Posts Tagged: Penny Mordaunt MP

Radical: Despite lockdown, the gender wars rage on. Here’s our round up of the biggest issues of the week.

One of the most striking developments was Mordaunt criticising the use of the word ‘woman’ in the Ministerial and other Maternity Allowances Bill.

By Radical | 3 March 2021

The Mordaunt affair. If there’s a ban on Ministerial engagement with the MCB, it must be enforced.

Whatever guidelines there may be on engagement with organisations, no-one will take them seriously if the Government doesn’t do so itself.

Benedict Rogers: The Government urgently needs an integration plan for those fleeing oppression in Hong Kong

An emergency cross-departmental ministerial meeting must take place – to ensure there’s a strategy for Hong Kongers’ arrival.

WATCH: Mordaunt – “We cannot accept a deal at any cost”

“The only deal that is possible is one that is compatible with our sovereignty and takes back control of our laws, trade and waters.”

Radical: Self-ID for transgendered people has been stopped for now. But the struggle for truth and sense continues.

Equivalent reform is being pursued in Scotland; in combination with its hate speech bill, this would be dangerously authoritarian.

Javid is Chancellor. Tugendhat, Foreign Secretary. May, Home Secretary. Introducing the Alternative Cabinet.

The real one is widely and correctly dismissed as weak.  So we’ve had a go at assembling a stronger team.  Here is the result.

Rob Sutton: Introducing the top 50 Conservative MPs on Twitter

Four members from the 2019 intake make the top 50, beating longer-serving and higher-ranked colleagues.

Johnson, Starmer – and their strategies in firing people

After the Labour leader sacked Rebecca Long-Bailey, others expect Johnson to be tougher on his adviser and Minister.

By Charlotte Gill | 26 June 2020 | 119 comments

Javid delivers the Budget he never got a chance to – via the Centre for Policy Studies. He wants to go for growth.

It’s a good thing for former senior Ministers to keep thinking, going and contributing, and we wouldn’t be surprised to see a comeback to government.

Our survey. Is the Cabinet, which must wrestle with the Coronavirus, fit for purpose?

Four in five of our party member respondents say yes. Hunt is top choice to come in from outside – but there’s no strong support for any non-member.

Iain Dale: My knickers are for the many not the few

Plus: Will Javid come back? Will Boris Island fly? Hazzer, formerly the Duke of Sussex. And: an ice bath in a Scandi forest.

Reshuffle 1) The lesson of this PJ Masks shakeup. For Johnson and Cummings, it is truly Do or Die.

We cheer the mission. But government needs more compromise, art, tact and accomodation than campaigning alone allows.

By Paul Goodman | 14 February 2020 | 151 comments

Iain Dale: My reshuffle predictions. The Prime Minister believes he has delivered for his supporters – and now owes them nothing.

Plus: A sofa, two dogs, no cup of tea – and my Brexit evening. And: the pre-eminence of Policy Exchange.

By Iain Dale | 7 February 2020 | 105 comments

Our survey. Gove is Minister of the Year.

He is one of the few elements of continuity in what has been a turbulent year at the Government’s top table.

By Paul Goodman | 27 December 2019 | 73 comments

“Get out of London.” Now watch Johnson and Cummings turn the country upside down. Or try to.

Don’t expect Downing Street to bother too much about what MPs or the media think as it prepares to shake up government and Whitehall.
