For however long Liz Truss lasts she has already secured her place as one of the worst Prime Ministers in history.
While this paper will not mourn watching her premiership limp towards its inevitable end it does mourn the damage she is doing.
In the six weeks she has held office she has inflicted economic carnage that will leave people poorer and Treasury coffers depleted.
We are all paying the price for her reckless economic gamble through higher mortgages and deeper cuts to public services.
For that reason alone she should be forced from Downing Street as quickly as possible.
Her economic strategy is in tatters, she no longer commands the confidence of her party and she has lost the trust of the public.
If Kwasi Kwarteng has been made to carry the can for the calamitous mini-Budget then, as its main architect, so should she.
But it is not just the leader who must go.
The Tories have turned a once prosperous and stable country into an international laughing stock. They all need to go.
End reffing hell
Grassroots sport in this country relies on the goodwill of volunteer coaches, referees and linesmen.
Those who give up their time in this way deserve our praise but they are increasingly frequently subject to insults and aggression.
Dozens of youth football fixtures have been cancelled this weekend in protest at the abuse levelled at referees. Parents who should know better are not just ruining the game with their unacceptable conduct but setting an appalling example to their children.
If we want sport to flourish in this country then we need to stamp out bad behaviour on and off the pitch.
Just a Cracker
Whether Robbie Coltrane was playing Hagrid, Cracker or a Bond villain, he always brought some magic to the role.
He was a big character who time and again lit up the big screen.
