who had a real grip on the country s economic situation, and he emphasised time and time again he is going to act responsibly, and i think created a bit of a problem for those candidates who are spraying out the idea of tax cuts, and also those who are spraying out the idea that we can somehow cut public services, which is always far harder to do than many think. so i think he did himself a big favour. penny mordaunt had a lot of momentum going into the debate. i do wonder if some of that momentum is beginning to slip away, because her performance perhaps didn t match some of the expectations, which were admittedly quite high. liz truss didn t really perform very well. i mean, i think that is the consensus. but on the other hand, it s important to realise that she does have a lot of backers within the parliamentary conservative party because she does stand for that low tax, small state conservatism, and of course she carries the good wishes of everybody who wants to prevent rishi sunak
