Wow. Penny Mordaunt suggests the public should be grateful for Michelle Donelan as she didn't take a £16,000 redundancy payout she was entitled to after resigning as Education Secretary after.... two daysCommons leader Mordaunt used a bizarre defence today as Donelan came under fire from MPs.
She praised her colleague for refusing to accept the redundancy payment she was entitled to in 2022 when she was education secretary for just two days during the downfall of Boris Johnson. Mordaunt said: “When was entitled to redundancy payments from being secretary of state, which was £16,000, she did not take that and handed it back to the department because it was the right thing to do.
“I would just remind people of that. I think that speaks volumes about the honourable lady’s character and how much she values the fact that it is taxpayers’ money that we are talking about.”Excuses we’ve now had from govt ministers about taxpayers paying £15k damages for the Science Secretary wrong claims get more elaborate.
Wow. Did Penny Mordaunt really just suggest we should all be grateful to Michelle Donelan for not taking redundancy pay for her *checks notes* 24 hours as Education Secretary? Apparently that's a mark of her great character 🤔.Can they really not hear themselves? Penny Mordaunt’s ludicrous assertion that the public should be “grateful” to Michelle Donelan shows just how completely out of touch the Tories really are.
