Penny Mordaunt criticises SNP’s ‘appalling record’<\/h3>\n

Penny Mordaunt made jokes about the Labour Party, HS2 and parliament\u2019s Etonians at a speech to a think tank\u2019s Christmas Party last night.<\/p>\n

Ms Mordaunt was guest of honour at the Adam Smith Institute\u2019s annual festive gathering, being introduced by former Cabinet Minister Nadhim Zahawi who became the organisation\u2019s Director earlier this year.<\/p>\n

The sword-wielding Leader of the Commons said she had turned up to \u201cbring you some hope, some confidence in our preparedness, a little bit of joy and Christmas love, which as you all know are the themes of advent\u201d.<\/p>\n

She drew laughter from the audience while joking about new advent calendars being sold by Parliament\u2019s gift shop.<\/p>\n

She said: \u201cIt is not too late to get an advent calendar if you\u2019ve not got one already, and I\u2019m just going to give a quick plug – if you don\u2019t mind – the House of Commons\u2019 gift shop.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have some lovely discounted advent calendars: we have an HS2 calendar – I don\u2019t recommend it, it\u2019s very overpriced and it only has enough chocolate to get you through to the second week of advent!<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have a Labour Autumn Statement advent calendar, which looks fabulous but on closer inspection, there are no numbers.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut my favourite and my recommendation to you is a creative collaboration by all the old Etonions in parliament: it looks like an ordinary advent calendar but all the doors have been opened for you by your dad.\u201d<\/p>\n

She thanked the right-wing free-market think tank for their \u201cincredibly important work\u201d, but said the Government has more to do when it comes to cutting taxes.<\/p>\n
