Summary

Amidst the delusional craziness of Liz Truss’s interventions, she raises one valid question: Does too much power lie in unelected institutions? Since 1979 a huge amount of power has been handed over by elected politicians, and only Truss explores the implications as she sees them. Time for the Rock & Roll Politics co-operative to step in and save an important question from the fleeting Prime Minister. Rock & Roll Politics is live at Kings Place London on March 26. Tickets here. Rock & Roll Politics is live at the Ropetackle, Shoreham on March 13th. Tickets here. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Hello and welcome to rock and roll politics, the podcast with me Steve Richards.

0:27.6

Thank you so much for tuning in wherever you are, and we've got a lot to cram in our time together.

0:33.6

0:39.4

then I'm going to do something that some of you will probably collapse when I say this.

But I'm going to pose the question. Amidst the madness of Liz Truss and the delusions of a figure who presided over Britain as Prime Minister for four catastrophic weeks, does she pose one important question that needs addressing?

1:15.5

I pose it and I think she does actually for reasons I'll come on too. And then we will get through as many of your brilliant questions as it's

1:21.3

possible to do. So is that okay? That's what we're going to do in our time together while you're

1:26.5

running, baking,

1:28.1

walking up Arthur's seat, walking by a beautiful coastal path in Australia or whatever. So first

electron frenzy will be kind of intensifying. So I'm doing the first live shows of the year.

1:52.4

On March the 13th, the legendary rope tackle art centre in Shoreham. So that would be a brand new show there. And then that Saturday,

2:04.1

March the 16th, I'm at the York Book Festival speaking about my new book turning points. And as

2:10.6

well as reflecting on the turning points in the book, posing another question to the one I'm

2:15.5

daring to do today about trust.

2:24.7

And that's whether we are on the edge of a turning point in the UK with this general election and a likely change of government.
