Took a look. Daughter of a paratrooper, first of her family to go to Uni, (Reading), very bright, born near where she is now MP. Portsmouth, (ish). Very well received as an MP in the HOC, by all sides.

Voted Brexit. (which did surprise me a bit).

Voted against higher taxes for banks, voted to reduce funding to welfare every single time, brexiteer.

Lacks the rampant bigotry of other candidates, especially on LGBT rights, but she is being forced to row back on that to appeal to tories more.

Looking at voting records her and (gulp) truss are the least far right of the candidates, but none of them are what tge country needs, it will be a complete tragedy when the press treat this as a fresh start and the shy tories trickle back to their masters.

I dont follow it closely enough mate. But havnt the Tory party introduced tons of legislation in relation to all sorts of minority rights over the last 12 years or so?

As for any voting records, the system says you follow the whip.

Agree with this bit, party politics and 3 line whips make a particular MPs voting record not particularly insightful.

That explains her animosity towards any of them being prosecuted for Bloody Sunday or Ballymurphy whilst in the ministry of defence.

The right wing are dragged forward in their beliefs by society not the other way around, their desperate attempts to promote their phoney culture wars being proof of this. The fact that the number one tactic of her opponents to smear Mordaunt is to use her positive record on LGBT rights and promote transphobia is depressing, that she is willing to row back on her beliefs to please these chinless horse fcukers is truly depressing. If you want to spread the word minorities further and still paint the 12 years of conservative power on leadership as a positive for minority communities then that would be peteblue level of lunacy.


As for the whip, they are bound to a degree but the difference in voting records surely shows its a bit more nuanced than that? Also feels a bit 'I was just following orders' as a defence.
