Hello, hello, hello. Welcome to the show. Who is afraid of the big bad Rishi? He's the

Prime Minister, of course, since Liz Truss self-immolated, tragically not just setting her

own premiership on fire but crashing the economy as well with the consequences millions

of people will have to... I'm afraid we stuck with, obviously, for a very long time to

come, 12 long years of Tory rule. Every single point minister, every single Tory leader

has ended, I would say, in quite spectacular fashion. Begin, of course, with David Cameron

after the Brexit referendum. Theresa May, obviously called a snap election, which then

fatally wounded her when she threw away her majority. Boris Johnson convulsed in scandal.

Liz Truss, I don't think we need to go through those glory weeks. And then, of course, now

Rishi, so that's... So, Rishi said like, is he going to book the trend? Because every single

That's a cliche. But I wouldn't say failure really sums up just how badly things have

probably heard it, because I keep using it over and over again. But 30% nearly of Britain's

post-war prime ministers, so that's 77 years since World War II ended. 30% of Britain's

post-war prime ministers have been in number 10 since 2016. I mean, that is absolutely

with no changing government. So the same party stayed in power. And yet, a 30% of all our

post-war prime ministers have been in charge in just six years. Absolutely ridiculous.

So a time obviously of great political instability. My argument is that the reason we have this

political instability actually isn't the Tory psycho-drama. A lot of political reporting,

treats politics as a soap opera. Very extenders and drama, who's up, who's down. I would say that

the threat throughout the kind of disastrous failures of all the prime ministers is an economic
