Lame duck Liz Truss went into hiding from the public today after performing one of the biggest U-turns in British history.
The Prime Minister sent new Chancellor Jeremy Hunt out to face the media after drawing up a £32bn reversal of her mini-Budget.
She then sent Penny Mordaunt, a possible candidate to replace her, to answer questions in Parliament from Keir Starmer. Ms Mordaunt repeatedly declined to say where the Prime Minister was, repeatedly stressing there was a "genuine reason".
