A number of MPs on the Tory right believe a Hunt-allied parliamentary researcher spotted the WMS and reported it.

General fury at the apparent 'set up'.

As one source says: 'Wms sharing is not a sackable offence. That is risible.'

If Grant Shapps is appointed home secretary as expected, James Cleverly will be the only occupant of a great office of state to have voted for Brexit.

Would be interesting to know who advised Truss that Braverman had breached the ministerial code as PM does not have an ethics adviser. Kiss of death from cabinet secretary?

Very good by ⁦Lara Spirit⁩ on the Tory moderates and Liz Truss thetimes.co.uk/article/they-m…

This is one of the most shocking housing situations I’ve seen:

An 8 week old baby living in a cold flat with no heating or hot water. The previous tenants ran up a debt so the gas was switched off. The family are walking almost 2 hours to get the baby bathed in warm water.

New: Former Boris Johnson aide David Canzini is back in the fold at No 10, he accompanied Liz Truss to a meeting with the ERG tonight and is “helping the prime minister” as part of her political team.

If you want to understand the man SW1 increasingly believes will be the next prime minister, no better place to start than Patrick Maguire’s columns.

Great piece today on Starmer’s cautiousness — and the two years, 1992 and 2015, that still haunt Labour

Tory MP Angela Richardson tells me on Times Radio
it is “no longer tenable” for Liz Truss to remain as PM.

Suggests Hunt is one of several potential replacements.

But does not resile from her support for Rishi Sunak over the summer and is still No1 choice

So no foreign or security policy decisions as per Gabriel Pogrund's latest scoop and now a big chunk of heath policy off limits as per Joe Pike. Rapidly running out of areas for Liz Truss's *chief of staff* to advise on
