Angela Rayner has revealed the contents of her version of the mysterious notes that were passed urgently among MPs in the Commons shortly before it was announced that the Queen had died.
The passing of the notes - including one to new Prime Minister after she had delivered an energy statement containing the biggest economic intervention in British peacetime - was the first public indication that something was amiss.
Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer was delivering his response when Nadhim Zahawi, the Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster, entered the chamber and squeezed between Ms Truss and Kwasi Kwarteng, the Chancellor. He whispered into the Prime Minister’s ear before handing her a note folded into a square.
