In July 2016, following Theresa May's appointment as Prime Minister, Mordaunt was appointed Minister of State for Disabled People, Work and Health at the Department for Work and Pensions. Mordaunt was promoted to the Cabinet as Secretary of State for International Development by Prime Minister Theresa May on 9 November 2017, after Priti Patel resigned. [44] Exactly how the two know each other is unclear, although the Times has reported that Lewis and Mordaunt arrived together by helicopter at the Hay literary festival this year while other guests relied on more traditional transport to the relatively remote location. In the 2016 United Kingdom European Union membership referendum, Mordaunt supported Brexit. [94] During the referendum campaign, Mordaunt said the United Kingdom did not have a veto to Turkey joining the European Union. [95] Given this is a provision of the Treaty on European Union, Mordaunt was accused of 'lying' over the matter. [96] [97] When challenged about her claim, Mordaunt said: "There is a provision for a veto but we could not have used it because David Cameron gave an undertaking that he would support their accession and having given that undertaking to a NATO country, he would not have been able to walk away." [98] She reiterated her defence of her 2016 comments during her Conservative Party leadership campaign in July 2022.

Most confusingly, the authors repeatedly assert that “parliament must become the defender of free speech” and bring “powerful sanctions” against those who prevent it. However, a part of this is “protecting minority voices”, some of which regard freedom of speech as a licence to offend them. Ending mob rule through social media is one thing; stopping legitimate discourse about, say, whether women can have penises is quite another. The commonsense statement that “demonising men is not only unjust, it’s also counterproductive” is matched by a passage on microaggressions, which include a failure to build enough disabled lavatories and advising (out of concern and not malice) an osteoporosis sufferer to drink more milk. “Politics itself is a minority pursuit”, they write.
