Penny Mordaunt in the ITVdebate: “The polling shows that I'm the only one that can beat Keir Starmer and take the fight to Labour.' Ms Mordaunt hasn't explained what that claim is based on, but it’s not generally supported by the polling we’ve seen.
that polling had shown her to be the only one of them capable of defeating Sir Keir Starmer. Other candidates immediately responded by saying this was untrue.on 15 July, saying: “In the polling that's been done, I beat all other candidates...but more critically, the polling shows that I also beat Keir Starmer in places like London, for example."
Ms Mordaunt hasn’t explained what polling her claim was based on—we have contacted her to ask but haven’t had a response. It appears she may have been referring to one early poll which showed her rated highly in Greater London compared to Mr Starmer and other candidates, though a second poll asking the same question had a different result. None of the other polling we’ve seen supports her claim.
