Kwasi Kwarteng on Liz Truss's "insane" decisions

The News Agents

The former chancellor Kwasi Kwarteng joins us at News Agents HQ for an exclusive interview.

He reflects on his disastrous time as chancellor under Liz Truss, and the mini-budget which sparked a market crash. He still bristles when asked to apologise for his role in it all.

He discusses the future of the Conservative Party as it searches for its new leader, the US Presidential election, and of course his thoughts on Liz Truss herself, describing her as an "unusual" woman.
