In this week’s CER podcast, Isabel Hardman, assistant editor of The Spectator, joins our director, Charles Grant. They consider the UK Conservative party leadership contest, where party members have to choose between Rishi Sunak, the former chancellor, and Liz Truss, the foreign secretary. Charles and Isabel consider how each candidate’s government experience has shaped their stances on key issues, and examine what the outcome of the election could mean for Britain’s relationship with the EU and its place in the world.
