What went wrong for Liz Truss? | IEA Podcast - a podcast by Institute of Economic Affairs

Liz Truss has resigned as Prime Minister after just 44 days in office, making her the shortest-ever holder of the role.

The announcement came in the wake of negative market reactions to her radical 'mini budget', scrapping almost of all of her tax cutting policies and subsequent internal party disarray.

Much will be said of her premiership, but for now we must ask ourselves, what went wrong?

To answer this, IEA Head of Public Policy Matthew Lesh is joined by Andrew Lilico. In addition to being an Economics Fellow at the IEA, Andrew is Executive Director and Principle of Europe Economics and was supportive of Truss' pro-growth agenda.
