CityA.M. has a piece on the ministerial elusiveness of Penny Mordaunt.
Exclusive: Penny Mordaunt savaged by trade colleagues who say she’s been ‘missing for months’
Top Tory leadership candidate Penny Mordaunt has been accused by senior Whitehall figures of neglecting her duties as a trade minister for the past six months, with one claiming “we’ve been a minister down for a long time”.
A senior source from the Department for International Trade (DIT) told City A.M. that other ministers had been forced to “work two jobs” due to Mordaunt, while adding that she had refused to go on several official trips to instead focus on her leadership campaign.
As we know, war has broken out on the Greasy Pole, and this piece is part of it. Worth reading as stories from the Greasy Pole often are, if only because they are so far removed from real life.

Jings, crivens, help ma boab. A politician who turns down a jolly.
No wonder the civil servants were agog.
Does she not realise that the air miles rewards, the duty frees, the hotel chain loyalty points and other well deserved perks for her gang of aids and hangers on as well as those of the accompanying msm are sorely missed.
There are many quality women. Westminster has none. Party preselection procedure has ensured that.
This was pretty good though.

Doonhamer - I bet the civil servants were happy about her absences but not about missing a jolly.
James - that's my impression, too many lookalike stooges being imposed from the centre.
dearieme - I like the way she said it too.
