This BBC piece about how we are an international laughing stock where the jokes exceed the bounds of normal diplomacy is full of shitty sentiments about how we are normally seen as such a solid and dependable force on the international stage, how the world is begging for a return of sane Britannia.
US President Biden calls Truss's economic policies 'a mistake'
The US president spoke out as the UK pays a diplomatic price for turmoil, the BBC’s James Landale writes.

She knew she was on the way out so she wanted to raid the chequers drinks cabinet before leaving no 10

Unfortunately Al Johnson took all the contents before he scurried back off to the attic, where he is currently squatting.

I wish I believed that - but given how willing she was to throw Kwartang and her long held economic beliefs under the bus, I'd put money on her doing a massive rehash of policy and a reshuffle in order to stay in office.
Hunt would, imo, probably go along with it. He's pretty unlikely to be PM, but this way it's clear he's the power, he gets to shape policy in a way no one other than a PM (even a PM?) will get to do in the near future, and the longer he 'holds the fort' as a Grown-up, the more likely he is to hold the ring when he eventually hands her the whiskey and the Mess Webley - and the more likely he is to get a big job (he was, iirc, considered a pretty good and thorough Foreign Secretary).
I don't doubt he'll try and give her the heave before too long, but if he wants to be a power broker, he needs to both get his feet under the table and be able to demonstrate a decent success.
(I am, of course, Urbans worst political forecaster 12 years running, so while you've be reading this she's probably been resigning live on TV...)
No idea what's going to happen but sure we'll all be fucked over either way.

The broad concensus amongst my almost entirely uniformed social circle is that it's akin to having a troop of Crack-fuelled monkeys move in next door - wanking on the fence, shiting in the street, screaming at planes flying overhead.

As good as that, eh? Christ but we're fucked.

Hunt reprising Heseltine's role in the dog days of the John Major government:
Right now she’s still in. My somewhat in-the-know prediction is that her leadership will be publicly and seriously challenged tomorrow. On Tuesday, the 1922 committee will change the rules. Wednesday the party will remove her.

Apparently she's on a no fly list. No one wants her near business or economy.

Where's the bloody sun?
Sky is reporting that Hunt will be announcing even more U-turns on the mini-budget this afternoon, hence why he's pulled out of doing his planned media rounds this morning, all this was agreed during his meeting with Truss over the weekend.
No doubt this was more of a case of Hunt telling her what he would do, whilst she cowered behind the sofa.
