I'm guessing Sunak as PM, Hunt remains as Chancellor.

Can understand why Truss agreed to the triple lock yesterday - she knew there was a chance she won't be around when it doesn't happen.

Was this a typo or a very subtle and arch lettuce reference?

The sticking point remains with Sunak, the Conservatives outed Boris because he received a Fixed Penalty notice for breaching Covid rules. Well, so did Sunak, so what was the whole point of this upheaval, if Sunak gets crowned leader. Sorry but if he gets in, I’m still insisting on a General Election.

If Rees-Mogg stands for Leader, I wonder if this will be his campaign poster?

Sunak is the red hot favourite with the bookmakers.

Johnson was ultimately outed more because he lied several times about the parties rather than the fine itself. Even then he probably survived that but after the Pincher stuff came out, and he lied again, which was the final straw.

Sunak can move past the fine alone.

Voters realised he wasn’t just sticking two fingers up at the system he was sticking two fingers up at them too.

Easily. But the green card and his wife’s tax position less so.

Liz Truss has a huge agenda, and she should be judged on her ability to navigate it successfully.

I think that is most likely to be what the electorate will do come polling day.
