Has the Conservative Party had enough of Liz Truss?

The Tory leadership - in the form of shadow chancellor Mel Stride - is setting out to remind voters how dangerous their own Liz Truss was. He's pledged in a speech this morning that their party will never again risk the economy with unfunded tax cuts, and admitted the credibility of the UK economic framework was undermined by her misplaced policies. Why is this coming now? And what does it say about the current Tory leadership difficulties and their challenge with Labour's narrative? We talk to former chancellor Jeremy Hunt, author of a new book, 'Can We Be Great Again?' and we bring you the fight back that is Liz Truss.The News Agents is brought to you by HSBC UK - https://www.hsbc.co.uk/
