Getting Britain Moving (Back In With Mum and Dad) – Weekly Edition

After U-turning on their mini budget, do Kwarteng and Truss have a vision beyond lining their mates pockets? Plus, with mutiny in the ranks, including from general-election-calling Nadine Dorries, what’s the latest from the Tory conference? And, after Truss’s grilling on regional radio last week, we ask where would we be without local journalism? This week’s guest is Richard Hayton, associate professor of politics at the University of Leeds.

• “The atmosphere at the Tory conference is weird, but everyone agrees Truss is either out or can’t get any lower.” – Marie Le Conte
• “This is the first time I have seen the Bank of England rescue a government from its own policies.” – Andrew Harrison
• “Truss tells a joke and painfully holds out for a laugh which is never coming.” – Marie Le Conte
• “The good bit of Kwarteng’s speech was that it was very short.” – Justin Quirk
