        I wish they would stop interviewing people on the grass outside parliament.
        All they encourage is idiots waving around placards behind them.
        It's distracting and should be avoided.

                I've just received a YouTube notifications from one of the financial channels I watch. Title is Liz Truss resigns. There's no way anyone made a video in half an hour. I guess they had that one ready because they saw it coming.

                You can make videos in seconds. That aside, it had to happen

                  Quick, low quality ones yes. But many of the channels on YouTube, or the more credible ones at least, have entire production teams now and script writers. I haven't watched the video yet because I'm at work but I'll bet it's not just the presenter ad-libbing into his phone.

                  More to the point, who wants the poison chalice?! Hunt took about a second to rule himself out. Smarter than I gave him credit for!

                    Looks like we are going to get a quick one decided by MPs which would probably have been better from the start.
