The new PM's husband has been called an “earnest”, “unassuming”, Philip May-type character, while Truss says her daughters are helping with her fashion and ...

“I was in favour of having scorecards but I’m afraid the rest of them weren’t,” the new PM recently admitted of their lockdown Come Dine With Me competition. “I do enjoy cooking as a way of relaxing but I haven’t been doing very much of it recently, to be honest,” Truss said in July.

And what exactly do we know about him and the daughters set to grow up under the spotlight of Downing Street?
