JENNI MURRAY: I had really not expected to feel sorry for Liz Truss as I watched her put on the bravest of faces with her husband and daughters and walk away from Downing Street on Tuesday. Oh, the humiliation of knowing that, after only 45 days in the job she had set her laser-focused ambition on, then failed at in the most public manner possible, it was all over. No more living in the most famous address in the world, with access to stunning country homes at Chevening and Chequers. No more sweeping to the Palace to meet the King in a big, flash car. Instead, the removal men were picking up her microwave, her kitchen pedal bin and other mundanities of life to be returned to the rather more modest family home south of the river in Greenwich. I was not sorry to see her go. Her short time in power was a disaster.
