The prime minister cannot afford many days like this after losing a longstanding ally and deputy.
And from the national to the local: one intriguing titbit in the interview was Dominic Raab repeatedly refusing to say if he will stand at the next election in Esher and Walton, the seat he has represented since 2010.It is one constituency in what one party strategist described to me as a "yellow halo" of spots around London that the Lib Dems see as potential gains at the next general election.
But Mr Sunak is inoculated - to a degree - from outright Conservative insurrection, after the party's recent flirtation with oblivion last autumn. Plenty of Conservatives are not surprised that after all of this Dominic Raab is out of government. They had predicted it for months.But, taking a step back, the prime minister can't afford many days like this.
