The desperation the Tories goes without saying, what’s being revealed here is how desperate Mordaunt is to become PM.
Putting aside Sunak won’t want to give up his post until he’s delivered a sold for his in-laws in the form of a UK/India trade deal that gives India everything India demands, who in their right mind wants to lead the Tories into defeat.
Has Mordaunt not heard of the glass cliff?
Somebody have a word, the time to take over is after the defeat, then very reasonably blame it on the idiots that came before you.
Mordaunt might also consider what price the rightwing zealots that are the cause of the Tory’s mess are going to exact for their support?
My advice to Mordaunt, sit down and sit it out.
You might not even be an MP after the election.
Bank the good times you’ve had, that bit with the sword was as good as it gets.
