We'll never know for certain but there could be a question about Mrs Truss' election to the leadership of the Conservative party and into the job of Prime Minister.
Could some moves have taken place behind the scenes that Mrs Truss herself might not be aware of?
What if...
There's an influential faction in the Tory party linked to an equally influential (at this time) external think tank. That an MP who was 'incubated' (to use the words of a former leader) by the think tank became a leadership candidate.
What if this influential faction of Conservative MPs linked to an equally influential external think tank nudged just enough wavering MPs to vote for their candidate, even though their candidate was the worst in the race. Just enough votes to put the candidate in the final two who go to the membership for election.
The Conservative party is made up of mainly
older, white men who live in the south of England
What if...
The influential faction of Tory MPs cynically knew that for reasons other than competence or ideology the membership would not vote for the other candidate over their chosen one.
If this did happen...
Could the election be declared void and the losing candidate, who just happens to be the better one, gets the job by default?
