    How To Learn From Liz Truss

    How To Learn From Liz Truss

    How much lasting damage has Liz Truss done to the Conservative Party, and any future leaders hoping to pursue a radical tax-cutting agenda?


    The political masterminds Peter Mandelson, Polly Mackenzie and Daniel Finkelstein join Matt Chorley to discuss the former prime minister's new book and whether she wants her party to win or lose the election.


    And with local elections on the way, does expectation management really work - and could a defeat even lead to Rishi Sunak walking away from Downing Street?


    Send questions, comments and voicenotes to howtowin@thetimes.co.uk, or WhatsApp 0333 00 323 53 with the words 'How To Win'.


    We'll be recording a special episode of the podcast in front of a live audience after the local elections - find the details here.

    Trussonomics isn't dead

    Trussonomics isn't dead

    Liz Truss thought she had two years to save the economy, but her mini-budget caused it all to blow up in less than two months. We're now a year on from her chaotic 49 day premiership, but there are groups of economists and politicians who think her free-market growth strategy was right and it's only a matter of time before it makes a comeback.

    Lettuce Pray
    Truss is back and Johnson never went away – what are they angling for? And can Sunak avoid these two figurative icebergs? Plus, the yob narrative is back on the agenda. Is Tory posturing on anti-social behaviour any more than pandering to curtain-twitchers? And with Australia choosing not to put Charles on its banknotes – who should we put on our money? The panel is joined by Geri Scott, political reporter for The Times.  Get your tickets for OGWN Live at the Leicester Square Theatre on Weds 15 Feb.

    All (Dis) Quiet on the Westminster Front

    All (Dis) Quiet on the Westminster Front

    Liz Truss is back.

    And oh.

    So are those pauses.

    She tells Spectator TV she doesn't want to be PM again but she does want to promote her economic ideas. (You remember the ones that nearly melted the markets). We ask why there has been so little self reflection. And if her economic diagnosis might one day prove right...

    And we speak to Malte Grunert - producer of the world's most harrowing film, All Quiet on the Western Front about German attitudes to war, modern warfare and German history.

    ASK355: What does the Liz Truss situation mean for investors? PLUS: Should I cash in my ISA to invest in property?

    It’s Tuesday and Rob & Rob are back with more answers to listener’s questions. 

    First up is Chris from Manchester. He wants to know what The Robs think Liz Truss’ appointment means for investors.

    It’s a very timely question, not least because of the volatile news cycle with regards to the latest PM appointment.

    Next up is a question from Alex, who has £80,000 in an ISA.

    He wants to know if it’s smart for him to cash in this ISA and use the money to invest in property, or would his money be better spent in other investment avenues?

    Press play and hear what Rob & Rob have to say.
