Rick Thompson is in Paris with his family for a special report on British politics. The new leader of the Conservative Party, Liz Truss, could be gone within days or even minutes. He explains how it's possible to get rid of a prime minister without facing a vote of no confidence. And he talks about what happened when Boris Johnson was forced to resign after years of lying.
My dad returns to talk more about UK politics, this time describing the disastrous economic policy of Liz Truss and her Chancellor (finance minister) Kwasi Kwarteng.
