Well, the Prime Minister is speaking later today and hes urging conservatives to stick by him as a new welter of reports saying hes going to be ousted in the next two weeks. Some tories are attempting to use leader of the house, some tories are attempting to use mordaunt, the house, some tories are attempting to use mordaunt, ase house, some tories are attempting to use mordaunt, as a house, some tories are attempting to use mordaunt, as a candidate Penny Mordaunt, as a candidate to trigger leadership race. To trigger a leadership race. Well, if you recall her, she was the one who wielded with aplomb the ceremonial sword at the kings coronation. Is that really a reason to make someone next Prime Minister of the United Kingdom . The fact they held us all with great dignity and style for a whole hour. Oh my goodness. If that is considered to be a qualifying characteristic of becoming Prime Minister, then i genuinely need to leave this country because thatis to leave this country because that is utterly ridiculous. That and that is what shes best known for. Shes pretty good commons as good in the house of commons as speaken good in the house of commons as speaker, never run speaker, but shes never run a major at rishi, of Major Ministry at rishi, of course, was least chancellor course, was at least chancellor of was of the exchequer. She was International Development secretary, away money, secretary, giving away money, frankly, which we frankly, money which we shouldnt away anyway. Shouldnt be giving away anyway. And shes been leader of the commons. She was defence secretary about three weeks. Secretary for about three weeks. No it. And no no qualifications for it. And heres that i cant heres the thing that i cant stand. Too woke. So she stand. Shes too woke. So she refers to were going to bring sarah colleague from sarah vine, my colleague from the and decent the mail, and decent conversation. Referred conversation. Shes referred memorably to memorably in the commons to pregnant wrong pregnant people. Whats wrong with pregnant people. Whats wrong witia lot , and pregnant people. Whats wrong witia lot, and i dont think she a lot, and i dont think she has the warmth, the connection. Has the warmth, the connection. I dont like the way she answers some of the questions in the house of commons. I dont like the way shes quite snooty about things and quite dismissive of people who agree with her. People who dont agree with her. No. Im the person no. 100 not. Im the person you want over. Believe no. 100 not. Im the person you want over. Believe me, want to win over. Believe me, shes not. Shes not that. Shes not it. Sarah, youve written about this. Know, penny morden. This. You know, penny morden. Ive mordaunt a ive known Penny Mordaunt for a very time. Nice lady. Very long time. Very nice lady. She of cats. Yeah, she has lots of cats. Yeah, i have one cat. Not. Not a reason to become Prime Minister. I mean, i think the thing is, the danger what happened last the danger is what happened last time the tory party elected somebody on the basis of the grass roots choice. Grass roots choice. So shes shes doing really well on conservative home, which is the grass roots website , the is the grass roots website, the last time we elected a leader on that basis, we got liz truss, liz truss and that, you know, so theres a massive disconnect between the kind of person who appears to the tory grassroots voter and the kind of person who would well general would play well in a general Election Campaign and who has to appeal the entire country and appeal to the entire country and i think, i think thats thats a problem. I mean, people like the tories tory grass roots tories like her tory grass roots people because she people like her because she comes family. Comes from military family. Yeah, did awfully well at yeah, she did awfully well at the dignified, the coronation, very dignified, etcetera , etc, the woke stuff, etcetera, etc, the woke stuff, i mean, a of people dont mean, a lot of people dont perhaps dont know that she was quite unsound on all that stuff, very upset. I mean, she really was. And a lot people who , was. And a lot of people who, you know, a of women from you know, a lot of women from all political backgrounds , you all political backgrounds, you know, right, middle, top, know, left, right, middle, top, bottom, all unite behind this idea that, you know, we dont we dont want womens rights to be eroded. And sort of she eroded. And she was sort of she was unsound on that. So for was very unsound on that. So for me, thats thats a real problem. She has a twin brother to whom shes very close because they mum when they whom shes very close because they very mum when they whom shes very close because they very young. Jm when they whom shes very close because they very young. Thathen they whom shes very close because they very young. That made ey whom shes very close because they very young. That made them were very young. That made them very close. Was almost very close. And she was almost like is a like mum to him. And he is a hes activist in the, in the hes an activist in the, in the trans field. And i think hes had being very careful how i phrase this heavy influence on her, undue influence on her call you what you will and he she sees a lot of and of course shes entitled to her views. How can the Prime Minister of this country hold view country possibly hold the view that, theres that, more to the point, theres no what are you doing . Youre rearranging deck youre rearranging the deck chairs titanic. I mean, chairs on the titanic. I mean, you have a new leader now, you cant have a new leader now, thats that would just be thats just. That would just be madness. Since the general madness. One, since the general election laughable and election should be laughable and starmer call an election starmer would call an election rightly. Know , youd go rightly. And, you know, youd go straight to the polls. I just think its, know, i think think its, you know, i think rishi has, you know, rishi, i personally i mean, this poll that we had in the mail on sunday at the weekend, which was catastrophic , 250 seats. Catastrophic, 250 seats. I personally think it could be worse than that. The worse than that. I think the conservatives, ive said this before, could before, you know, they could find for cancer and find a cure for cancer and people still vote people still wouldnt vote for them. General feeling them. Theres a general feeling of people tired. Of malaise. People are tired. You theres a theres you know, theres a theres a sense that that that theres almost nothing that they can do to ship around. Rishi, to turn the ship around. Rishi, bless hes going to keep bless him, hes going to keep trying. Know , youve got trying. And you know, youve got to him for that. To respect him for that. But i think sometimes life you just think sometimes in life you just have take the medicine. Yeah. Have to take the medicine. Yeah. And tories might and i think the tories might just the medicine. Just have to take the medicine. I was with some tories at the weekend on friday and they said the same thing. Nobodys listening. Doesnt matter what theyre. So they the theyre saying. So they had the budget. Big poll by budget. There was a big poll by michael at the weekend Michael Ashcroft at the weekend showing there lot of showing that there was a lot of popular cut in National Popular the cut in National Insurance the insurance was popular and the tax still the tax was popular, but still the tories poll rating went down further and i think this is the other thing. I think a lot of people feel quite disenfranchised in this country. I mean, you know, i dont really know who to vote for. Mean, im for. I mean, im, im a conservative, you i conservative, but i, you know, i dont really theres no one i mean, dems are just sort mean, the lib dems are just sort of sitting around like vultures waiting pick over the carcase of sitting around like vultures wathe; pick over the carcase of sitting around like vultures wathe tory3ick over the carcase of sitting around like vultures wathe tory defeat. R the carcase of sitting around like vultures wathe tory defeat. Reform rcase of sitting around like vultures wathe tory defeat. Reform are e of the tory defeat. Reform are just, theyre just all just, you know, theyre just all the people hand the mad people on the right hand side you know, are side who i think you know, are just bit kind of okay, just just a bit kind of okay, just a bit too, you know, conservative. Well, to their sort of conservative you know, im conservative in a, you know, im quite socially liberal, you know, theyre on, theyre on the sort of colonel, what i would describe as sort of telegraph side of toryism, which is fine. You know, theres but but you know, theres no but but everything fractured and, everything is so fractured and, and its hard to know. And so its hard to know. Theres theres person theres no theres no one person uniting everything. And you look at and you of at keir starmer and you think of this, you this, this sort this, you know, this, this sort of hes going to be of people that hes going to be putting charge, this putting in charge, this so called know, angela so called quad, you know, Angela Rayner and know, whos, rayner and you know, whos, whos sort embroiled in whos whos sort of embroiled in this about her two this bizarre story about her two homes. You know, who bought her council flat on the right to buy scheme. Which me again , scheme. Which reminds me again, who brought that in . Margaret thatcher . You know, this is a woman who says all tory are scum, and she benefits from scum, and yet she benefits from a conservative policy. It just all feels so sort of mad and hypocritical muddled up. And all feels so sort of mad and hjust ritical muddled up. And all feels so sort of mad and hjust dont muddled up. And all feels so sort of mad and hjust dont reallynuddled up. And all feels so sort of mad and hjust dont really ijddled up. And all feels so sort of mad and hjust dont really i my ed up. And all feels so sort of mad and hjust dont really i my great. And i just dont really i my great fear at the election is that people just wont vote. Think people just wont vote. I think youre and youre absolutely right. And i think that whats going think that is whats going thats really because, you thats really sad because, you know, important. Know, democracy is important. And, know, weve seen and, you know, weve just seen the in russia. Look the elections in russia. Look what there is no what happens when there is no democratic vote. So what do you think is the plan in number 10. Just keep pushing on to the autumn i hope that keir starmer does something. Hope reform. Dont gain any more momentum. Yeah. Stick to the knitting and just carry on. Stick to their knitting. I would just do that i think i think Penny Mordaunt should come out today or tomorrow feels tomorrow whenever she feels ready and say, look, im not running maybe running to be the leader. Maybe rishi give a job. You rishi could give her a job. You know, nothing wrong with that. Give give her give her a job, give her something to if people, you something to do. If people, you know, the grassroots tories know, if the grassroots tories really her, then give her really like her, then give her a role, you know, fantastic. Going to get a cut in were going to get a cut in inflation think inflation on wednesday. We think there a cut interest there could be a cut in Interest Rates but will they get any rates but but will they get any benefit for it. Well the thing about well i mean the thing about politics about politics and the thing about good none of good politics is that none of the policies do ever the policies that you do ever see benefit for at least ten see any benefit for at least ten years, you never you know, years, you never get, you know, you dont get the reward you you dont get the reward immediately. So immediately. Thats why its so difficult, in a sort difficult, you know, in a sort of election because, you of election thing, because, you know, good work that you know, all the good work that you do wont do probably wont, wont percolate after do probably wont, wont percol. Dead after do probably wont, wont percol. Dead buried. Er youre dead and buried. See the were you pleased to see the front of the sun, kate . Front page of the sun, kate . Yes. Yes, absolutely. Yeah.
