Betty Boothroyd, the first female Speaker of the House of Commons, was remembered today by senior MPs and former ministers. Lord Philip Hammond, the former Conservative Chancellor, and Labour's former foreign minister Lord David Owen were among those attending the thanksgiving service at St Margaret's Church. Baroness Boothroyd, a West Yorkshire-born woman who was first elected to Parliament in 1973 as a Labour MP for West Bromwich, served as Speaker from 1992 to 2000. Following her death at the age of 93, she was dubbed a 'inspiration' who had'smashed the glass ceiling to smithereens.' Among senior Tories presenters at this morning's service were Cabinet minister Penny Mordaunt, the new Speaker of the House of Commons, and 1922 Committee Chairman Sir Graham Brady. Martin Bell, a former Tory MP and former UKIP leader Neil Hamilton, were among those present.

Kirsty Buchanan, who worked as a media advisor to Ms Truss, said they'ran out of excuses" to not appear on Question Time. Ms Truss told aides that she did not invite her to speak to a particular individual in the Whitehall Sources, only to point her out in the green room. Ms Buchanan, a former Ms Truss reporter who served with Ms Truss in 2016 and 2017, made the disclosure as the new Prime Minister emerges to power, not aided by a string of poor media appearances. 'Liz Truss, the ex-journalist and special advisor, told me, 'When she first began working for her, she didn't like the media, so we spent a long time making excuses and excluding minor members of her family so she didn't have to go back to Question Time.' It was "only minor people like aunts and cousins and stuff," she said under question. I'm not talking about major members of the family.'
