Key moments​

Liz Truss set to sack chancellor with U-turn expected on corporation tax

Tory grandees said to be in talks to replace Truss with ‘unity candidate’

Nadine Dorries accuses Sunak supporters of plot to overturn democracy

Overturn democracy? A few thousand blue rinse ladies down south chose who is PM.

I seem to remember the Tories moaning on & on about Union block votes, that was a bit more democratic than Gertrude from Tunbridge Wells having a major say.

Whoever takes the chancellors job will kiss goodbye to any leadership ambitions.

Hunt in No11 is basically an admission that the sensible boring types have stepped in to the madhouse to restore order.

The outlook now is LT will try to hang on wile the Hunt camp call all the shots holding a gun to her head.

The right wing press and members will go mental over this.

Jeremy Hunt replaces Kamiquasi Kwarteng.

At one level, it's piss funny, this utter fucking shambles.
But we live in this country. So it's really terrifying. Like a 5-year-old who has an AK47 and is wandering about the supermarket, shooting it off.

Shame he’s gone because he was giving the cartoonists ample fun.

Some reports they want him but he's not answering his phone.

I hope one condition is that JRM steps down too, he is a dangerous lunatic.

Its almost poetic - as the country descends into financial chaos every interviewer will begin with "Mr Cun...sorry Hunt" - which will be both accurate and and agreeable to most of the listenership

Rumour that Jeremy Hunt will be asked to be Chancellor.
My prediction is that he'll tell Truss to fuck off.
No way will he want to be associated with that shit show.

Looks like I was wrong.
I can only assume that he took the job on the basis that he will be allowed to make the big decisions on fiscal policy and Truss agreed to sideline herself.

There is a bit of a purge in no 11 - Philp is being booted out too

Just rolls off the tongue....
