Rejected by the Red Wall

RED Wall voters disagree with woke views like those Penny Mordaunt has expressed in the past, a poll has revealed.

Half of people polled in 33 constituencies across the North, Midlands and Wales rejected the idea that a ‘trans woman is just as much a woman as a woman who was born biologically female’, with just 24 per cent agreeing. A total of 73 per cent disagreed that people should ‘refer to pregnant women as pregnant persons’, according to the poll for the Daily Telegraph.

Miss Mordaunt previously commented on the ‘legacy of destruction’ the British empire unleashed on other nations – but 48 per cent disagreed that the colonial era should ‘mainly be remembered’ for this.

A spokesman said: ‘These aren’t Penny’s views.’
