House of Commons: We are one of the oldest, and most respected Parliaments in the world.

Penny Mordaunt speaking to the House of Commons: "The Prime Minister is not under a desk.”

What sort of Prime Minister crashes the economy and sends someone else out to confirm she’s *not* hiding under her desk. How much more of this do we have to put up with? https://t.co/4hbRREYfp9

Call me old fashioned but when people are openly speculating where exactly you are hiding rather than doing your job, maybe have the decency to resign. pic.twitter.com/8rRSXPI5V8

That session in the Commons today will be remembered for three things only: Hunt dismantling the rest of Truss’ programme, “The Prime Minister is not under a desk”, and Truss herself sat there looking like a hostage, silent for 29 minutes. None of those were good for the Tories.

If Truss had any sense of humour she’d silently climb underneath the despatch box desk while Hunt was speaking.

"The Prime Minister is not under a desk" sounds like one of the useful phrases we were taught to translate in GCSE French.

If someone thought they were a contender for the top job, they might just want to accidentally humiliate the person blocking the vacancy. Just saying.

I think she might have known exactly what was going on 😉

Probably fair to say Penny Mordaunt has neatly relaunched her leadership campaign.pic.twitter.com/hYUgfJxJQv
