Are the Conservatives in a better place after their conference?
About this episode
Our politics editor Beth Rigby and producer Mollie Malone explore the big political stories of the week including government U-turns and Liz Truss's speech to her party conference.
Plus, Beth speaks to businessman and former-Conservative party donor Gareth Quarry. He recently defected to Labour, saying leader Keir Starmer and his team "were sensible people who have got their feet on the ground" while Liz Truss and her chancellor Kwasi Kwarteng were practicing "GCSE economics".
