Update: Read below and I'm wrong. Prime Minister Liz Truss told Chris Mason, the BBC Political editor and part-time Comedian Correspondent, that she was leading the Conservatives into the next General Election. They will, of course, be delighted. What it means is rather than stand down and make things easy and organised, they will have to prise her out.
So what was the very important business that kept Liz Truss from the House of Commons this afternoon? Why did Penny Maudant take her place.
Had Putin nuked Ukraine? No, she was talking to Sir Graham Brady. Surely the House of Commons and accountability takes priority? He's a party manager.
Then we hear she will have drinks with the cabinet this evening.
Journalists haven't said it, because they haven't been told. But let's speculate. They've discussed her succession and she will slip away quietly.
She turned up to hear Jeremy Hunt wipe away her policies and join her to the 'anti-growth coalition' - presumably her meeting with Sir Graham Brady had a satisfactory conclusion.
