Those shyster Lib/dems backed down.on their pledge for free university places in England as in Scotland and Wales.

The electorate lost all confidence and trust after that debacle.

Pretty bloody tame compared to BoJo’s exploits though, isn’t it.

Let's take a closer look at her background.

Let's......

The former defence secretary and Brexit supporter officially launched her campaign on July 13, with a pledge to slash fuel duty and “capitalise” on leaving the EU.

Mordaunt did not otherwise refer to climate action or net zero targets during the address. However, writing in the Telegraph earlier this week, Mordaunt signalled her support for net zero, saying her Party’s plans for decarbonisation could help create three million green jobs by 2030 – though it was unclear how this would be achieved. At a 1922 Committee hustings event this week, Mordaunt confirmed that she would keep the UK’s 2050 net zero target.

Despite signs she backs the UK’s emissions reduction plans, Mordaunt has also received funding from a number of donors with links to the UK’s most prominent climate science denial group, the Global Warming Policy Foundation (GWPF), which campaigns against net zero policies.

Between 2019 and 2021, she received £20,000 from First Corporate Consultants, a management consultancy founded by Terence Mordaunt, GWPF’s then chair. It is unclear whether the two are related.

Ahead of the 2019 general election, Mordaunt received a £3,000 donation from hedge fund manager Michael Hintze, who has also funded the GWPF.

On Monday, Mordaunt welcomed the endorsement of motoring lobbyist Howard Cox of the FairFuelUK campaign, which is funded by the Road Haulage Association, and pledged to cut fuel duty by 50 percent. Cox is a climate science denier who runs an All-Party Parliamentary Group with Conservative MP Craig Mackinlay, chair of the Net Zero Scrutiny Group, which has extensive ties to the GWPF.

In her role as trade minister, Mordaunt was involved in a controversial trade deal with Australia which saw the UK government eliminate key language about climate policy, the environment, and concerns about deforestation and pesticide use.

seeing as the uk's and the eu's ridiculous obsession with climate change and greenism and of course the impossibility of successful implementation of related policy without rapidly bankrupting businesses and people it should be postponed for 20 years, it wouldnt make the slightest difference to the climate seeing as the major "offenders" are still "offending" at even greater amounts, so mordaunt would certainly get my vote.

I have to say, I'd forgotten about that little arrangement but it was a pact and fell a long way short of a coalition. There have been several arrangements between the two parties but not coalitions. Even the first Labour government was the result of a pact.

...and Joe, I meant Lab/Lib coalitions rather than just coalition.

She deserves a promotion just for this.

I guess you'll count yourself lucky to be around for the next season, let alone the next decade.

Meanwhile, parts of the UK may well be 40 degrees for the first time ever this weekend.

By the way, the Independent had a nice segment during last night's debate on Climate Change. That Kemi is a fuckin’ wacko.

Is this broad perfect ? Hell no. But she's a 49 year old British politician. For a middle aged British female politician , she's alright.

Man-child who is rating a female politician by her looks has some things he'd like to say about insecurity...

This is where the Venn Diagram of a stupid take; pathological need for attention; and knowing he can't gain it with an interesting or informative take just becomes one big circle with this stupid fuck.

Indeed, and the people that are putting her down or you down for thinking she is alright should be ashamed. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder and we aren't talking about what she looks like, rather that she has the balls and brains enough to run.

Referring to you and backspit?

You’ll blind yourself to anything just to spread your shallow, self absorbed ‘understanding’ of feminism.

WTF! Backspit and a few others commented on her looks which isn't the point. We are asking about her as a PM. She has brains and balls to be running.

You quoted backspin before your comment. So who is in this ‘we’ group with you?

Why are you suggesting woman has balls?

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

**malmomike77** · 16-07-2022, 10:37 PM

I believe Mercans like their women to have balls and spunk.
