[quote]Penny Mordaunt has been promoted to the cabinet as the new International Development Secretary, following the resignation of Priti Patel.
Like Ms Patel, Ms Mordaunt was among Conservatives who backed Leave during the EU Referendum campaign.
Ms Mordaunt, 44, said she was "delighted" to take on the role, as she visited her new department.
Ms Patel quit on Wednesday, admitting unauthorised meetings with Israeli officials had "lacked transparency".[/quote]
Second resignation in a week! You may remember Penny Mordaunt from [URL=http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/politics/conservative/11263673/Conservative-minister-says-ck-six-times-in-Parliament-for-smutty-Navy-bet.html]the time she snuck cock jokes into her parliamentary speech for a bet[/URL]. Funnily enough as a Royal Navy Reservist and former MoD Minister, she might actually have been more qualified than Gavin Williamson to take the post of Defence Secretary but thats the way the cookie crumbles 🍪
Should have taken some advice from Boris 'Bulletproof' Johnson on how not to lose your job.

They all seem to be doing their best to get themselves out of a job down there. It comes to something when the headlines are that the £ is falling simply because the PM is seen as incompetent amongst her peers.
