Hello and welcome to The Rundown, a podcast from Politics Home.

I'm your host, Alan Tollust, and this week I'm taking the podcasts out of the studio and into Parliament for a very special episode.

context for this book that she's doing and how we kind of got to this point and how she got to this point and what kind of arguments she's trying to put forward.

Yeah, Liz Trussie's post power journey. It's been really interesting because her time in office

was an absolute disaster by any measure. She is remembered at the moment as one of the worst prime ministers have ever had.
