Summary
Matt Chorley and Red Box Editor for The Times Patrick Maguire unpack the brutal exchanges at Prime Minister's Questions, as Liz Truss struggles to save her leadership and claims she's a 'fighter not a quitter'.
Conservative MP Steve Double tells Matt that it's time for Liz Truss to consider her position after dropping most of her campaign promises. Plus columnists Alice Thomson and Robert Crampton discuss whether environmental protesters are 'tofu-eating wokerati', and why things go wrong in France too.
