Penny Mordaunt can no longer run for a senior leadership role in the Conservative party after loosing her seat to Labour 🔴

Jeremy Hunt survives in Godalming & Ash by just 900 votes

Haven't beaten Blair in 1997

Exit poll 13 for Reform ...did not expect that

The political debate continued in our second mock husting today. Ahead of our mock #UKGeneralElection, students battled it out, discussing key topics including the defence budget, climate change and international relations - but which party will come out on top? @PoliticsShsk

Timely to retweet this with the coming elections
