Summary
In this the second of a two part series, co-pilots Pearson and Halligan dig into the data files for some of their most explosive voyages on the rocket of right thinking, from 2023.
The rocket featured many unique interviews from stowaways from many different worldly professions. In September the rocket also had a visit from former PM Liz Truss who stopped by to tell our co-pilots why current PM Rishi Sunak needs to ditch the 2030 Net Zero target in favour of more traditional conservative policies, also taking a candid look back at her own brief premiership.
Back in October, in light of the shocking events happening in the Middle East, the rocket welcomed IDF soldier Ben who gave his personal account of the harrowing events happening on the ground in Israel.

| 0:30.0 | Since spending just 49 days as Prime Minister back in the autumn of 2022, |
| 0:34.8 | Truss has placed herself at the heart of a sizable group of campaigning Tory MPs, |
| 0:39.8 | pushing for what she calls pro-growth measures to promote enterprise and |
| 0:44.0 | prosperity rather than an ever-growing state. Liz Truss jumped into the rocket |
