💥 Cabinet minister Penny Mordaunt tells me #TimesRadio benefits SHOULD rise with inflation: “I’ve always supported - whether it’s pensions, whether it’s our welfare system - keeping pace with inflation. It makes sense to do so. That’s what I voted for before.” 1/4
Mordaunt: “We want to make sure that people are looked after and that people can pay their bills. We are not about trying to help people with one hand and take away with another.”
First cabinet minister to go public to oppose the idea of not uprating benefits with inflation 2/4

Mordaunt also calls for a return to proper cabinet after 45p tax row.

A former minister said: “It’s as bad as partygate. I’ve got members resigning telling me they’ll never vote for me again while she is prime minister. Where is she? If you are going to be Maggie at least come and front it out.“
A red wall Tory MP: “I think the plans are the right ones, badly communicated. More needed to be done to connect the energy stuff - one of the biggest welfare interventions ever - with the growth stuff. I’m all in favour of tax cuts but there has been a shit PR management of it.”
