Penny Mordaunt: ‘Every time a Conservative government has left office, it’s left Britain in a better state’

Answering questions following the business statement today, Leader of the House of Commons Penny Mordaunt said: “Every time a Conservative government has left office, it’s left [the country] in a better state”.

It came after Conservative MP Sir Christopher Chope told the Leader its “time for a discussion about the comparison between the quality of public services in 1983 and the quality of public services today”.
