Summary
<p>Liz Truss has already had the most disastrous record of any new British prime minister: after a mini budget which promised a massive raft of tax cuts to the wealthy plunged the economy into turmoil, she's thrown her Chancellor under a bus, u-turned on her policies and appointed Jeremy Hunt. But Hunt is a passionate cheerleader of austerity and has already committed to spending cuts - after years of slash-and-burn economic policies have devastated public services. Is Truss going to survive - and what does a return to cuts mean for Britain's society and economy?</p><br /><p>We're joined by New Statesman Senior Editor George Eaton economist and writer James Meadway to talk it all over.</p><br /><p>Please subscribe - and help us take on the right-wing media: https://patreon.com/owenjones84</p><p>Support this show <a href="http://supporter.acast.com/the-owen-jones-podcast" rel="payment" target="_blank">http://supporter.acast.com/the-owen-jones-podcast</a>.</p><hr /><p style="color: grey; font-size: 0.75em;"> Hosted on Acast.
