Will Penny Mordaunt replace Boris Johnson as the next Prime Minister? | New Statesman podcast

Penny Mordaunt is a close second to Rishi Sunak in the race to replace Boris Johnson.

Nadhim Zahawi, Jeremy Hunt and Suella Braverman have been eliminated from the Conservative leadership election, with Penny Mordaunt climbing to second place behind Rishi Sunak.

In this podcast Anoosh Chakelian is joined by Freddie Hayward and Harry Lambert to discuss the remaining candidates in this unpredictable race. They examine the latest polling on front-runners Penny Mordaunt and Rishi Sunak, and whether being a “fresh face” will work in Mordaunt's favour.

As much as I like a lot what Marduant is saying, I think Sunak is better equipped to beat Labour.

There is firat thing Tories are good at delivering...poverty !!! The second is finding something to blame and hate

Most important thing for the environment right now is to fix the economy, secure energy supplies and keep Russia in check! Ukrainian's who homes have been bombed have little concern over co2. Not that I'm dismissing the problem. It's real but needs a long term solution.

She doesn't have the experience. It's as simple as that. Lis Truss is much better qualified and experienced. Sunak will most probably be voted in as PM but Lis Truss will hopefully become deputy PM.

"when your government becomes a corporation" (profit seeking business - not to represent the people and undoubtedly all countries not only England) on the bridge website. Since Elizabeth I, which I didn't know until yesterday.
Via a less censored search engine.
Left wing. Right wing. Same vulture in the middle. Seems it always has been since the Romans, when I think about it, but definitely Elizabeth I 😖

I knew that the government UK Ltd was registered as a business at companies house on the 29th June 2005, and that it appears to have been used to asset strip with all departments and buildings being assigned to commercial corporations (such as EDF, Walmart etc) abroad and registered at Dun and Bradstreet USA, not the branch in England. Possibly some are registered in other countries and tax havens. Many have been renamed or are now 'owned' by another corporation, which is owned by another creating layers to make it difficult to find the actual (fraudulent) owners. The government UK Ltd no longer trades and has not produced accounts as legally required to Companies House. Until around four months ago it was owned by Laird James Coutts (same spelling as the royal bank) as sole owner. The name of the owner seems to now be hidden from public view. Around two or three years ago there was an application for strike off from Companies House and 'rumour' it was to be assigned to a the Crown Corporation before that also was assigned again to another. However, due to an objection the strike off was postponed, but the reassignment of the Crown Corporation went ahead. At the moment you can still see the registration at Companies House.
All departments, various NHS, local authorities, courts, police and buildings either listed at Dun and Bradstreet USA, not the branch in England, or at Companies House along with the buildings. Asset stripped! look it up.

Clearly, as all is stolen from us in fraudulent dealings, those who claim ownership apart from the British Public are not the owners at all.
We must demand the return of our public Government, departments and buildings. People who are not too old, ill and who have the nous, determination and staying power must handle this whilst ensuring that they are not infiltrated. The second alternative is for enough of the employees and public to refuse to acknowledge their authority and to set up a new public sovereign government for the UK, and for each country in the UK, followed by doing the same with local authorities.
Chiefly, taking over the central and other banks or setting up new ones to take business from the is vital.
I am doubtful there are enough people who can and will do it. Too many think that bloody revolution is the only way, but all through history such revolutions are also controlled by the so called 'elite' and results in the same or worse rulership. Demanding the return of what is lawfully and rightfully ours, or writing it off and creating anew are the only other alternatives.

I am no longer on fart buck etc so if you are please pass it on.

After Frost’s comments it is likely that Penny is suitable as PM
