Summary
Boris Johnson’s government is imploding. His attempt to stop the rebellion in his party by quickly installing senior Tories as chancellor and health secretary has clearly not worked. In this week's In The City, Bloomberg Westminster reporter Alex Wickham paints a dire picture for Downing street and looks ahead to what kind of chancellor Nadhim Zahawi will be--depending on how long he'll be able to stick around. Plus, Senior Executive Editor for Economics and Government Stephanie Flanders and Bloomberg Opinion columnist Marcus Ashworth join to discuss what the political turmoil could mean for the UK economy.
