When the Tories start getting through leaders at the rate of one every two or three years, you know they're in trouble. It happened after their rout in 1997, and they were out of power then for 13 years, so hopefully there'll be another rout at the next election.

Yes, but what does it mean when they go through chancellors at the rate of one a month?

I've just, out of curiosity, had a look at Mail Online, to see what it is saying about Truss. Even they - well, Sarah Vine, anyway - hate her and want to see the back of her, although in Vine's case in order to save the Tory party. Kamikwasi is now the shortest-serving Chancellor who didn't die in office (the shortest of all was Iain Mcleod, who popped his clogs after 30 days, in 1970). The second-and third-shortest were Zahawi and Javid, also within the last two years or so. It comes to something when a complete numpty like Jeremy Rhyming-Slang ends up looking statesmanlike by comparison.

Unfortunately you only have to sacrifice your dignity to read the Mail Online, not actual cash. Possibly a remarkable piece of future-proofing on the part of Paul Dacre, given the way the UK economy is going.

It's the Telegraph. Mail Online is free. I never normally sully my computer screen with it, but I was curious to see what it was saying about Truss.

The BBC seems to think there might be some uncertainty about that.

Certainly JRM says he doesn't know what's happening.
