Penny Mordaunt dispels rumours on plot to oust Rishi Sunak
I have to tell him and break it to him that it’s not going to be pins with Penny. I’m more of a pints with Penny person. But yes, I too have read that I am to be installed rather like a new boiler into #10 next week. And I have to say, Mr. Speaker, there is as much truth to these stories as there is in Labour’s assurances to its business community that it isn’t actually going to do the things it’s been saying it’s going to do and has promised its union paymasters. But let me say again, I support our Prime Minister and I will continue to support him after this weekend and beyond, because his plan is working and I’m going to do everything I can to ensure that Labour do not get a chance to wreck the nation again. This nation has chosen a new trajectory to protect its border, to enable growth, to trade more with the world, to strengthen its partnership with allies.
