Justine Greening’s leadership campaign gathers pace

If anyone is wondering who is No 10’s least favourite MP today, Mr Steerpike’s money is firmly on former education minister Justine Greening. The Remainer MP has been a thorn in Theresa May’s side as of late, but she ramped up the disloyalty this Budget day, when she told told ITV’s Good Morning that she would quite like to take over Theresa May’s job:

Greening has been hinting for some time that she considered herself leadership material. In August this year, the MP released a set of professionally shot videos and photographs which had all the hallmarks of a personal campaign.

Officially, the promotional materials were made to support ‘The Social Mobility Pledge’ a charity which aims to get businesses to support social mobility in the UK.
