Has Liz Truss DOOMED the Tories Forever?

Video Description

In a speech today, Shadow Chancellor Mel Stride acknowledged that Liz Truss’s economic policies had damaged the UK’s financial credibility. He pledged that the Conservative Party would never again risk the economy with unfunded tax cuts. It’s a striking admission from a senior Tory figure, and one that raises the question: why now? On today’s episode, Emily and Jon speak to former Chancellor Jeremy Hunt, author of the new book Can We Be Great Again?, about the long shadow Liz Truss continues to cast over the party. We explore what her economic legacy means for the Conservative leadership today, and whether they’re finally attempting to reclaim control of the economic narrative—or just trying to distance themselves from their own past. We also examine what Liz Truss’s ongoing public presence and attempts at a comeback say about the future of the party, and how Labour is capitalising on the chaos she left behind. #liztruss #truss #conservatives #kemibadenoch #jeremyhunt #chancellor #primeminister #rishisunak #borisjohnson #robertjenrick #kwasikwarteng #minibudget #money #trump #tories #government #labour #keirstarmer #Podcast #UKPodcast #PoliticsPodcast #News #Politics #NewsAgents #EmilyMaitlis #JonSopel #LewisGoodall Download The News Agents with Emily Maitlis, Jon Sopel and Lewis Goodall from 5PM every weekday on Global Player: https://www.globalplayer.com/podcasts/42KuVj/ Subscribe here: https://www.youtube.com/@thenewsagents The News Agents is a Global Player Original podcast. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Connect with us on the Socials!
