Is Truss' time up?

Charles Lewington, a former Press Secretary when Sir John Major was Prime Minister, joins Christopher Hope to talk about why he thinks Liz Truss will have to trim more measures from her mini-Budget to save her premiership, and whether Ben Wallace or Rishi Sunak could be the installed alternatives if the PM was forced to resign.

Also in the Red Lion, the new Chair of the Foreign Affairs Select Committee, Alicia Kearns, on how she'll take on the role, how her rivals dismissed her as 'an inexperienced young woman', and why she believes you cannot be too much of a disruptor when you are Prime Minister.

Plus the Telegraph's own Dominic Nicholls tells Chopper he believes China is the real winner in the Russia-Ukraine war.
