Top Tory Penny Mordaunt last night joked “our comms is s***” - as she dodged giving a 10-out-of-10 guarantee Liz Truss will last two years.
The former leadership contender, who narrowly missed out on the final two to now-PM Ms Truss, gave a speech to a raucous reception just before midnight on the Tory conference circuit.
She earned the dubious honour of being the last minister in Cabinet to publicly defend Ms Truss’s tax cuts for the rich - before a 7am U-turn the next day.
