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. This is our second podcast from the event, this time with Rishi Sunak, who has incidentally been on Jimmy’s Jobs before in January. In this interview, I ask Rishi how he is going to help businesses keep the lights on and what he most admires in his opponent, Liz. 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 Rishi Sunak: What is his pitch to the generation of voters that have only ever known crisis? How he will protect businesses from rising energy bills and keep the lights on? How will Rishi encourage people back into the workforce? Of all the decisions he made as a minister, what is the one that he would approach differently now? What was the moment Rishi decided to step into the arena and be a parliamentary candidate? If he was 22 in 2022, what sectors would she go into? His advice on raising daughters- that he covered in our original interview! What does Rishi think is his opponent’s greatest strength? Rishi then answers a series of questions from members of the audience, on topics ranging from cryptocurrency to transparency in government.

0:00.0	This show is made possible by the fantastic support of our various partners, and I wanted
0:11.8	to thank the Octopus Group. The Octopus Group is a collection of eight
0:15.8	entrepreneurial-minded businesses across financial services and energy, all founded on the
0:21.6	one simple belief that people and the planet deserve better. They are intent on building
0:27.2	a better tomorrow for future generations and are a certified B-Corp, demonstrating their
0:32.6	care as much about the impact of their investments as the returns they generate. I am proud
0:37.6	that Octopus have backed this show since the second series, and they are the reason why
0:41.9	we are now able to put such a professional show together.
0:45.6	To hear more about what they do, it is worth checking out previous episodes with the Founders
0:50.8	Chris Hula and Simon Rodgerson, or the CEO of their investment arm, Ruth Hancock.

1:09.9	And without too much further ado, I wanted to welcome Rishi Sunak to the stage.
1:17.6	So, 18 months time, you are about to go to the country and call a general election, and
1:29.3	you are going off the back of the toughest economic squeeze that people have ever felt in their
1:36.1	pockets, and the longest recession that we may well have ever seen, according to the
1:40.1	Bank of England. What is going to be your pitch to the country to win a record-fifth term?
1:45.2	Well, the first thing we need to do in order to make sure we can win that election is have
1:50.3	got through this inflation problem by then, and that is why I am particularly worried about
1:54.5	policies that risk making it worse and last longer, because this is a problem that isn't
2:00.2	just for this winter, it is a problem for next winter as well, and beyond, because as
2:05.2	the Bank of England said, they are worried about inflation becoming embedded, then there
