So today the PM told his new Cabinet he doesn't expect them to 'do radical or strange new policies'. Fair enough on strange, but radical? Is this effectively a policy vacuum while a leadership election is managed? No radical solutions for the cost of living crisis? No, it seems.

Now we know the final two in the #ConservativeLeadershipContest. An interesting choice for members: an ex-Lib Dem and Remain supporter; or the very well heeled Brexiteer and former hedge fund man. Surely the question members need to ask: are either of them election winners?

We really need to know who those 2 spoiled ballot papers were from in the #ConservativeLeadershipContest . My money is on existing Cabinet members…just saying.

What Truss got at her press conf today from journos: unfriendly fire from the Telegraph and the Sun; why aren't you going from Mason and Pesto? No wonder she was looking frantically for the Daily Mail...

Politics today (insert appropriate Cabinet Minister): declare complete support in the name of ‘unity’ to the person you didn’t support previously at all.

I’m genuinely curious as to whether the right wing populist ‘change agenda’ characterised at the Conservatives conference will gain any post-conference polling momentum.
