The plotting to get shut of Truss of is already underway.
But the good news is that it could lead to a General Election

Won't the party have to go through the whole voting shenanigans again, if they want a change?

^Many moons ago ladies were not allowed to show their ankles, always wore gloves (even whilst dining), thank heavens we have moved on.^

I'm sure that it's still not thought to be OK to be showing your knickers in public, though.

Why was Mrs J going to Balmoral, anyway? Is it usual for resigning PMs to be accompanied by their spouses when offering their resignation to the Queen?

It's apparently usual for both incoming and outgoing to be accompanied. They come in after the matter of State is dealt with for 10 minutes or so.

Here's Carrie's dress.

It's not see through on the model...
Perhaps Carrie didn't realise it would make her look like Princess Leia dressed for the delectation of Jabba the Hut...

I thought it was a beautiful dress but totally inappropriate for a visit to the Queen at Balmoral. I had assumed that she would change into something more formal. And I did think it was see through but hoped that I was imagining it.

I wondered if she was doing some sort of homage to Princess Di?? You know that photo when she was working with children and the engagement was announced.
