Trussterf*ck: Why Liz Truss' Biggest Disasters Are Still To Come

Season 1
•

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?


We're joined by New Statesman Senior Editor George Eaton economist and writer James Meadway to talk it all over.
