On this week's episode, Thomas is joined by former NZ political reporter Henry Cooke to discuss the new UK Prime Minister, Liz Truss, after her appointment to the role earlier this week. They discuss the long leadership challenge leading here, the challenges facing Truss, and Cooke shares his experiences with the cost of living crisis hitting the UK.

The episode was recorded prior to the passing of Queen Elizabeth II, and Thomas offers some quick thoughts on what her death means for New Zealand politics.
