Sooz Kempner’s take on the Liz Truss resignation speech hilariously says the quiet parts out loud
As speculation mounts around the likeliest candidate for the top job in UK politics – after chief mouser of Downing Street, obviously – we can probably rule out some candidates.
Jeremy Hunt doesn’t want the job, which might be the most sensible thing we’ve ever heard him say.
Jeremy Hunt has just ruled himself out of the leadership contest. Still waiting to hear from Larry the cat

Suella Braverman is too busy preparing for her appearances as the new face of tofu.
A couple of years ago, Suella Braverman identified the huge danger posed by cultural Marxists, so I’m writing to ask her what percentage of Tofu-eaters are, in her estimation, cultural Marxists.

Jacob Rees-Mogg can’t fit his children in the Downing St. flat. He also couldn’t fit a fracking well in the Rose Garden.
Jacob Rees-Mogg said he’d be “delighted” to have a fracking well in his back garden. And one thing he always does is commit. pic.twitter.com/VUbBxGEFpQ

Sooz nailed the delivery, there, as always.
In fact, one of the very few downsides of Liz Truss, presumably, heading to the backbenches will be that we won’t get to see Sooz Kempner’s versions of the soon-to-be-former PM’s disastrous public appearances.
Happily, that day hasn’t quite arrived, and this alternative resignation speech has become an instant favourite.
The language isn’t entirely safe for work, but what works for Krishnan Guru-Murthy …
Curse that bad money stuff for scuppering Prime Minister Truss.
Sooz shared the sketch on Twitter, where these comments summed up the situation.

As for who might become prime minister, never forget that things can get worse as well as better.
The time has come. Three words: Prime Minister Dorries.
