From Torquay, so not really a Skate.
I think if she keeps things low-key, and just lets the others’ indiscretions over the years come to light, she could be home and hosed.
I think she might be the Tories’ only hope of winning in 2024.
Starmer would be better off against Sunak or Truss, I suspect. |  |

And so it begins.
Mordaunt was one of Hunt’s main backers in 2019.
Hunt now decides he is backing Sunak…….
What a coont. | |

Slightly embarrassing questions for her from the BBC today, 'for those who haven't come across you' quickly followed by 'people think you've got it in you'....cringe. |  | | |

She is the best of all the candidates. Rishi won't be popular. Penny speaks well and seems sensible. | |

I bet she gets plenty of offers of one from her male parliamentary colleagues though!
The whole trans thing is a nightmare for politicians and for anybody in the public eye. Probably best steer clear of anything to do with it if you are looking for votes. |  | | |

Are they asking all the other candidates about trans people, or just using it as a stick to beat Mordaunt with?
Long way to go yet, there is a possibility Mordaunt may fall the same way as her key backer Leadsom, who came from nowhere to seriously challenge Theresa May, but then collapsed at the final stage.
Lots of dirty tricks no doubt to come from Sunak, who crucially has the backing of three Chief Whips…. | |

Truss launches her campaign today. Could be interesting.
Can’t believe she is only 46 years old. She looks at least 10 years older. The realisation that I am older than her is fairly humbling. | |

Soggy can’t help himself and yet he describes himself as a liberal. Gammon is meant as an insult of course, can it be used for women? |
Probably no more of an insult than “leftie” or “pinko” though is it? | | | |

Gammons? Oh the irony…..
 |
Soggy showing his racist credentials, Gammon is a reference to skin colour, no? | | | |

You can be a liberal and call a gammon a gammon.
As for Mordaunt, the Mail have had a dig about her on the front page today and seem to be backing Truss which would seem to be a good enough reason to vote for Mordaunt over Truss. | | | |

The Mail appear to be unable to accept that Johnson has gone.
Bizarre even by their own standards. | |

A bit like some of the US media (Fox News) with Trump. Even the Express has managed to let go! | | | |

I know you get excited by domestic politics Sogs, but do you not accept at all that it is "different driver, same train tracks"? Even if you believe the Globalist technocrats to be good people and not nefarious, surely you can accept that is where the real power lies now? | |
| I wholly disapprove of what you say and will defend to the death your right to say it. |

Blimey Jelly, you are as bad as a Jehovahs Witness on the doorstep! I believe that the country would have been different under a Labour government for the last decade or so. I believe that it would have been different under a Labour/LibDem coalition. I don’t think it makes much difference who the next Tory PM is as they will always look out the rich first and the rest of us just have to make do. If you want to believe that Bill Gates runs the world, good luck to you. | | | |

That's not so bad when you consider that the Mail also had a problem letting go of Adolf Hitler as their hero in the 1930s. I guess they knew their readers even then.
"After the June 1934 “Night of the Long Knives” in which Hitler murdered more than 100 political opponents, the Daily Mail report began: “Herr Adolf Hitler, the German Chancellor, has saved his country”. In December that year Rothermere and his son Esmond were the guests of honour at a dinner party hosted by Hitler.
The Mail also welcomed Hitler’s remilitarisation of the Rhineland, in contravention of the Treaty of Versailles.
In the early 1930s, Rothermere was so close to Oswald Mosley’s British Union of Fascists that Daily Mail staff began to mimic their dress — wearing black shirts to work. The nadir of this period was a Daily Mail article headlined: “Hurrah for the blackshirts” which concluded with a direct call for young men to join Oswald’s party."
I guess that's the beauty of free speech: even Nazis get a voice.
To be fair, the Express is more extreme than the Mail nowadays. The reason they have no problem letting go of Boris is that they don't consider him right wing enough. [Post edited 14 Jul 2022 10:50]

Haha, I do have an evangelical desire to rid you of your cognitive dissonance, to wrench you out of old time politics, so you can see the approaching one world government, but you are a tough nut to crack - lockstep covid reaction, rising deaths since the jabs, lower birthrates since the jabs, net zero leading to food shortages, Dutch farmers protesting, anarchy in Sri Lanka, out of control interest rates everywhere, cost of living crisis, proxy Ukraine war etc, etc - nothing shakes you!
Still your complacency and buying in to diversionary domestic politics is an interesting case study for me.  | |

Study away Jelly. I was born 9 years after WW2 and there was still sugar rationing at the time. I have lived through many turbulent times but thankfully not a world war so yes, not a lot shakes me. I also know a conspiracy theory when I see one so you and MLT and friends are wasting your time on me. | | | |

Well in the 30's the Mail was probably mainstream thinking, but after 95 years everyone has moved on. You should too. | | | |

Out of the blue Lord Frost dumped big time on Mordaunt this morning. He doesn’t get to vote. Makes you wonder the reason why not before. Perhaps because she didn’t go to Oxbridge? Who does he support? Very nasty? | | | |

Frost has probably been promised a decent Cabinet role by Sunak once he has managed to get elected as an MP at a by-election.
It’s getting more dirty and murky. | |

Fork me, you have no idea what out of control interest rates are if you are using the current situation as justification for “out of control.” Those of us faced with 18% mortgage rates and out of control wage inflation in the past can assure you that if you think this is out of control, you are truly ignorant on these matters. | |

Quite interesting on SKY News, they seem to be talking up it being Mordaunt v Truss in the final 2, and that Sunak may well not make it…. | |
