Reservoir Dogs (Quentin Tarantino): explanation of the colour and meaning of each character
The
main characters in Reservoir Dogs use colours as their names to keep
their identities secret and avoid trouble with the law, but what do
these codenames mean and what do they reveal about each character?
Tarantino
is said to have assigned the names as he saw them in a box of crayons,
audiences have discovered that there is a connection between the
symbolism and meaning of each colour and each character's role in the
story.

TRANSCRIPTION (fast forward 5:44 )
(Sir White)
Lead us into the future.
(Ma’am Blonde)
I'm
Liz Truss. I want to unleash Britain's potential. I've shown. I can
deliver. As Foreign Secretary, I'm now ready to lead the door. Prime
Minister.
(Ma’am Pink)
I'm Kemi Badenoch. I'm the candidate
who will tell you the truth. I'm running because things need to change
and I will make our company better.
(Sir Blue)
I'm Tom
Tugendhat. We know that things have been difficult and we need a clean
start. We're facing problems abroad and at home. It's time to change.
I'm ready to serve. I'm ready to lead.
(Ma’am Orange)
I'm Penny Mordaunt. My life has been about service. I'm here to make the case why I should be your next Prime Minister.
(Ma’am Brown - the host)
Well,
good evening. It has been a dizzying ten days in British politics, the
likes of which we have never seen. Where Boris Johnson, elected with a
thumping majority just over two years ago, was ousted in a tsunami of
resignations from his government over what many saw as dishonesty and
lies.
It happened against a backdrop of a postcoded cost of
living crisis, war in Europe, and now a deadly heatwave, yet another in a
national emergency. So who are the five candidates now vying to replace
him? Has any got what it takes? Who can you trust to steer the country
through these enormous challenges? And who has the character needed to
put Trust back into politics?
Over the next hour, we will try to
find out and give you the chance to get to know them better before the
party decides who should leave them.
All of you, thank you very
much indeed for being here. I'll be asking the questions tonight. You
have seen them in advance. You'll all get an opportunity to respond, of
course. Please be as concise as possible. And the key here tonight is to
debate one another. This is where you argue for your plans and test the
arguments against one another, not make statements, and I'll follow up
where necessary.
And towards the end of the debate, each of you
will get a chance to ask an opponent one question. And again, of course,
none of you know what that might be. Our audience tonight is watching
at home. You can take part in the debate using the hashtag ITV debate.
So let's get going.
Our first question tonight is on the central
issue of this campaign affecting everyone at home. It won't surprise
you to know it is about the cost of living. If you win, you will be
Prime Minister in seven weeks time.
What is your big idea to
immediately ease the unprecedented cost of living crisis that people are
facing? That's the first question now. Your short opening responses,
please. And Liz trust to you first.
(Ma’am Blonde)
Well, I
understand that families are struggling across the country with energy
bills, food bills and higher taxes. What I would do immediately is
reverse the national insurance rise. I would make sure we're not raising
corporation tax, and I would have a temporary relief on the energy
level to cut people's fuel bills. And what I would do is unleash a bold
plan to reform our economy, get growth growing because we cannot get
growth going whilst we're raising taxes. That's very important.
(Ma’am Brown - the host)
Thank you, tom Chuggingham.
(Sir Blue)
Thanks
very much. I've already set out plans to cut tax, which is why I didn't
vote for the national Insurance rise. And I've already set out plans to
cut the fuel duty. The essential thing for all of us now is to set out
an agenda that will see us able to deliver a growing economy into 2024,
because in 24 we are going to be challenged by labor and by Kia Stammer.
We need to make sure that our ideas and the growth that we have
demonstrated are reinforcing the conservative principles that we all
believe in. That's what I'm going to be delivering.
(Ma’am Brown - the host)
Tom Tugendhat. Thank you, Penny Mordaunt.
(Ma’am Orange)
Well,
this is the most worrying issue for so many, not just families, but
businesses across the country. Although I've not set out massive tax
plans in this contest, that's the wrong thing to do. I have introduced
some very targeted support to help struggling families. For example,
having bat on fuel at the pump and also looking to raise personal
taxation thresholds in line with inflation. It's incredibly important we
do that. We've been taking too much money into the exchange off the
back of inflation.
(Ma’am Brown - the host)
Thank you.
(Ma’am Pink)
I
remember what it was like working on a loan away, flipping burgers and
cleaning toilets, seeing my pay slip and all the money.That I paid in
tax, so I get it. And what I want to do is to cut fuel duty. It'll
affect many people and it will make an immediate difference. But we need
to look at why the cost of living is rising and. Inflation is the
problem. So tackling inflation will be one of the first things I do in
an emergency budget.
(Ma’am Brown - the host)
Thank you very much. Rishi Sunak.
(Sir White)
My
number one economic priority will be. Tackling inflation and not making
it worse because inflation is the enemy that makes everything poorer.
It erodes savings, reduces living standards and raises mortgage rates.
And if we don't get a grip of inflation now, it will cost families more
in the long run. So I will deliver tax cuts, but. I'll do so
responsibly, but also get the economy growing, seizing the opportunities
of Brexit to make sure that this is the best country in the world to
invest and innovate. And if we can get that right, then we can all look
forward to a brighter future.
(Ma’am Brown - the host)
Thank you very much indeed. I'll bring in Liz Truss straight away from that.
(Ma’am Blonde)
Richard,
you have raised taxes to the highest level in 70 years. That is not
going to drive economic growth. You raise national insurance, even
though people like me opposed it in cabinet at the time, because we
could have afforded to fund the NHS through general taxation. The fact
is that raising taxes at this moment will choke off economic growth in
order to prevent us getting the revenue we need to pay off the debt.
(Sir White)
Which
is not responsible No, we have to also recognize that we just went
through a once in a century pandemic with all the damage that it did to
our economy. And I think everyone realizes that we were going to have to
pay that back. But I'd love to stand here and say, look, I'll cut this
tax, that tax and another tax and it will all be okay. But you know
what? It won't. There's a cost of these things. The cost of higher
inflation, higher mortgage rates, eroded savings. And you know what?
This something for nothing economics isn't conservative, it's socialism.
(Ma’am Blonde)
Under
your plans we are predicted to have a recession because you have raised
tax. It is cutting back on growth, it is preventing companies from
investing and it's taking money out of people's pockets. That is no way
to get the economy going during a recession.
(Ma’am Brown - the host)
Okay, let me bring in Penny Mordaunt here into this.
(Ma’am Orange)
I
disagree with Rishi. I think you can be a tax cuts I've outlined. I'm
not inflationary, but I think people listening at home will be looking
at us, debating these issues and it seems that we're removed from the
real problems that they are facing. They need some immediate action.
Now, I don't understand why she doesn't accept that, but I also think
there's things we can do that don't cost any money. Making things work
better for people. That's why I've introduced the childcare policy that I
have, making tax simpler so that it reduces the cost that businesses
are having to pay just to be tax compliant. There's many things we can
do.
(Ma’am Pink)
I think what we're seeing in the discussion
that's taking place is that there are no easy options. There are no
solutions, only trade offs. When I was working in the treasury, it was
always a choice between difficult option A, terrible option B, mad
option B, and we need to be honest with the public about how difficult
things are. The government can't solve everything and we need to do
better in terms of the way we fix things.
(Ma’am Brown - the host)
On Penny's question in the treasury, then just briefly on that point about mad options in the treasury.
(Ma’am Pink)
Suggestions that people were putting forward, certainly, yes, from the outside
(Sir White)
I
think Kenny was saying, we work together, she knows what they're like.
But can I just respond to Penny's point, because I absolutely do take
this seriously. And that's why one of the last things I did as
Chancellor was announcing significant support, specifically targeted on
the most vulnerable in our society, because they're the ones that need
our help most. But if I could just come back to Penny on one thing,
because I think I heard Penny, you on the TV this morning saying that
you were going to scrap one of my rules that the government shouldn't
borrow for day to day spending. Now, look, it's one thing to borrow for
long term investment, but it's a whole other thing to the day to day
bills on the country's credit card. And we know how that ends. It's not
just wrong, it's dangerous. And you know what? Even Jeremy Corbyn didn't
suggest that we should go that far.
(Ma’am Orange)
Too many
Chancellors had too many fiscal rules that they then had to ditch
because they haven't been able to meet them. I think you have to accept
we are in an unprecedented situation. We are going to have to do more
for people to help with the cost of living. Where we really need to
concentrate is on growth. And under your tax trajectory, that is going
to be much harder than you're.
(Sir White)
Generally
proposing that we borrow to fund our day to day spending. Putting those
bills on a credit card, literally, Jeremy Corbyn didn't think that that
was the right I'm just going to pause that.
(Ma’am Brown - the host)
Bring
it back to the question, which was, what is your big idea to
immediately ease the unprecedented cost of living crisis people are
facing? Tom Tugendhat where do you insert yourself? What you've heard
here so far, it is the immediate help that people are looking for people
will be looking at their bills rising, look into the autumn, knowing
what's coming back on their energy bills. Absolutely terrifying.
(Sir Blue)
Well,
we're all looking at energy bills at the moment, and I can tell you
what mine are and can certainly tell you that many people in the
community I represent are feeling it. And they're feeling it because
what are we seeing? We're seeing chaos abroad, we're seeing increasing
trouble from Russia, we're seeing increasing trouble coming from
overseas, driving up the cost of energy, driving up the cost of
inflation. It's absolutely here. This isn't just about an immediate fix
and I've already set out a few areas where we should like cutting fuel
duty and making sure that welfare works better and smooth out that
progress from welfare to work. But it's actually more than that. It's
about defending the Conservative record and making sure that what we're
trying to do is get ourselves into a position where we're helping
families so they can grow their economy and they can grow their own
lives.
(Ma’am Brown - the host)
Some of the comments that
have come out of those that are supporting your Camp Liz Trust are
questioning the bank of England's position in what it's impact on
inflation. Can I just be clear one thing? Are you suggesting you ought
to think about changing the mandate for the bank of England as
independence?
(Ma’am Blonde)
I completely support the bank of
England's independence, but I think we need to look at the best practice
around the world, the countries who have been most successful at
controlling inflation. And we need to look at the mandate they have, for
example, the bank of Japan. So the last time the mandate was set was in
1997, in completely different times. And we have to look at where we
are now. Julie, we are in unprecedented economic times and the business
as usual economic strategy that we have the moment simply isn't working
for the people of Britain. It simply isn't bold enough to deal with the
crisis we're in. And we've seen slow growth for decades. We need to do
different, we need to be bolder and we need to take on white horse. In
my role as Foreign Secretary, I'm prepared to drive things through and
I'm prepared to get things done and that's why I would do a good job.
(Ma’am Brown - the host)
I just want to bring in Kemi Badenoch. Very briefly there quickly on the point.
(Ma’am Pink)
About
the bank of England. They are independent. We set an inflation target.
They're supposed to meet it. They haven't been meeting it even before
this crisis and we didn't really do very much about that. We haven't
been marking their home. The people who sit on the Monetary Policy
Committee are human beings. They're not perfect. We need to be bolder at
challenging orthodoxy and of getting things working properly.
(Ma’am Brown - the host)
Is it time to relook at the bank of England? Are they to blame for some of the inflation we've been witnessing?
(Sir White)
No.
I'm worried by some of the things I'm hearing from supporters of other
candidates, because the bank of England's track record over 25 years of
independence is that inflation has averaged 2%. So everybody watching
should actually feel confident that the people in charge of this will
have a grip of the situation and get inflation back down. But I just
wanted to go back on one thing because Liz was asking about growth and I
do have a plan for growth and it involves three things investment,
innovation and education. Investment because if you want better jobs and
higher paid jobs, you need to have business investment. Increase
innovation because we have always led the world in creating the
industries of the future like life sciences and education. I could just
educate because our children's education today is our economy tomorrow.
And if we can get all of that right, that's how we drive this.
(Ma’am Blonde)
Great plan for growth. Why haven't we seen in his last two and a half years of the treasury.
(Sir Blue)
Look
I'll library to answer his own record because I'm finding it very
difficult to understand who's disowning and who's defending the record
of the last few years that they've been in government. It's pretty
confusing to me anyway. I think what we need to do is we need to focus
on what we're going to do in the future, though not in the past. And at
the moment we're getting definite promises of jam tomorrow when a lot of
people are looking for bread today.
(Ma’am Brown - the host)
In response to that Rishi Sunak
(Sir White)
Well,
all I'd say, because we're hearing a lot about promises, we've actually
got to the point we should just reflect on this as a Conservative Party
where even Kirsten is attacking leadership candidates for peddling the
fantasy economics of unfunded promises. If we're not for sound money,
what is the point in the Conservative Party? It's the most conservative
conservative values and that's what I stand for, okay?
(Ma’am Orange)
It's
not a choice between sound money and meeting people's needs and helping
the economy grow. I think that the discussions that we're having this
evening must be very peculiar to people sat at home. We have layered and
layered onto them incredibly complicated support schemes which took you
Rishi, you did it brilliantly. It was two minutes to just run through
the whole list.I know from my background it is incredibly difficult if
you can't afford a bus fare, if you don't have a washing machine, if the
services you are interacting with are incredibly complicated. We have
to simplify this for people and we have to be more responsive. It's not
your fault, Rishi. There's lots of things that need to be sorted at the
treasury, but the fact that your energy package did not take into
account people in HMOs is an example of that.
(Ma’am Brown - the host)
Thank
you very much indeed. I'm just going to pivot this question slightly.
We've been asking you a lot about your immediate economic plans to ease
the cost of living. A lot of people be sitting and looking at their pay
packets. Suggestion came from the Prime Minister was reported yesterday
of a 5% pay rise for public sector workers, for teachers, nurses,
doctors, care workers. Inflation is running at around 10%. Who thinks
that 5% is fair? Who would like to come in on that? A 5% pay increase
for public sector workers.
(Ma’am Orange)
I'm happy to kick
off again. I think this is not the place to be making judgments. We have
pay review bodies as a process, but there are some things we can do to
help our public sector workers. Let me just give you one example. If
you're working in the NHS on band two, you get a new qualification. You
want to move up to band three, but you're a woman that's on some of our
legacy benefits; you're prevented from doing that. There are lots of
things that we can do as well as pay levels.
21:24
(Sir Blue)
What
we need is we need to pay bodies to be looking at this and giving their
independent advice. That's exactly what they're there to do. But we
also need to recognize that the government has a role. The government
has a role in easing the tax burden and looking at the welfare system to
support those who are in need. And that's why the Household Support
Fund for those who are most in need is so important.
(Ma’am Brown - the host)
Kemi Badenoch
(Ma’am Pink)
It
has been a really difficult time with public sector pay we’ve been
having the discussion about raising their pay for a really long time and
the fact is the economy has not been able to sustain it I would love to
tell all the public sector workers they would get five percent ten but
the truth is it’s not going to be that easy We need to create economies
that can fund it. I'm not sure we're there yet.
(Ma’am Brown - the host)
Okay,
let's be clear about this. On this pay off, we're hearing from the
unions, the BMA. It's almost inevitable the path taken will lead us to
direct collision with the government. The teachers will be looking to
ballot the members in October. The nursing staff. The RCN may feel they
have no other choice as an industrial action or strike. Can I ask how
would you stop the strikes, Liz?
(Ma’am Blonde)
So I was Chief
Secretary to the treasury negotiating these pay and terms with the
unions. I think it is very important that the government does stick to
our guns because what we can't have is a wage price spiral. We know what
happened in the 1970s when inflation got out of control. We go back to
that. So we have to to be firm, we have to get the best possible deal we
can in all aspects of helping our hardworking sector workers. But what
we can't have is these inflationary pay rises that lead to problems
across the economy because they'll lead to higher food prices, higher
pet prices, and all the other problems.
(Sir White)
People I
dare say there's probably a degree of unity from all of us on this
point. As Tom pointed out, we have a process where we have independent
pay sector public review bodies and they balance the needs for
recruitment, retention, what's fair and also what's affordable for the
taxpayer. They make a recommendation to the government and it will be
for the government to decide whether to accept that or not. I think
broadly, I would imagine all of us would assume that that is.
(Ma’am Brown - the host)
People
will be watching this, though, and looking at the summer ahead of them
and knowing that there are looming strikes at almost every corner at
which you turn. How are you going to deal with that?

Rishi Sunak (Sir White)
El ex canciller Rishi Sunak fue el primer gran nombre en entrar en la carrera. Hasta los últimos meses, Sunak era considerado por muchos diputados tories como el favorito para suceder a Johnson.
Sin embargo, tras introducir una serie de políticas -como la subida de la seguridad social- que no fueron bien recibidas por los diputados tories, su popularidad ha caído en picado.
También fue multado por asistir a la fiesta de cumpleaños del primer ministro durante el cierre, lo que compromete su capacidad para desvincularse del partygate.
La revelación de que su esposa, la multimillonaria Akshata Murty, no tenía el estatus de ciudadana y, por tanto, no tenía que pagar impuestos en el Reino Unido por sus cuantiosos ingresos internacionales, también dañó su prestigio.
Tras el revuelo causado por el hecho de que la esposa de un ministro no pagara impuestos en el Reino Unido por sus ingresos no británicos, confirmó que lo haría, ya que "ha quedado claro que muchos no creen que sea compatible con el papel de mi marido como canciller".
Sunak llevaba en el Número 11 desde principios de 2020, siendo elevado directamente de un puesto de ministro junior a uno de los puestos más poderosos del gabinete tras la sorprendente dimisión de Sajid Javid.
En cuestión de semanas, el COVID golpeó y el ex canciller asumió un papel destacado en la respuesta del gobierno a la pandemia, anunciando una serie de medidas para apoyar a los trabajadores y las empresas.
Sunak fue elegido en 2015, sucediendo al ex líder tory Lord Hague en el escaño de Richmond, en Yorkshire del Norte.
Apoyó el Brexit en 2016, diciendo a sus electores en ese momento que era la "decisión más difícil" de su carrera política.
¿Cuáles son sus políticas?
Al declarar que entraba en la carrera un día después de la dimisión de Johnson, Sunak lanzó su candidatura en un brillante vídeo en las redes sociales con la promesa de reconstruir la confianza de los votantes tras el tumultuoso mandato anterior.
A diferencia de otros candidatos, se mantiene firme en su oposición a los recortes de impuestos, argumentando que éstos alimentarían el aumento de los precios y advirtiendo que no debe contar a los votantes "cuentos de hadas reconfortantes".
En su discurso de campaña "Listos para Rishi" dijo que bajaría la presión fiscal, pero que era una cuestión de "cuándo, no de si".
En materia social, Sunak declaró al Mail On Sunday que invertiría "las recientes tendencias a borrar a las mujeres mediante el uso de un lenguaje torpe y neutro en cuanto al género" y dijo que "debemos ser capaces de llamar madre a una madre y hablar de la lactancia".
En cuanto a la gobernanza, ha prometido un "gobierno mejor, más pequeño y del siglo XXI".
Penny Mordaunt (Ma’am Orange)
Penny Mordaunt, que fue destituida como secretaria de Defensa cuando Johnson llegó al poder, fue la novena candidata en entrar en liza.
Tras haber mantenido un perfil relativamente bajo desde su regreso al Gobierno como ministra de Comercio Internacional, se la considera ambiciosa y encabezó una encuesta de YouGov entre más de 800 miembros del Partido Tory como favorita para ganar.
Desempeñó un papel destacado en la campaña del "Leave" en el referéndum de 2016 y cuenta con el respaldo de Dame Andrea Leadsom, entre otros.
El diputado conservador Michael Fabricant la ha descrito como "socialmente liberal".
¿Cuáles son sus políticas?
La diputada por Portsmouth Norte y reservista de la Marina Real, que ha subrayado la necesidad de un cambio tras el reciente caos, ha afirmado que el partido debe "centrarse menos en el líder y más en el barco".
Mordaunt, que se postula como candidata a liderar el partido, se ha declarado "sorprendida por la estupidez de lo que ha ocurrido" en Downing Street en relación con el "partygate".
En el lanzamiento de su campaña "PM for PM", prometió reducir a la mitad el IVA sobre los carburantes y elevar los umbrales del impuesto sobre la renta para las rentas básicas y medias.
Tras su paso de un año como ministra de la Mujer y la Igualdad en 2018, ha prometido "devolver el poder a los padres" garantizando el acceso universal a las guarderías subvencionadas antes de que los niños comiencen la escuela.
También ha admitido que Whitehall está "roto" y ha prometido modernizar la forma de gestionar el gobierno con un gabinete "más estricto"...
Liz Truss (Ma’am Blonde)
La ministra de Asuntos Exteriores, Liz Truss, ha sido considerada durante mucho tiempo como una posible sucesora de Boris Johnson y ha demostrado ser popular entre los miembros del partido Tory en las encuestas.
Truss es diputada desde 2010 y comenzó a ascender en el escalafón ministerial poco después de entrar en el Parlamento.
Es el miembro del gabinete que más tiempo lleva en activo, habiendo ocupado puestos con David Cameron, Theresa May y Johnson.
Muchos diputados de la derecha del partido parecen estar apoyándola para evitar que Sunak gane.
¿Cuáles son sus políticas?
En su discurso de presentación de la campaña "Liz for leader", se hizo eco del Sr. Johnson al prometer "hacer cosas".
Se comprometió a reducir los impuestos a las empresas y las familias para que "no se les penalice por dedicar tiempo al cuidado de los niños y los ancianos".
Truss también prometió "zonas de bajos impuestos y baja regulación" para dirigir la inversión a zonas específicas del país, como parte de su "nivelación conservadora".
En declaraciones a The Daily Telegraph, prometió revertir el aumento de las cotizaciones a la seguridad social de abril y "conseguir que el sector privado crezca más rápido que el público".
Esto, según ella, pondrá al Reino Unido en una "trayectoria económica ascendente para 2024", pero advirtió: "Será difícil y llevará tiempo".
Truss también se ha comprometido a "tomar las medidas vitales necesarias" para proteger el Acuerdo de Viernes Santo, "resolver los graves problemas que está causando el protocolo" y ha prometido "aprovechar las enormes oportunidades" que presenta el Brexit.
Kemi Badenoch (Ma’am Pink)
La ex ministra de Igualdad Kemi Badenoch es diputada desde 2017.
A los 42 años, ella, al igual que el señor Sunak, sería la primera ministra más joven en entrar en Downing Street en más de 200 años.
Un sondeo de la Casa Conservadora la sitúa en segundo lugar, tras Penny Mordaunt, como favorita para ganar.
Tras haber crecido en Nigeria, dijo en la presentación de su campaña que había "visto lo que ocurre cuando los políticos se dedican a sí mismos... utilizando el dinero público como sus huchas privadas".
¿Cuáles son sus políticas?
Ha prometido reducir el tamaño del Estado y dirigir un "gobierno limitado centrado en lo esencial".
La diputada por Saffron Walden ha dicho que es partidaria de bajar los impuestos "para impulsar el crecimiento y la productividad", pero que "no entrará en una guerra de ofertas fiscales si mis recortes fiscales son mayores que los suyos".
También ha arremetido contra la "política identitaria" y ha dicho que Johnson es "un síntoma de los problemas a los que nos enfrentamos, no la causa de los mismos", añadiendo que el hecho de no haber formado parte del gabinete es una ventaja en la carrera por el liderazgo.
En el lanzamiento de su campaña habló de "descartar las prioridades de Twitter para centrarse en las prioridades de la gente" y de "ejercicios de diversidad y sostenibilidad".
Su política monetaria se centrará en atajar la inflación, dijo, pero quiere un "cambio de sistema" y no se comprometerá con "micropolíticas" de dar a la gente "50 libras en efectivo aquí y allá", diciendo que muchos de sus electores no necesitan las recientes dádivas del gobierno por el coste de la vida.
Tom Tugendhat (Sir Blue)
Tom Tugendhat, presidente de la Comisión de Asuntos Exteriores de los Comunes, fue el primero en entrar en liza después de que Johnson dejara su cargo.
Ex soldado que sirvió en Irak y Afganistán, Tugendhat creció en Londres y Sellindge, cerca de Ashford (Kent).
Estudió teología en la Universidad de Bristol y luego hizo un máster en islamismo en Cambridge antes de viajar a Beirut para trabajar como periodista.
¿Cuál es su política?
Aunque carece de experiencia ministerial, ha señalado su servicio en primera línea y ha subrayado que es el candidato del "comienzo limpio".
En su discurso de lanzamiento de la campaña prometió revertir el aumento de las cotizaciones a la seguridad social, diciendo: "No lo voté entonces y no lo haría ahora".
También prometió reducir el impuesto sobre el combustible en 10 peniques por litro e igualar la financiación en todas las regiones inglesas.
Aunque señaló su apoyo a una reducción del impuesto de sociedades -un gravamen sobre los beneficios de las empresas-, Tugendhat insistió en que cualquier medida tendría que formar parte de un plan económico a 10 años.
Ha prometido que el Reino Unido será el "sistema fiscal más favorable a la inversión" de la OCDE en los cinco años siguientes a su mandato.
El Sr. Tugendhat y su compañero de candidatura, Jeremy Hunt, proceden del ala del partido denominada One Nation, por lo que se le presionará para que respalde al Sr. Hunt y evite la división del voto.
Apoyó la campaña a favor de la permanencia en la UE, pero votó con lealtad en asuntos relacionados con el Brexit tanto con la señora May como con el señor Johnson.
Como parte de su campaña, también ha declarado su intención de presentar el proyecto de ley del Protocolo de Irlanda del Norte, que según Bruselas incumple el derecho internacional.
