32:31Now PlayingKwasi Kwarteng and Liz Truss are looking back to trickle down economics, but will it do anything to address this UK economic crisis?
As the cost of living crisis continues, questions are being raised about Liz Truss and her government's responses so far, such as the removal of the cap on bankers' bonuses and tax cuts for corporations and wealthier individuals.
Liz Truss' economic policies represent a turning away from Boris Johnson and levelling up, one that could prove costly at a future general election, argues Freddie Hayward.
Anoosh Chakelian is joined by Harry Lambert, Freddie Hayward and Rachel Wearmouth to discuss what’s really behind the sacking of the Treasury's most senior civil servant, and Prime Minister Liz Truss’s plans to encourage economic growth through tax cuts during a cost-of-living crisis.
Then, in You Ask Us, Rachel Cunliffe joins the team to answer a listener question on whether the police crackdown on anti-monarchy protestors is the result of the Police, Crime, Courts and Sentencing Act.
