Penny Mordaunt in the unenviable position of defending Truss. It’s too bad. She was hankering for the leadership of the Tories but couldn’t hold on to her own seat. This performance probably didn’t go over well in Portsmouth North.

On one hand I really think the Tories should be left to dig the country out of the hole they put it in and serve our their term until the next general election but on the other, one has to wonder just how much more damage they could do

The problem is that they only know how to dig holes…… They have no idea or interest in getting out of the hole they dug.
