Can Liz Truss keep the lights on?

This episode was recorded before the death of Queen Elizabeth II.

Lord Martin Callanan, junior minister at the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, joins Christopher Hope to explain the “bazooka” of Government spending the new Prime Minister has announced to deal with the impending energy crisis, and how it will impact us all.

And director general of the IEA, Mark Littlewood, predicts a radical future for his old Oxford buddy Liz Truss, and insists that the fact she used to wear a Lib Dem rosette isn't a hindrance.

Also on the podcast, Eddie Lister, Lord Udny-Lister, former adviser to Boris Johnson, reflects on his legacy and how shy and retiring the former leaders is planning to be going forward. Plus Laura Farris MP, on why she stepped down from the committee looking into Partygate.
