I wouldnt worry what she says, she will backtrack on it after a period of time and try to pretend it never happened.

But the internet never forgets...

Oh thanks to both of you, blimey what a speech, lots of standing up to fight, if I’d been there ( unlikely) I would have asked if I could do my fighting sitting down.😁
A rallying cry, wonder how it went down?
It’s too late for fighting talk in any case.

New polling suggests that Penny Mordaunt is the only Conservative considered more of an asset to the party than a liability.

Has everyone forgotten the utterly batshit crazy speech she made at the last tory conference? Unhinged didn't seem to cover it. And this is thought to be a potential leader?

No? What did she say?

I'll see if I can find a clip

Anyone want a bet there’ll be a summer election to (try to) save Sunak’s skin?

I think the SNP would be a brilliant main opposition, I’d like to see them have more time to speak these days.

You surely jest?

Of course you are right TinSoldier but at a meet up of locals recently only 3 knew our MPs name.

I've always thought Liz Truss to be Boris in drag

Come to think of it, have you ever seen them in the same place at the same time?

No. Johnson was not elected by the people. He was elected to be Party leader by fellow Party members and paying members of the Conservative party. In an election, voters vote for a consituency candidate whose views may or may not align with the Party leader and Party policies - which is why we have an archaic whipping system.

The Tories only received 43.6% of the popular vote.

I had to smile at the caption under the Telegraph photograph of Mordaunt that accompanies the article - headline - Right-wing Tory MPs want Mordaunt to oust Sunak.

348 sitting Conservative MPs and the only one considered more of an asset ….?!

I suppose if we get Penny we shall be able to enjoy some expensive dresses and nice jewellery at Question Time. I am afraid however much cake Boris ate at inappropriate parties he was elected by the people and Rishi wasn't, he also ate cake.
Nothing will happen until after the next election surely!!

Mordaunt will be a contender for future Tory leadership, in my book she is more appealing than some of the other far right candidates. She isn’t particularly moderate, I’m sure when the time comes there will be others in the running not yet considered too.

I've always thought Liz Truss to be Boris in drag

You may be on to something there. I have always thought Trump and Boris may have a family link somewhere.

Love him or loathe him Boris was far more popular with the country than Liz Truss or Rishi Sunak. I don't think the gap would be so wide if Boris was still PM.

It is because the polls are now unprecedented at

Labour 46%
Tory 18%

If that was translated (it won’t be) at an election. Labour would have something like 500 seats, and Tories 24 seats. The SNP would be the official opposition.

This is bad for the whole country.

But I’m sure changing PMs won’t cut it, it would just make the Tories seem more desperate and useless.

Good luck with that.

Why bother....the Conservatives will not win the election. It would be better to 'save' her for later, when they make a comeback.
