spade on x says why wasn't liz truss allowed to let things get worse before they got better? yes.opficsl better? yes. okay. all right, optics i think, simon on x says, if his lips move, he's lying. right. okay. john says starmer must go. please help. right, not a huge amount of chlorine in that swimming pool there, but there we are. your verdict is now in 93% of you think that the prime minister is lying about the state of the economy. 7% of you say he isn't coming up. the british medical association is actually facing a revolt now overits actually facing a revolt now over its extreme stance on puberty blockers, especially for kids. i'm actually going to speak to a nurse who is fighting back against trans ideology and our health service. this, i think, is a rare win for common sense amongst nhs staff. so i'll bnng sense amongst nhs staff. so i'll bring that to you next. keir starmer well, he arrogantly dismissed serious cronyism allegations didn't he. >> not really going to take lectures on this from the people who dragged our country so far down in the last few years. >> but will

the former british prime minister, liz truss, has walked off stage after becoming the latest target ofing a pro—donald trump speech when a banner was lowered behind her. man: i have no idea - where that's come from. scattered applause and laughter well ms truss responded on x, saying: "what happened last night was not funny. love island star and businesswoman molly mae hague has announced her split from fiancee tommy fury today via instagram. the pair met on the 2019 series of love island. hague has the biggest social media following of any former contestant. fury is a boxer, as well as the brother of heavyweight champion tyson fury. with more on this our reporter emily brown. is this getting a lot of attention? yes it is. this is arguably the most high—profile couple to emerge from the itv show, love island meeting on the itv show, love island meeting on the 2019 series of the reality tv show and have been together since. in january last year they welcomed their daughter bambi and molly mae hague has a huge social media following, close to 80 million followers on instagram and has the

if you remember when liz truss with the prime minister, there was this horrible situation where thereas mismanagement in terms of messaging from the finance ministry and there was a huge selloff in u.k. bonds. the u.k. budget does not come until october. the new chancellor of the exchequer has been giving all the right messages. it sounds as though she is on top of things, that she will be prudent in delivering a message through her budget which is pleasing to the rating agencies. the bank of england being cautious folk will want to see the details. they want to see it delivered in the right way and they will be reluctant to lower interest rates again until they see exactly what the government delivers, and that is why traders are counting on. traders are getting excited and i think the bank of england will move earlier. they will probably be disappointed, because they want to be sure they do not cut rates and then the fiscal situation deteriorates and they will have to go back to hiking again. no central bank wants to flip-flop on its messaging, so how the government delivers its fis

and yet they still did it, >> but because what you're saying i interviewed liz truss recently and she about the idea of her mini—budget crashing the economy says the figures don't suggest it did crash it. and actually, andrew bailey , the governor of andrew bailey, the governor of the bank of england and the bank of england, didn't they weren't honest with her about this lady's problem . so, i mean, is lady's problem. so, i mean, is there a finger to be blamed, a finger of blame to be pointed at andrew bailey and co? seems to me that the bank of england is has extended its, its reach far beyond its original remit and isn't performing particularly well for the british taxpayer. is that a fair analysis? >> well, indeed. i mean the bank of england itself has recently come out with some analysis saying the bulk of the interest rate rises that occurred are were the result of the ldi crisis and their actions in raising rates. they they wanted interest rates higher that was why they went up. and it wasn't just in britain, because the federal reserve board was doing exactly the same thing in

truss , new biography about liz truss, and he's written in there that she considered scrapping nhs cancerto have said is she serious? what do you make of that ? what do you make of that? >> well, i don't know any more than you do. i've heard of these suggestions. we'll have to wait and see when the book is published. i do think that the mini—budget was harmful to our reputation as a party for sound economic management. it was too cavalier. we mustn't do that again. we've got to rebuild the trust and the confidence of the pubuc trust and the confidence of the public that we as conservatives , public that we as conservatives, can manage and safeguard people's pensions and mortgages and small businesses. that's an essential part of the work that we need to do now as a party. having said that, the corrective measures that were put in place by jeremy hunt and rishi sunak afterwards meant that there was no long term scarring effect, and the economy is actually growing very well now. we're the fastest growing economy in the g7. we've got unemployment low, we have left a good legacy to this labou

didn't work with liz truss . but heck, you with liz truss.t heck, you know, you've got to learn as you go along . and as a result, we've go along. and as a result, we've had three women prime ministers we might indeed have a fourth, depending on the leadership contest that's underway at the moment. >> angela rayner to be fair , is >> angela rayner to be fair, is a strong woman and a strong voice. do you think she's just waiting in the wings, biding her time? >> i suspect she's been told by the press office to shut up because she's bad news. have you seen what's been happening to their popularity ratings? oh, yeah. keir starmer is already well below where he should be. let me let me say this. you know, ihave let me let me say this. you know, i have goodwill towards any government elected in this country after an election that's how our system works. i want them to succeed for the welfare of all of us, and particularly for the most vulnerable in society , including pensioners, society, including pensioners, which i've now been one for a very lo

after after liz truss left office of course, and that's what i think is so interesting.t to be replaced ? leaders who want to be replaced? sunak saying, well, of course i'll talk to farage. i mean, he'll talk to anybody, anyone who's got tory values and is farage or conservative. what do you think? you're a former brexit party mep. >> well, i think in his heart he is a conservative, but i think he belongs to a conservative emotion, a mindset which no longer exists within the party. that's the same with the voters . that's the same with the voters. i think the voters would like the conservative party to be conservative. they would like the conservative party to be more farage for want of a better word, this lot setting out the saw, that's not going to be the case. and i think that will say to those disaffected voters that there's no route back for them, and that helps farage. >> he's rebuilding his party from within. he's planning to put a lot of candidates up at the may elections, and next year he's on a five year project. this story was triggered by mel stride. he, of c

truss around with stupid stunts like this. >> do you vote on?economy, stupid. so i think that, he will he will, probably win on that on that point. i've got a little . that point. i've got a little. >> so are you really holding truth to power? or maybe. are you just a bunch of hypocrites? let's get the thoughts now of my panel let's get the thoughts now of my panel. political commentator jonathan lis and communications officer for the iea reem ibrahim. okay. good evening, you two. >> good evening. good evening, >> good evening. good evening, >> right. yeah here we are. so what do you make of this labour? for years they've been banging on about cronyism and corruption and transparent government. and it turns out that in the years pnor it turns out that in the years prior to them taking government, they've taken half £1 million in donations from unions. i mean, what's that about? >> yes. well, this isn't exactly news. i mean, the labour party was literally established to support the unions, to be funded by the unions and ultimately to bargain on b

truss and i and she called it the doom loop.t of that. we had to grow the economy. we have to grow the economy. >> starmer says starmer says his priority is growth. >> yeah, of course he does. it has to be because if you don't grow the economy, all you're going to end up with is rising taxes, which in their turn kill economic growth. so that's the doom loop. it's a vicious cycle . doom loop. it's a vicious cycle. >> i mean, jeremy hunt, who followed on from you , seemed to followed on from you, seemed to launch a war on unearned income. and we discussed this with john redwood and others last night. we saw the conservative government bringing in rules about non—doms we're seeing and we saw under a conservative government, young entrepreneurs, people in their 30 somethings leaving the country being tempted by tax deals in milan and lisbon and all over the place . yeah. why was the place. yeah. why was the conservative government doing that? >> so look , we tried to do >> so look, we tried to do a different path. the markets reacte

and god alone knows what happened under liz truss. >> the appointment of special advisers is a clearlyrent matter. i'm not criticising the appointment of special advisers. it's pretending these people are civil servants and getting them on full time civil service paid jobs. this chap in the treasury who's a labour party activist and donor, well , who's a labour party activist and donor, well, she's who's a labour party activist and donor, well , she's actually and donor, well, she's actually and donor, well, she's actually a former bank of england special, an expert within the bank of england. >> as far as i'm concerned, the more experts we have in the treasury, the better. heaven knows the country's in a bad enough state bank of england has got everything wrong. >> that's slightly different. >> that's slightly different. >> well, i think that's maybe a subject for another debate, but all the more reason for getting people from the bank of england in, you see, the high mindedness of starmer that i'm not against people being appointed politically. >> i'm not against prime ministers usin

yes, admittedly it's longer than liz truss, but that's not saying much.k of 14 years of conservatives in number 10. they've had 14 years. your party to mark sort out the asylum system. and it's not easy. it's difficult, but it has to be gripped. and of course i'm in favour of speeding up the application process because 18 months, if you're right, about 18 months is absolutely ridiculous . are we though, in in ridiculous. are we though, in in the modern world, in a world in which we do all agree that some people from afghanistan, some of whom have helped us, by the way, in the war effort that we were involved in, and some people from syria have been the victims of horrific violence in that country that we should take some people from those countries. >> i would say we should prioritise women and girls. i'd almost go as far as to say, only if you look at what's happening, that's your view. that's your view of what's happening in that's your view. >> emily, i would say that men, of course, just like women and girls, are capable of being victims of horrific r
