Summary

In this week’s episode, host Steve Anglesey discusses the upcoming choice, not between Liz Truss and Rishi Sunak, but between heating or eating as the cost-of-living crisis worsens. On a lighter note, he then hears listeners' thoughts on what Liz Truss's show at the Edinburgh Festival would be called. Then, The New European columnist Paul Mason joins the podcast to discuss how the Tory leadership race is approaching the economic crisis, what can be done to fix the broken financial system and goes through his plan to tackle inflation and avert catastrophe. Finally, Liz Truss, Grant Shapps and Zac Goldsmith all feature in the Hall of Shame this week. Enjoyed this episode? Let us know by tweeting @TheNewEuropean.
