Exploding Head and Vomit Emojis: Tory MPs on WhatsApp

As soon as Liz Truss resigned as prime minister, names of possible successors starting popping up. The reactions to some of those names was not so kind within the Conservative party--think exploding head and green vomit emojis, according to our political reporter Alex Wickham. In this episode of In the City, David Merritt and Francine Lacqua discuss the path to prime minister with Bloomberg reporter Ellen Milligan, and we hear insights from Wickham (like all the WhatsApp gossip), Tory MP Karl McCartney, and former Liberal Democrat leader Vince Cable. Plus, Bloomberg finance editor Katherine Griffiths joins on what the political mess means to the City of London's reputation and whether business leaders feel the worst is over--or yet to come.Here's a list of all the things you need to sign up for. For a daily look at the stories that matter in the UK, sign up now for our newsletter, The Readout with Allegra Stratton: https://www.bloomberg.com/account/newsletters/readoutAnd to figure out what all that means for your money--sign up for John Stepek's daily newsletter Money Distilled:https://www.bloomberg.com/account/newsletters/uk-wealth See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
