Know it’s from the ever unpopular Laura Kuenssberg but still makes for an interesting, and slightly concerning, read as I can imagine it simply makes the phrase ‘the lunatics are running the asylum’ truer than it would be anyway.

Poll:

Who would you play at right centre back on Saturday?

The dynamics of the daily briefings have certainly changed since Boris's return.

Liz Truss hasn't been seen for months.

She came to my work once on some jolly, she fell over getting out of her car.
She couldn't run a bath so it's probably best to keep her away from the big stuff.

The key point in that is there will always be a smaller "inner circle" who are the real policy decisionmakers. These are usually either very close allies of the PM or faction leaders in their own right.

Lesser ministerial posts, even up to Cabinet level, are handed out either as rewards for loyalty or to keep people from causing trouble. It has ever been so. But that doesn't make the holders either dynamic or competent enough to be near the levers of power. Plus they can't all be trusted to say the right things in public.
