Current Affairs The Next PM is?

[ste d' indica]

Some elements of the Tory party now saying Mordaunt wasn’t Brexity enough, and wanted to vote for May’s “BRINO” deal.

The worst thing you can be in the modern Tory party is not fully on board with the hardest of hard Brexits.

Sky News:

Stinging attack on Mordaunt from her former boss Lord Frost

Former Brexit negotiator and cabinet minister Lord Frost has made quite an intervention in the Tory leadership race - saying he has "grave reservations" about Penny Mordaunt becoming the next PM.

Speaking to Talk TV, this is his view of the current favourite...

"I am surprised at where she is in this leadership race. She was my deputy, notionally more than in reality, in the Brexit talks last year.

"I'm sorry to say this... I felt she didn't master the detail that was necessary in the negotiations."

Lord Frost said she was not able to deliver "tough messages that were necessary" to the EU.

"She wasn't fully accountable or visible. Sometimes I didn't even know where she was. I'm afraid this became such a problem that after six months I had to ask the PM to move her on."

He hinted that she could be "pushed back" over Brexit if she was in Number 10 and that she was not "tough" enough.

In a stinging attack, he went on: "Anyone can be photographed in a video with 'I vow to thee my country', but it's what you do in practice."

Just some totty for older codger Tory types, and of course "premature" will be the underlying message.

Yes, Lord Frost. That exemplary negotiator who got such a brilliant deal.

Its possible Mordaunt recognised him for the charlatan that he is.

It’s gonna be Rishi Rich Rich Rishi

Totally out of touch with the common man!

Quite possible. She is certainly not right wing enough for the tiny facist cabal that decide these things for the Tories. If she does win she will have promised them all sorts of rabid nonsense for their support and when she doesn’t deliver we’ll be witnessing it all again in three years time.

I don't think it'll be that long mate.

I have no idea id mordaunt or truss is more right wing

Mordaunt worked as an aid worker in Romania when she was younger so that at least suggests she has something resembling a soul.

 

[Toffe3m4n]

I think we know why dirty ol' Tories are voting for her

Bit better than looking at Boris at any rate (and the rest of them really lol)

Which is exactly the quality I look for in a prime minister.

They seem to be outdoing themselves to appear as inhumane as possible

I have nothing, like nothing.
Anybody who voted for this bunch cause of Boris's silly hair and getting Brexit done? brought this shower of racist, Inhumaine, incompetent bunch upon us.
Hope that is what you wanted, cause it is what we got.
