UK PM debate: ‘#Mordaunt… [has] purposefully done a Thatcher to her hair… a Thatcher tribute act, without any of the substance… empty cosplay’ https://x.com/iandunt/status/1799160407426248989

Really very hard to accurately describe just how rubbish she is. Basically a Thatcher tribute act, without any of the substance or the conviction. An empty cosplay act, with no intellectual content whatsoever.

#Mordaunt, #Sunak seeing everyone despise #Ramaswamy, T•••• for constantly interrupting: “I should copy that” :D

I can see that Mordaunt is going to pursue the Sunak tactic of constant interruption. How do they watch that and think it's something they need to replicate.

Renters betrayed as Tories ditch evictions promise after General Election call

The Renters (Reform) Bill, which would ban landlords from evicting tenants without a reason, is not expected to become law before Parliament shuts up shop for the election

‘Penny #Mordaunt – an unbelievable lightweight disguised as some kind of serious figure… regularly linked with the top job because she silently held a [sword] still for an hour’ https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2024/apr/30/rishi-sunak-lead-tories-local-elections-regicide-as-usual
It seems certain Sunak will lead the Tories into the local elections. After that, regicide as usual

He will get zero credit for good results and blame for all the bad. And hovering overhead is Penny Mordaunt, says the Guardian columnist Marina Hyde

The Guardian
#UK PM #Sunak (whose days appear to be numbered), says the UK is 'not interested' in accepting back those #asylum seekers who fled to the Republic of #Ireland to escape deportation to #Rwanda. Side note: if Sunak is ejected after losing another local election, the alarming prospect of PM Penny #Mordaunt looms https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2024/apr/29/uk-not-accept-return-asylum-seekers-ireland-rishi-sunak
UK will not accept return of asylum seekers from Ireland, Rishi Sunak says

Prime minister dismisses potential deal with Dublin, increasing prospect of an escalating UK-Irish crisis

The Guardian

‘The statue’s backers see their campaign as a correction to what #Mordaunt calls “anti-British, grievance-based” attempts to “rewrite our history in the bleakest way”.

But their own account of the squadron’s history is a rose-tinted one, which neglects historical facts and erases space for a more nuanced memory of Britain’s past.’

It’s not unpatriotic to tell the whole truth about Britain and the end of slavery

The mooted memorial to the navy’s West Africa Squadron seems to be an attempt to rewrite history in a more favourable light, says writer Ella Sinclair

The Guardian

#labour #momentum #unite member here, and when the #tory leadership contest was on, the one I really really hoped would NOT win was Mordaunt.

International economics are one thing but I do think if she had been PM then Starmer would be facing a harder fight
