In a bonus edition of the podcast, Sky News’ political editor Beth Rigby speaks to Liz Truss ahead of her first conference speech as Conservative Party leader.
The prime minister says she had “absolutely no shame” in doing a U-turn on the plan to scrap the 45p higher rate of tax. She also said that a decision will be made in “due course” on whether to increase benefits in line with inflation.
