My current nightmare is that the Tories will be hammered so hard this Thursday that the back benches will run a leadership challenger against Sunak ...

… And the party rank and file will then vote Liz Truss in again as party leader.

She's had a year to lick her wounds and work out what she did wrong, and in her tiny mind it can only be that she didn't do everything fast enough and hard enough.

So we'll get a Liz Truss equivalent of the US Republicans' Project 2025.

@cstross On the plus side... this could be the solution to the UK's biggest intergenerational-welfare-dependent families' biggest problem. On day 1 the Palace lets it be known that it has delegated Parliament liaison (or whatever it's called) duties to the Duke of York. Then see if Truss can beat her own record (two days, I think...)

Now I have Nerine Skinner's voice in my head saying "You want me to shake Prince Andrew's hand? No sweat!"
