After nearly five months in the role, Mrs Badenoch is still struggling to get the hang of it.

Where she needs to be fresh, agile and rapier-like, she is nearly always a predictable, clunking blunderbuss.

She tends to be better when she concentrates her fire on one topic, but often takes a wildly scattergun approach.
