Good morning, and if I can just get to the end of this sentence without being interrupted by Rishi Sunak, I’ll have had a less irritating time than Liz Truss at the Conservative leadership debate last night when HANG ON, THIS IS REALLY IMPORTANT oh well.
It was that sort of evening. In truth, as the front-runner going in, Truss probably won’t have minded. The debate was pretty exhausting, but also interesting, if you’re judging it by whether it highlighted some of the differences between the candidates. But as the dust settled, there was little evidence that it had shifted the dial very much.
