All the the remaining candidates are rabid right wingers but maybe Mordaunt is slightly less extreme than the others so she is probably the least right wing option.Yesterday Mordaunt said she wants more tax cuts and reductions in public spending which I think is concerning. Tory tax cuts almost always favour those on high incomes over those on lower incomes, partly because cuts in the basic rate of tax are really expensive and partly because many Tory donors and voters have high incomes. I thought her comments on trans issues to be both unedifying and a rowing back on past support for this marginalised group. In her favour, she was never in of Johnson's cabinet.</blockquote>
