Make Penny Mordaunt deputy PM to unite party, Liz Truss told
With most Cabinet roles already decided, promoting a leadership rival could help a PM who is ‘very weak in her parliamentary support’
Why Penny? Whose race died early on. Why not someone who lasted a little longer? Keme. Rishi even?
Hmmm, whassat? The suggestion comes indirectly from Penny? Ah, well then…..
How many transwomen will be in the Cabinet ?
Well, hardly any of the men have balls, Otto…
Penny should be made Minister for Saying the Word ‘Cock’ in Parliament.
JuliaM wins the thread.
Snakes. Why does it always have to be snakes?
It’s Lions sometimes. And flame-throwers.
How is Honorary Captain (formerly Honorary Commander) Mordaunt’s RNR service going?

Not very far. I believe Sam’s suggestion to be a fair reflection of her ministerial abilities. Thank
People always say this, and i’m not saying they’re wrong, but the rather have them in the tent pissing out theory is just a theory. Having able people on the backbenches may be a waste of ability but if they disagree with you on the direction of travel, are opinionated and ambitious, you don’t necessarily quash anything by giving them a ministerial box. Rather you could be lining yourself up for endless leaks, anonymous briefings (from a ministerial source)and then a flouncy max publicity resignation. Lizz strikes me as having the right instincts save perhaps the political killer instinct, which may come with experience. However if she’s constantly in appeasement mode with a load of wets round the table, its going to be hard for her.
We are in a right pickle. I have no idea whether this Truss lass has any merits at all. But I suspect we’d be best served by a cabinet of like-minded politicos prepared to take the risk of giving conservatism a chance. Ever the optimist, eh?
Reasons to be optimistic: Boris has gone. Sir Kneel hasn’t.
Reasons to be pessimistic: everything else.
I’m not really optimistic of course. On too many matters the pass was sold long ago.
Sounds like a copy Biden idea – make an lazy, incompetent, unpopular, untuthful fool your deputy in hope it makes oneself look better
Cabinet: Disapointed Redwood not Chancellor, instead it’s anonther PoC green, woke loon
