Recent blogposts and postings on social media including Facebook and CIx may have given the impression that Penny Mordaunt MP was a breath of fresh air in the office of Leader of the House of Commons. Titles such as "Best since Sir George Young" and "At last a Leader on the side of MPs" implied that this author was an uncritical admirer of someone who rose above the crude Punch-and-Judy antics of party politics, resisting the attempts to turn Business Questions into an extension of the Prime Minister's Question Time zoo.
We now realise in the light of last Thursday's foretaste of the panto season that in fact she is just another principal Tory boy, all too ready to fall back on such well-worn clichés as: "Labour has no idea", "Look out, Corbyn is behind you" and "You jocks don't know when you are well off". We apologise for any confusion caused to readers by our previous postings.
