Summary

Welcome to the last two episodes of our 5th season. On Friday, I hosted the conservative leader hustings in Eastbourne and got to ask the candidates, Liz Truss and Rishi Sunak, their thoughts on the future of the economy and how the jobs of the future will play into their mandate. For the first time ever on a podcast, we are democratising these interviews for the wider public to hear, splitting the two candidates across two separate episodes. And, just like in the real event, first up is Liz Truss. We ask Liz a wide range of topics from how she will better help scale-ups to what her favourite podcast is- all the while trying to steer the conversation towards more than just tax… As you may have seen in the news, Liz's Q&A with the audience was interrupted by protestors, which we have for obvious reasons edited out. Otherwise, the interview is the same as it was live. This series has been the biggest yet for Jimmy’s Jobs- launching with the Governor of the Bank of England and ending with the future Prime Minister (whoever that may be). We also hosted our first live event where it was so amazing to see you all in person. We’ll be returning after a short break with our 6th series, where we’ll be hoping to reach even dizzier heights! As always, thanks for listening. Questions we ask Liz Truss: What is her pitch to the generation of voters that have only ever known crisis? How she will protect businesses from rising energy bills? What was the moment she decided to step into the arena and be a parliamentary candidate? How will she encourage people back into the workforce? If she was 22 in 2022, what sectors would she go into? Britain is the best place in the world to start a business- but what more will she do to help scale ups? How would she improve share ownership in the UK? What her favourite podcast is? What does she think is her opponent’s greatest strength? What is her advice on raising two daughters in the 21st Century? Liz then answers a series of questions from members of the audience, on topics ranging from how to get disabled people into work to the climate crisis.

0:00.0	This show is made possible by the fantastic support of our various partners, and I wanted
0:11.5	to thank the Octopus Group. The Octopus Group is a collection of eight
0:15.4	entrepreneurial-minded businesses across financial services and energy. All founded on the
0:21.3	one simple belief that people and the planet deserve better. They are intent on building
0:26.9	a better tomorrow for future generations and are a certified B-Corp, demonstrating
0:32.2	their care as much about the impact of their investments as the returns they
0:36.1	generate. I am proud that Octopus have backed this show since the second
0:39.7	series, and they are the reason why we are now able to put such a professional
0:44.1	show together. To hear more about what they do, it is worth checking out previous
0:48.8	episodes with a founder's Chris Hewlett and Simon Rodgerson or the CEO of
0:53.7	their investment arm, Ruth Hancock. If you want to see how you could partner

1:10.8	Without further ado, please welcome Liz Truss to the stage.
1:14.4	So, first question that I wanted to ask is that there's a generation that are sort of
1:27.9	35 and under that have effectively only ever known as sort of permanent sense of
1:33.8	crisis almost, whether it be the financial crash, Brexit, COVID, and now the news from
1:39.4	the Bank of England yesterday about possibly one of the longest recessions we've ever
1:43.1	seen, and the tightest squeeze on living standards. What's your pitch going to be to win a
1:48.5	fifth term? Well, the generation of people who have grown up recently,
1:55.1	the under 30s. First of all, I think that they are natural conservatives. They're more
2:01.0	likely to have started up their own business, than older generations. They're more
2:05.1	likely to have a side hustle in whatever work they do. They're doing things alongside
