Welcome to the rest of this politics with me, Rory Stewart, and a lot to cover this week.

We are just a year since Liz Truss's shambolic mini-budget, and she's been out making

speeches justifying what she did to the British economy into politics a year ago.

We get a chance to dig into that a bit.

Secondly, it's UN General Assembly Week, and I'm in New York where I've been saying

President Amalawi and the First Minister of Scotland, and I'm about to go into another

big session on finance and global development, and talk a little bit about what the UN

means in the modern world, why Rishi Sunak is not here?

And thirdly, we're going to talk about something that you wanted us to look at more seriously,

which is the way in which Vladimir Putin deliberately got Europe hooked on Russian energy, and

use that as a way of trying to control European politics and its U-Sight Russia, Ukraine.

And finally, we were going to look at Libya after the terrible tragedy of the flooding,

and look back at what's happened over the last 10 years in Libya.

But first, Alice, Liz Truss, mini-budget.

Well, I don't know if it'll laugh or cry, or watching her yesterday, watching the news

channels presented at some major event.

She and Boris Johnson vied for the title of Worst Prime Minister in history.

A year ago, as a result of the policies that she was defending yesterday, mortgage rates

went up by a third, mortgage approvals fell by roughly the same amount, house prices

went down, now there are some people who would argue that was a good thing, but they wouldn't,

the Tories wouldn't, and the 10-year guilt yields more than doubled, which raised the

cost of public borrowing.
