'They are a party of goal hangers': Tory minister mocked for 'cringey and embarrassing' football analogy as she launches attack on Labour and Gary Lineker
A Tory frontbencher has been widely mocked on social media after using a 'cringey' football analogy to have a pop at Gary Lineker and the Labour party.
"They are a party of goal-hangers and the occasional left-wing striker" she continued. "Hanging around the goalmouth, poised to seize any opportunities and take an easy shot. "And it needs a team captain who knows his own mind, has a plan and knows what colour his football shirt is. Labour might be up half-time but the second half is yet to be played."
Labour MP Paula Barker said: "Clearly Penny Mordaunt doesn’t watch a lot of football. What on earth is a left-wing striker? Also, the best number 9s stick it in from close range so I’m not following the goal hanger insult either. Sad." Whilst Dolores Magdalen said: "Nothing moe painful than hearing crap drafted by civil servants and read out by ministers which pretends that they are up with the issues of the day." "Script by Alan Patridge" another Twitter user said.
