Summary

The Groundhog Day of the Tory leadership race is over and Liz Truss is due to become Prime Minister. Does she truly gasp the size of the task at hand? And is there any hope for competence in her Cabinet? Plus, more strikes and protests are due this week. And we take a look at the latest from the conflict in Ukraine. Arthur Snell lays out the week ahead with Ros Taylor. “If you could think of the worst time to become Prime Minister, this would be it.” – Arthur Snell  “Even Liz Truss in a terrible economic climate will get a bit of a bounce.” – Arthur Snell "You’d think she’d want to hit the ground running, instead, she’s just going to hit the ground, as she said.” – Arthur Snell "Britain has reached that stage on the international arena, where we’re just the guy who’s going through a midlife crisis.” – Arthur Snell  “Liz Truss has said there will be no rationing of energy – that’s fine until we’re having blackouts later in winter.” – Arthur Snell  www.patreon.com/bunkercast  Presented by Ros Taylor with Arthur Snell.
