Penny Mordaunt's credibility is destroyed by her lies

Wasn't she the one that made a speech for a bet trying to say "cock" multiple times?
It was years ago...

Don't worry, Ug. Frost is so lacking in judgement that no-one with half a brain cell is going to take any notice of what he says.

I expect the ERG would be delighted with a lightweight and easily manipulated PM.

? Liz Truss for PM then, sorry Penny

Well if the Guardian don't like Penny Mordaunt PM4PM she's gone up in my estimation.

Oh heck .... this - just now from the Telegraph:

“Lord David Frost, the former Brexit chief negotiator, has told Talk TV he would have "grave reservations" about Penny Mordaunt becoming Prime Minister.

Citing his time working alongside her during the Brexit negotiations, when Mordaunt served as his junior, Lord Frost said she "wasn't fully accountable or always visible".

"To be honest, I'm quite surprised she is where she is in this race. She was my deputy - notionally more than really - in the Brexit talks last year," he said.

"I'm sorry to say this, she did not master the necessary detail in the negotiations last year. She wouldn't always deliver tough messages to the European Union when that was necessary and I'm afraid she wasn't fully accountable or always visible. Sometimes I didn't even know where she was."

"I'm afraid this became such a problem that after 6 months I had to ask the PM to move her on and find somebody else to support me."

"From the basis of what I saw, I would have grave reservations."

A few politicians have the picking of the 2 remaining candidates. A small proportion of the general public, those who have paid to join the tory party, then have the right to vote between those 2. And the majority of the country have to go along with it.
They didn't do to well with the choice of liar Johnson, why does anyone think the country will be any better off by September

Politicians do sometimes say things that are untrue. If they believe what they are saying is true and have no evidence to the contrary, they are not technically lying.

However if they are then told that there is incontrovertible evidence that what they stated is untrue, an honest politician will retract and apologise for getting it wrong.

Penny Mordaunt has been told many times that it is a fact that the UK was, as an EU member, able to veto the admission of Turkey or any other country and therefore her scaremongering statement that "Turkey will join and there is nothing we could do to stop it" is a lie. Yet she keeps repeating this lie.

It seems to me that the reason that she will not withdraw this lie and tell the truth is that it was one of the most important lies which swayed some people to vote Leave.

The whole Brexit project is based on lies but there were two lies that were most effective.

When Dominic Cummings trained the army of call centre workers the Leavers employed to stir up fear, he kept repeating " £350 million and Turkey" , "£350 million and Turkey", "£350 million and Turkey"

"£350 million" was Boris HJohnson's big lie.

"Turkey" was PennyMordaunt's big lie.

There are lies, damned lies, and politicians to paraphrase Disraeli’s famous words.

Are there ANY truthful politicians out there?

Anyone who thinks “4” is a word goes down in my opinion.

I hear her launch went well:

She’s named after a battleship that was torpedoed by a German submarine which sunk without trace with great loss of life.

OK! So that's four out of six are liars! It's not looking too hopeful - at least none of them could be such liars as Johnson.

She makes a point about the fact she was named after a battleship but fails to mention that it was torpedoed by a German submarine and sank with great loss of life. I hope her ambition to be PM sinks without trace, too.

The biggest liar has to be Liz Truss. She’s not even good at it.

Yep she lies quite a lot.

Oh dear. Perhaps all this is unravelling now for her?
A messy business.

Lying rules out Braverman and Badenoch too.
