It was a moment for which officials had been preparing for years. When the queen’s death was announced at 6.30pm, Operation London Bridge was activated – and the cogs in the British political system ground to a halt. Truss’s premiership had become a tinderbox. There was no need for ministerial resignations or no-confidence letters – the sense of inevitability that she could survive for only a few more days was overwhelming. The girls will be the first teens living at Downing Street since Blair's term in office. He had three teenage children in situ during his 10-year stay. When he won a landslide victory in 2019 his relaxed relationship with the truth was already well known – but enough voters were willing to set that aside in return for his boosterism and Brexit promises, and because they didn’t like the alternative of Jeremy Corbyn.

With support ebbing away, Truss realised she might not have the numbers to get her plans through parliament. Such a defeat would have been treated as a vote of no confidence. Both were dissuaded from doing so in the hours that followed, but it was clear their authority had vanished – and that Truss had lost control of the government and her party. ‘That’s when I thought she’s totally lost it ’ This contrasts with the much-photographed and scrutinised early years of the children of US presidents, such as Chelsea Clinton or the Obamas' daughters Sasha and Malia. Liberty "has been at quite a few campaign meetings and doesn't hesitate to offer me a lot of political advice," she added. My kids were one and four when I was elected (MP in 2010) so I always say they haven't known any different," she told the newspaper.

Material: 100% organic ringspun combed cotton with the Trainspotting style post with Liz Truss and Twatspotting. His hubristic handling of a series of self-inflicted scandals over the last year – Owen Paterson, Partygate and Chris Pincher – left his integrity fatally wounded and public trust even more diminished.

It was like she’d stripped off all the wallpaper, then the paint and floorboards too. There was basically zero institutional memory left,” one Truss-era cabinet minister said. But her record during the leadership campaign, and before that in government, suggests she is not as honest as she likes to claim, and raises questions about whether she will fulfil campaign pledges.As she was driven towards No 10 on the last leg of her round trip, the car made several detours to wait for a break in the rain in which Truss could make a speech, while a bin bag was temporarily used to protect the waiting, sodden podium. An overwhelming number of the senior figures brought into the administration had limited experience running a Whitehall department, let alone the country. The entire legislative affairs team – in charge of drafting and timetabling bills – was replaced too. I don’t make promises I can’t keep and I am a straightforward person who tells it like it is,” she said at one party event.

She was cut down to size within minutes by the first presenter, who asked Truss bluntly: “Where’ve you been?” It was silly of Liz not to squeeze every ounce of goodwill out of people by being the one to appoint them, so things got off to a bad start on literally day one,” said one of those appointed that day.

In an effort to stay out of the fray, Truss delegated decisions to her most ardent supporter, Coffey. Truss made one last effort to steady the ship, calling a press conference that afternoon. It lasted less than nine minutes but had been intended to go on much longer. She announced a second U-turn, that the planned national insurance rise she had vowed to cancel would go ahead. Wednesday 19 October started worse than terribly. A gruelling prime minister’s questions left uncomfortable grimaces on the faces of the Tory MPs behind Truss. In an attempt to avoid looking like Downing Street had descended into full-scale panic, eight BBC local radio interviews were set up. “They were, objectively, a disaster,” said one of her senior team. Over the course of an hour, interviewers from the radio stations in Leeds (where she grew up), Norfolk (she is the MP for South West Norfolk), Kent, Lancashire, Nottingham, Tees Valley, Bristol and Stoke-on-Trent unleashed the pent-up anger of millions of nervous Britons.

After marrying in 2000, they stayed together when revelations of Truss's affair with a married MP threatened to derail her career a few years later.She has already said she would vote to scrap the Partygate investigation and has refused to commit to reappointing an ethics adviser, saying she “always acted with integrity”. Those who had been leading the campaign to oust Truss knew the moment had arrived. One told Graham Brady, the chair of the 1922 Committee, that there were now enough no-confidence letters from colleagues poised to be submitted to trigger a no-confidence vote. And so on Thursday morning, Brady traipsed across to No 10 to tell Truss she had lost the support of the parliamentary party.
