advising liz truss that...for serious politics, conservative mp bob seely spoke to lbc. good afternoon. i just want to apologise, i am getting fed up with this soap drama as much as your listeners are. he was fed up. fellow tory mp grant shapps had a newjob. he's a former transport secretary, he voted remain in the brexit referendum, he is considered a moderate. recently he has been publicly criticising liz truss over her tax cuts. now he was in her cabinet. evening, everyone, um, obviously, it has been turbulent times. mr shapps spoke to the press for a minute and 42 seconds. he repeatedly mentioned the chancellorjeremy hunt and at no point did he mention liz truss. the whole week was becoming a test of her leadership and so as wednesday afternoon to evening, i wanted an assessment of how she had done in week so far. few people are better plugged in to the tory mps than the daily telegraph christopher hope. his newsletter and podcast and whatsapp are full of the thoughts of mps and i pulled together some clips

how did markets react today to liz truss's resignation? greetings. rms. it performed really quite well. we have found this problem whereby, because of the lack of uncertainty and the lack of stability and confidence which has been prevailing for the last 44 days, i would like to suggest is about three months since borisjohnson left, we have had a really a headless chicken of the government. people have expressed their displeasure, whether it is with the imf, joe biden, and other people, in particular with the office of budget response ability being no near that mini budget, we saw gilt yields rise from 0.9% to 6.5% about ten days ago. that is catastrophic, considering official interest rates are only 2.15%. they are expected to go up, but we are still, the cost of borrowing to the government is an average of about 4%, in somewhere between the two years and ten years. that is a huge addition to the cost of funding and the cost of funding for the whole of the cost of funding for the whole of the government and the one thing we need above everything else
