Hello and welcome to a special edition of Spectator TV. Just over three months ago, Liz

Trust left 10 Downing Street, and since then she has said nothing.

In an article for the Sunday Telegraph, she has detailed what she thinks went wrong in number 10 and what next for the Conservative Party.

We then had the budget and all the aftermath of that.

So I wanted to take some time to look at what happened and look at what lessons I could learn,

what lessons we could learn, because clearly I went into

number 10 with a bold agenda. I wanted to change things. That's why I put myself forward to be

prime minister. And that didn't work out. Although there were some things that we managed to achieve,

namely the energy package, which prevented people facing very

high bills that winter, and I believe, stopped a lot of businesses going up business.

We also were able to get rid of the health and social care levy and eliminate that from

our tax system. There were other things that didn't go so well.

And so I wanted to take time to think about it, to look at what had happened.

And there were particular issues, for example, around liability-driven investments that

caused the markets to be quite tricky.
