Can a new Conservative PM restore confidence in the UK? | Inside Story

The United Kingdom is set to have its third Prime Minister in less than a year.
Liz Truss resigned on Thursday, just 44 days into the job.
Her economic policies had spooked the markets and caused a sharp fall in the pound against the U.S. dollar.
A new leader now faces formidable economic and political challenges.
Government debt has risen to its highest levels in nearly 60 years. That's 98% of economic output as inflation surges.
And there's the unfinished task of navigating the implications of Brexit.
The opposition Labour party is calling for a new general election.

Presenter: Sami Zeidan
Guests:
Afzal Khan - Labour Party MP
Peter Oborne - Political Commentator and Associate Editor at the Middle East Eye
Alex Deane - Conservative Party Member and Political Commentator

i love "situational flexibility"

[kerankerai]

No the Tories are damaged for a generation. People will not forget.

[dmisso]

Talk about falling in the same hole by not changing your route!

[RSattaur]

Supreme executive power is derived from a mandate by the people, not by playing musical chairs with leadership of a party.(Monty python revised)  The conservatives have shown us what governance by them entails. It is time for a general election, and a change of direction to better distribute the wealth generated by the electorate.

The guest is outraged about Johnson's possible return. Look at united states, 2024 is not too far off and you still hear of possible return of Trump. World has gone mad.

[stopdeforestation]

It's too bad Jeremy corbyn can't be PM. He's my favorite member of Parliament. He's a decent man

[californiathug]

Keep The Fools Deviated & Engaged in Brexit & Politics 😂

[davidcwitkin]

Why can't the King and/or the Lords step in and force the Commons to order an early General Election?

[dylanharper]

The problem is the Brexit, and the problem with Boris is that he got it done, when nobody wanted it

[accountantasia]

UK is similar to Japan previously before Abe, always change Premier Minister.

Rishi sunak is the best candidate, Boris is a liar
