Prime Minister but with no power

On Friday, Liz Truss sacked her Chancellor and appointed a new one.

Today, the new one, Jeremy Hunt, reversed most of Truss's economic policy.

Tax rises for most, except the richest, instead of tax cuts.

And spending cuts to come, although there is little left to cut, if anything.

Truss has not faced the media since walking out of her own press conference, her one defence then about two years of energy caps compared to Labour's six months was also scrapped today.

She ducked attending the Commons today to answer an Urgent Question.

So, with no authority, power, policies abandoned and now hiding in the Johnson fridge, what is the point to Liz Truss?

Even worse than we could have ever imagined.
