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.

Rishi’s not slow in getting rid of the Truss bunch I see. Despite his warm words I expect he’ll give the cold shoulder to any Boris or Liz acolytes - bar a few token roles.

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 hope @SirGrahamBrady and the 22 Committee can count pretend votes from real ones very soon
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...

New @Conservatives Transport Secretary Anne-Marie Trevelyan setting out the UK’s jet zero and decarbonisation policies for UK aviation #CPC2022
It’s only midday on day one proper of the #CPC22 and we’ve had one u-turn already. Desperately searching fringe meetings for more.
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.
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?
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.
Fancy a summer job? Her Majesty’s Govt currently have many vacancies.
Warning: these may be temporary positions only, and are subject to daily/hourly change.

Who said the Cabinet don’t have resolve? Good to see they listened to @sajidjavid earlier today, if they are now prepared to act.
