Answering questions in the House of Commons on Wednesday for the first time as prime minister, Liz Truss displayed the characteristics that helped her win power: devotion to her free market, small state ideology, and a willingness to deviate from those ideas when expedient.

To talk about the new prime minister’s politics, the challenges she faces and what she has signalled about her approach to Northern Ireland, Hugh Linehan is joined by political editor Pat Leahy and London editor Denis Staunton on the latest episode of the Inside Politics podcast.
