And so it's goodbye and farewell to Liz Truss. All the best and thanks for, well... nothing, really.
After just 44 disastrous days in office, another bungling incumbent of 10 Downing Street has bitten the dust. Truss replaced Boris Johnson on September 6, her predecessor doing her the huge favour of leaving his post with the bar for integrity, honesty and all-round competence pretty much on the floor.
Rather than do anything to raise it, the former foreign secretary somehow contrived to trip over it and stumble from one disaster after another, a remarkable achievement in such a short space of time. With prime ministerial bingo set to throw up a new Tory leader, the whole thing is beginning to resemble that of football's managerial merry-go-round. Even then, there are an abundance of managers famous for their short period in situ who have still managed to outlast the woman appointed to literally run the country.
