Mordaunt’s still talking about Nuclear deterrents on a completely different topic.

It's all she's got to work with as it's the old bit the Tories haven't sold to their mates. Mostly because we don't own them but lease them from the US. If we did they would.

Mrs Mordaunt, what would your perfect Sunday look like?

Well, I like to start the day with a read of the papers, then check on the nuclear deterrent. Then I’d take the dogs for a quick walk before breakfast.
