It Was Mentioned On Radio This Morning That Penny Mordaunt..

[sandyRoe]

...was once a magician's assistant.
If true, what could have prompted her to give up the limelight for the drudgery of politics?

Do you have a problem with Penny's lack of integrity, Naomi? Then why not Boris's?

You’ve read my posts.

[Ellipsis]

Indeed!

Good.

o god all this girlie stuff does me ed in
Can she run the country

you see you say as some do
Rishi cannot discuss poverty issues ( or not-rich) issues because he is too reesshi
then surely (*)
girlies cannot discuss not-girlie issues, because they are girlies

can someone clarify in the usual AB way?

(*) no latin ! but if there were a need it would be mutatis mutandis ( having been changed by changing). Cute huh, not doing latin then I do!

It's true and I'm pleased she's going to win.

Peter Pedant: That was not the most literate contribution you have recently made.

seemed pretty clear to me, Paigntonian:

if it's held against Sunak that, being rich, he can't understand the problems of the poor

Should it be held against Mordaunt that, being female, she can't understand the problems of males?

Is there any gender-based breakdown of who's in favour of Mordaunt?

//Should it be held against Mordaunt that, being female, she can't understand the problems of males?//

Would that be a real male or a pretend male?
