YouTube Description
as posted by the channelDespite Jeremy Hunt's appointment as chancellor, it is "impossible" for Liz Truss to survive, argues Harry Lambert.
Will Liz Truss last the week? That's the question that Anoosh Chakelian and Jeremy Hunt explore in this podcast. According to Lambert, Liz Truss is increasingly being seen as and "uncharismatic, electorally suicidal leader."
In a desperate attempt to stabilise the financial markets Jeremy Hunt, the newly appointed Chancellor, has reversed “almost all” of the tax cuts announced in the government’s mini-Budget just three weeks ago.
Anoosh Chakelian and Harry Lambert discuss the measures announced in Hunt’s emergency statement this morning, reports that he is now acting effectively as a caretaker PM, and who would succeed Liz Truss should she be ousted.
In You Ask Us, a listener asks if the Tories can get away with switching leader again without calling a general election.
