RISHI SUNAK TO BE OUSTED THIS WEEK?

• Sunak in trouble if Tories suffer catastrophic defeats in local polls Thurs
• Tories may lose as many as 500 council seats in the elections
• Tories already bracing for defeat in London
• mayor Sadiq Khan expected to be re-elected
• Tory MPs could trigger vote of no confidence in Sunak

 

• Penny Mordaunt could be crowned party leader unopposed 
• if Rishi Sunak is forced out

Penny Mordaunt has that 'Margaret Thatcher' look about her.  She was/is an officer in the British Royal Navy (Reserves). She was once Britain's only female Minister of Defence. Her political base is the Royal Navy town of Portsmouth. Her father was a British paratrooper, bombing other peoples' countries. Plus she is admired by George Galloway (just trivia).

Royal Sword Bearer - Penny Mordaunt 'showing the way' for King Charles at his coronation. Pedigree and credentials seem right.

• some hail Ms Mordaunt as only viable 'candidate'
• Ms Mordaunt has  'charisma to move the dial' if Sunak ousted
• Ms Mordaunt has been trying to persuade everyone
