Hi
Things are getting dirty, it is get Mordant time.
First to rubbish her was David Frost, now Lord Frost, who was appointed by Boris to oversee the Brexit Negotiations, then to become our Lead Negotiator and who negotiated the Oven Ready Deal , including the NI Protocol.
A Civil Servant, he was awarded a Life Peerage by Boris and a great Boris Supporter.
He is also promoting Liz Truss.
There isnāt another round until Monday. And before then there are TV debates, with their capacity to catapult or crush the reputation of the participants.
They take place at 19:00 BST on Channel 4 on Friday, then at 19:00 on ITV on Sunday and at 20:00 on Sky News on Tuesday.
Tuesday ?
Iāve seen it advertised for 7 in the papers, but on their actual listings it says 7.30:

Also:
Leadership rivals will face off in a live programme on Channel 4 later, with another taking place on Sunday.
And Sky News will be hosting a debate on Tuesday night at 8pm - after more candidates have been eliminated through further rounds of voting in Westminster.
Yes I said that I too have seen it advertised for 7, but on their actual tv listings page which I posted, it says News at 7 followed by the debate at 7.30.
If anybody is interested thereās a Conservative Home Hustings (whatever that is) on Sky News at 1.
I just watched Penny Mordaunt on Sky interview and she speaks very well, all the right answers, carefully rehearsed a presented, no fluster and bluster, the complete opposite of Johnson
But didnāt she used to be in PR? Sheās doing a top PR job on herself 
Hence, the hatchet job against Penny Mordaunt
Indeed ā¦ PR was one of the strings she added to her bow.
To pay her way through her studies, Mordaunt worked in a Johnson & Johnson factory, and became a magicianās assistant to Will Ayling, a past President of the Portsmouth Magical Society and of The British Ring of the International Brotherhood of Magicians.
Mordaunt has attributed her interest in politics to her experiences working in hospitals and orphanages of Romania in her gap year, while that country was in the aftermath of the 1989 revolution.
Mordaunt read philosophy at the University of Reading, graduating in 1995 with upper second class honours. She was the first member of her family to attend university. Mordaunt was active in student politics and served as President of the Reading University Studentsā Union.
After her graduation, Mordauntās employment was focused on public relations in various sectors. Under Prime Minister John Major she was Head of Youth for the Conservative Party, before working for two years as Head of Broadcasting for the party under party leader William Hague (1999ā2001). She worked as a communications specialist for the Freight Transport Association (now Logistics UK) from 1997 to 1999. In 2000, she worked briefly as Head of Foreign Press for George W. Bushās presidential campaign. She was Communications Director for the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea from 2001 to 2003, before leaving to set up a new Anglo-American website called āvirtualconservativesā.[From 2004 to 2006, she was a director of Media Intelligence Partners.
Mordaunt worked for the Bush campaign again in 2004. She was a director at the Community Fund, which merged with the New Opportunities Fund to create the Big Lottery Fund, and created the Veterans Reunited programme, enabling service men and women to visit World War II battlefields and be involved in commemorative events. Mordaunt worked for the Big Lottery Fund from 2003 to 2005. In 2006, she became one of six directors at charity Diabetes UK, a role she held until 2009.
As a āhead girlā type, sheās been quite good at a lot of things and makes friends easily.
Yup, apparently the Mail is slagging her off too.
Sheād get my vote because of that.
They donāt call him āFrostā for nothing.
The way he turned on Penny M shows that he knows that sheās a real contender, unlike the player heās backing.
I think Penny Mordaunt has a good chance of getting into the top two for the Members vote-off.
I am keeping my fingers crossed that she and Sunak get through to the final two. (I donāt think the Tory Members will choose Sunak, looking at the polls)
I have nothing against Tom or Kemi but I canāt see them pulling enough votes to get through to the final 2 now - and I am a bit worried that Liz Truss may pick up enough of their votes to get into the final two - I fervently hope Truss doesnāt end up getting picked as Party Leader.
Mordaunt is much to woke, and although sheās now trying to backpedal it doesnāt ring true to meā¦
If āwokeā means what the dictionaries say, I think itās a good thing to be -
alert to injustice in society, especially racism. (Oxford Dictionary)
aware of and actively attentive to important facts and issues (especially issues of racial and social justice) (Merriam-Webster Dictionary)
It seems that English folk have slightly twisted its original meaning
āWoke nowadays refers to being aware or well informed in a political or cultural sense, especially regarding issues surrounding marginalised communities - it describes someone who has āwoken upā to issues of social injustice.ā
Do we want a Leader who is not well informed about these issues?
I donāt
Well, I accept that whoever wins it is going to be a Tory! 
I thought Suella Braverman would have been a good PM but sheās out now.
Goodā¦the less right we end up, the betterā¦
Bye, bye Cruella
For a few years anywayā¦
