Liz Truss replaces her Chancellor and U-turns again. Is that enough for her to stay on as prime minister?
Chris Mason and Alex Forsyth have been chatting to politicians and the public, while BBC Newsnight’s economics editor Ben Chu explains what it means for the markets and our money.
Plus, two people who know the PM and her new next-door neighbour Jeremy Hunt very well, former special adviser Kirsty Buchanan and ex-Conservative minister Ed Vaizey, give us the inside scoop on what Downing Street – and the Tory party – might do next.
Today’s Newscast was presented by James Cook, BBC News Scotland editor, and made by Daniel Wittenberg. The producers were Miranda Slade and Alix Pickles. The technical producer was Russell Newlove. The series producer is Tim Walklate.
