Political insiders say Penny Mordaunt will use her TV election debate role as a springboard for the Tory leadershipAFP
Ms Mordaunt has even produced a General Election Spotify playlist, with Tina Turner’s The Best and Take A Chance On Me by Abba on it.
With the Tories miles behind in the polls, campaigns to replace Rishi Sunak are cranking up.
Ms Mordaunt is tipped to throw her hat into the ring if she is re-elected Portsmouth North MP.
A minister said: “The TV debates help to make her the heir apparent.”
Others in with a shout include Kemi Badenoch and Robert Jenrick.
Mourdant went nuclear on Labour’s Angela Rayner during this week’s debate between key players from Britain’s biggest political parties.
She started on the defence when she admitted that Prime Minister Rishi Sunak had been “completely wrong” to leave the D-Day commemorations in France early.
But she went on the attack again by criticising Ms Rayner’s flip-flopping on Britain’s nuclear deterrent.
Labour’s deputy leader voted against renewing our vital Trident submarines in 2016 — but last night she claimed she now backs them.
The seven-way debate on the BBC immediately exploded into a row about defence of the realm, with Leader of the House of Commons Ms Mordaunt attacking Ms Rayner for putting Britain in danger.
