The PM has brought in Darren Jones, whose superpower is ‘relentless delivery’. If that won’t save the world, what will? “If I hear one more of our people saying that deckchairs are being shuffled on the Titanic,” a government supporter of Keir Starmer confided to the Daily Mail, “I will scream.” No need for shrieks.

Expect the first strategy whiteboard to be broken out 370 miles off the coast of Newfoundland.For now, hold on to your aperitifs and continue to dress for dinner, because the erstwhile chief secretary to the Treasury, Darren Jones, becomes something called chief secretary to the prime minister.
