...was once a magician's assistant.
If true, what could have prompted her to give up the limelight for the drudgery of politics?

oooo Jura a tad sarcastic - how unlike you!!
On of her positions lasted 81 days!
Oh, so she’s a ‘ stayer ‘ then .
"Simple" does not mean "true"
On my uppers and doing any work I could I was once a magician's assistant, Sandy.
If the one she worked with was as bonkers as the one I worked with she is better off in politics.

I wasn't suggesting that there's anything wrong with Penny Mordaunt being a magician's assistant.
Indeed, when compared with former PM Ted Heath's part as the back end of a pantomime horse when he was up at Balliol, it seems a fragrant role.

If there was, I’m sure someone will get a Penn and Tell ‘er.
If she gets the nod, has any other country ever had 3 women PMs (or equivalent?).
yes
There are several countries and a list of female leaders can be found here, https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_elected_and_appointed_female_heads_of_state_and_government#
One for the oldies here. Is Penny M going to get the job for basically the same reason as Jim Hacker?
yeah foo
the first leddy Prime Minister was Mrs Bandarinaike
Ceylon, but even with a name change, that hasnt turned out well

Hopkirk: Or Nicola Murray?
With luck she’ll revisit her ‘now you see me now you don’t’ act.
Here is Penny Mordaunt's Twitter thread on what is a woman (see the thread itself for pics and links she is referring to). Of course, it may all be lies and rewriting history, who knows, but this is what she is saying for the purposes of this contest ...

I hope in the next few days we’ll able to discuss how we get our economy growing again and enable our citizens to live well. Right now, I’d like to address another question that I’ve been asked: Do I Know What A Woman Is?

Yes I do. I am a woman. (here’s a recent pic on me in from @thetimes). I always dress in a swimsuit for the newspapers. Like many of you, I’m used to being patronised & misrepresented. Thank you @ashleyljames @PregnantScrewed @CdreMelRobinson @PN_TomCotterill for calling it out

I am biologically a woman. If I have a hysterectomy or mastectomy, I am still a woman. And I am legally a woman.
Some people born male and who have been through the gender recognition process are also legally female. That DOES NOT mean they are biological women, like me.

All my life, I’ve fought for gender equality. I’ve stood up for women. I’ve listened to them. I’ve been right alongside them in every major battle. I make sure policy is focussed on them. Just look at my track record.

My work resulted in a comprehensive road map of what any government should be focussing on for women at every stage of their lives. It remains relevant today.

During my tenure at @GEOgovuk I challenged the trans orthodoxy with real and genuine concern, especially the volume girls referred into trans services. I set up this Inquiry.

On sport, I raised this years ago. This was important to me because I’ve trained alongside men in the Navy. I support a science-based approach. @uk_sport has done good work, as have @sharrond62 @Daley_thompson and others. The biology is overwhelming important.

It was me that changed maternity legislation that was drafted in gender neutral language ( by another) to use female terms. I have also defended free speech on these issues.

Some want to damage my reputation for whatever reason. They want to depict me as ‘woke’. I was elected by the no-nonsense, down-to-earth people of Portsmouth North. It was a Labour seat. I’ve increased my vote share at each election.
I refer you to their judgment.

I’ve fought for women’s rights all my life. I would NEVER do anything to undermine them. I will continue to protect them.

And those that purport to be champions of women while misrepresenting and undermining them might like to think again.


That’s her suddenly backtracking a few days ago and the trans community have criticised her for it saying she has ‘thrown them under a bus’.
