Diva demands, undiplomatic behaviour, a surfeit of selfies and buckets of Sauvignon. Brilliant extract on Truss’s overseas adventures from ⁦Harry Cole⁩ and ⁦James Heale⁩’s new book

On the rare occasions I was badly enough behaved to warrant a call from Francis about Street of Shame, he was always gentle. When I was starting out, he made me feel interesting when I wasn't. His biography of Tom Driberg is, like its author, learned and magnificently good fun

The line has been that Braverman reported her mistake quickly and was open about it but that’s not what Tim Shipman reported and that’s not what Berry says here

Extraordinary from Jake Berry - says Suella Braverman committed multiple breaches and that cabinet secretary Simon Case made his view clear and that she did not own up to it but was presented with the evidence

Baldwin the last Cambridge educated PM. We must console ourselves with Pitt the Younger, Walpole, Palmerston and the college and papers of Churchill (Sandhurst). Most senior Cantabrigian in the cabinet is Braverman (Raab went to both)

People talk about the grown ups in the room. Not all of them have to be grey beards. Ross was a total pro in very difficult circumstances and has more experience in two years than most people get in a decade

Unappetising as the Braverman reappointment is to many that, combined with keeping Mordaunt where she is, suggests Sunak has picked up some of the power politics that some feared he lacked earlier this year

The last quote is also significant. Security sources regarded her as loose lipped even before the events of last week. Let’s see what now emerges from the woodwork

The cabinet secretary Simon Case must be doing his nut about this. “Absolutely disgraceful” is one of the politer messages I’ve had from senior Tories

Suella Braverman did not mistakenly leak a meaningless document. She endlessly consulted a maverick. She deliberately emailed a policy doc not yet agreed to her pvt email. Then she sent it to John Hayes and someone she thought was his wife. Then lied to PM about when it was sent
