us when you went and why it was that the prime minister then jo ann lin you met said well i wish susan shirk was president. the united states. well, that was a pretty exciting for someone 22 years old. i was a graduate student doing my dissertation research in hong kong because. of course, no americans could go to china. so in order to study what was happening, china, you either read the propaganda in daily and other official media or you interviewed refugees who had left china and come to hong kong. so i was there. i along other phd students studying china and we were invited to visit soon after the ping chain. and traveled all over for a month and. as you know, i had the very special express end of four hour meeting with zhou and lyon and the great hall of the people with two of the four gang of four i on either side him. yeah. yeah. when you act in china change how checking on him to make sure that he didn't do anything wrong so it was quite an experience. yes. my luck and the really good. i mean, when i started china, i might never able to go, but things opened up just at the right

well, let's get the views of jo—anne nadler, who's a political commentator and a long time tory supporternew cabinet are about to meet in about 10 minutes time. i'm and a lot of people saying have they got time to turn things round, bearing in mind we've got these local elections? of course coming up in may ? of course coming up in may? well, i think that's one of the reasons for the appointment of greg hammond's, who may not be particularly well known outside westminster in conservative circles , but he is known to be circles, but he is known to be a very diligent campaigner and who has felt particularly in london quite a network of committed campaigners around him. now, of course we do have local elections, as you say, coming up in may, but we also have some pretty elections here in the capital next year around the mayoral race. so i think that will have been one of the reasons why he's been he's very much a team player and somebody who is, i think, very dependable in terms of going out on the media and championing his his own . so i can a lot of good own. so i can a lot of good reasons

jo—anne nadler stuff. right. graeme, since you've bothered to make it into the studio, i will. make a comeback? i think she has made a comeback. look, i think that, you know, the downfall of liz truss was the downfall of liz truss was the biggest political tragedy of my that liz my lifetime. i think that liz truss the free maverick that truss was the free maverick that we really, really we you know, we really, really neededin we you know, we really, really needed in this country. she wanted to implement those supply side she said in side reforms from as she said in the the the interview and in the telegraph, that she telegraph, i say that she challenged by the treasury or orthodoxy to try and change things and they did allow her, the establishment refused let the establishment refused to let her it . joanna, we'll her change it. joanna, we'll bnng her change it. joanna, we'll bring now, joanne. do you bring you now, joanne. do you think that liz truss is any like system when it comes to the fact that she was brought down by this kind of. mr. left wing economic cabal ? well, i m

speaking out to jo—anne nadler, who's a political commentator and a former conservative party stafferbeing in number 10. it's not quite happened that way has it ? well, yes and no way has it? well, yes and no mean as you quite rightly say , mean as you quite rightly say, the times have been challenged and there's a great deal going on and that's, you know, a sort of tumultuous set of circumstances for any leader to face. but i think that that comment about borrowing might be refreshing , as it were, was more refreshing, as it were, was more to do with the fact that we've been through this extraordinary penod been through this extraordinary period in which personalities were dominant and it was actually quite difficult to concentrate on any of the issues that really matter. so it's both , i think, the strength and weakness for rishi sunak that personality, politics is less prevalent now and to a certain extent have been on that front rather calmer the last 200 days. but there's also a big question mark. i think, hanging over the prime minister as to who he actually is, what his politic
