Odd that Allison Pearson supports Penny Mordaunt for PM, when she is the candidate on record as supporting "trans hype". Trying to backtrack now, but sounds like she's not being honest about it:

Think Allison should have a rethink?

Sara, some of these columnists are told to write a column about someone - they are really guns for hire.
Take the case of Kevin Myers in the Irish edition of the Sunday Times. He wanted to write about something else but was basically instructed to write about the pay gap between women and men. The piece was passed by the Sunday Times deputy-editor and editor in Dublin and at least one senior sub-editor / editor in London before being printed. When the shit hit the fan Kevin Myers got fired NOT them.
That could be a reason for the paper to get its columnists to write articles about the main contenders - a spread of opinion pieces gives a ‘balance’ for marketing purposes. One clue will be if the other high profile writers in its employ write about each of the other main personalities.
I don’t know how else to explain Allison Pearson writing in support of a know supporter of the Trans cause.

I assume it's her own opinion though? I don't think the Telegraph is endorsing any particular candidate?
