I’ve got a very important surgery on the 28th. Bets on whether there’ll be a new PM in office by then?

As it turns out, the 28th has been announced as the date on which the final members' ballot (if it ends up going that far) will close, the results will be announced, & Truss & the new leader will successively head over to the Palace Sad

Looks like Truss is going to last 48 days in office. If the election had gone to a membership ballot, she'd have lasted 52 days. The referendum references write themselves.

Looking like 49:

The first cabinet exit is the most predictable one - JRM.

RIP to a real one.

At least we get this out of it:

I love how calls for Party Unity are now always immediately followed by this, hahaha.

Tbf, when converting a Cabinet of Truss loyalists to a Cabinet that you purport is gonna be more representative of the entire parliamentary party's "talents," you're presumably gonna have to cull some Truss loyalists along the way.

Dominic Raab just pitched up in Downing Street - broadly tipped to be headed to either the Home Office or Dept. of Justice.

Rigby speculating on Sky that walking in first means it's one of the Big 3, with Chancellor least likely for obvious reasons but weirdly still non-0.

New arrivals in Downing Street:
  • James Cleverly (current Foreign Secretary)
  • Oliver Dowden (former Culture Sec, Party Chair) - thought to want the Education brief, which would ruffle some serious feathers given his very Americanised "anti-woke" crusade over the past 18 months. Also discussed as Chancellor of Duchy of Lancaster - running the cabinet office.

Zahawi now too.

why do the journalists shout at them as they enter Number 10? They clearly are not going to answer?

They do on occasion, usually cheekily, but often enough to make asking worthwhile.
