And you'll be Chancellor and Liz Truss will be Prime Minister this time next month.

0:09.1

Absolutely 100%. I'm not getting anywhere.

Oops, that was quasi-quarting. Yesterday in Washington he is now out of a job and the question

0:19.1

now on everyone's lips is Liz Truss going to follow him. How secure is she in her job as Prime

0:27.0

Minister? I'm joined on what is a remarkable day in British politics by Aaron Barstani. Aaron,

0:31.6

how are you doing? I'm very good, Michael. Very happy to be joining you. It's an exciting day.

It's going to be an exciting show. How long do you give Liz Truss? Will she last longer than it
