Welcome to the rest is politics special edition on the resignation of the chancellor with

me Rory Stewart and me Alistair Campbell who had I been introducing it would have said

the sacking of the chancellor that that is his does the sacking of the chancellor let's

be honest here he was fired and pretty pretty dramatic it was one of those ones where

it's become normal now hasn't it when they fly back from abroad everybody follows

them on flight tracker and then helicopter start worrying about number 10 and it all came

out of this this IMF meeting didn't it so he came harry bat for the IMF he need to be fired.

There was obviously a lot of a midi Simon I very much doubt that he will replace the flight

of her majesty the queen from Scotland to England which apparently was the most tracked

flight in the history of flight tracking well but yeah no he he was so there was quasi-quarting

out in America didn't interview asked if he would be in the he and list trust would be

in the same job in a month's time and he said 100% absolutely I'm not going anywhere

and meanwhile number 10 was booking his flight back I don't know where he goes from here

because I don't know if you were able to see her press conference today Rory but it was

pretty bad and I don't see how she divorces herself from the fact that she didn't say

he had done anything wrong she basically she she's been in lockstep as she keeps saying

with him on this it's her budget it's her plan I we got a wonderful when when we announced

that we're doing this emergency podcast there was a wonderful lesson a wonderful message

from somebody called Stephen Hopkins who says that now that she's reversed the mini budget

or parts of it does that mean that she's part of the anti-growth coalition that's good

it but like presumably she is well you know what we were told by both her and Quarting

was that if unless you agreed with what she was trying to do you were somehow anti-growth
