Penny Mordaunt: I want to run for the Tories, Reform will be a disaster

Penny Mordaunt: I want to run for the Tories, Reform will be a disaster



In an exclusive interview with The Daily T podcast, Dame Penny Mordaunt opens up about losing her Portsmouth North seat at the 2024 General Election - and why she blames Rishi Sunak’s D-Day blunder for the defeat.


The former Conservative leadership contender reflects on the Torie's time in power, her viral moment after carrying a sword during the Coronation and why she worked as a magician's assistant at uni.


She also discusses the rise of Reform UK, why she’s backing Kemi Badenoch as a “prime minister-in-waiting”, and her own hopes to stand for Parliament again.
