
I don’t get it.
