Hello, I'm Matt Chorley, and this is Politics Without the Boring Bits.

This week I'm bringing you some of the best stuff that you might have missed this year,

and today's episode is wild. It's perfect listening for political nerds.

We have scoured the globe my Twitter mentions and my inbox to find the most prized items in political history

from the four corners of these isles and the darker recesses of your nerdy, nerdy minds.

We've tried to create the most comprehensive collection of treasures.

We have pillaged and ransacked and taken without asking. We've been to the

workshops and want factories, the kitchens, bedrooms and wardrobes to unearth the

outfits and skeletons that showed the great and good weren't so great or good.

Welcome to the Museum of Political Fiasco's.

It's been in the making for such a long time. It was way, way back on Tuesday when our

head patron Daniel Finkelstein and his slightly chippy assistant John Stevens

discussed the whereabouts of the Liz Truss Lepton. Well John managed to find it.

This is that eye-catching lepton that one that higgledy-piggled-piggled-pile-pile-pile-pile-pile-pile-of-wooden blocks that was used by Lizztrus

as the lectern when she became PM. My interest started, I did an FOI after she left down and

shoot on how much it costs and found out it she cost 4,000 pounds to taxpayers and then

I didn't leave it there. I then later put her in another FO FY to find out what had happened to the lepton.

Had it found a new life, was it still in a cupboard somewhere?

It turned out it was still in Downing Street.

I did the same a couple of weeks ago and we'd almost all

but given up hope that it would find a new life. It was still in a broom cupboard in Downing

Street gathering dust, not loved at all.
