Only if you let me plug my book

The first 3 episodes of this series were brilliant. I’d summarise the last 2 as: I’m only coming on to tell you that it was everyone else’s fault and not mine if you let me tediously plug my book.

Shabby attempt to rehabilitate Truss

Having listened to the mini-series on "Who killed Liz Truss", I was compelled to give this series a review. Preston's partisan take seems to absolve Kwarteng and Truss of any responsibility for their catastrophic attempt to launch a series of unfunded tax cuts.

Peston proceeded to treat Truss and Kwarteng with kid gloves and didn't investigate the failures of judgement and lapses of professional responsibility that led to this country forcing a bail out and spending tens of billions to save us from Truss' incompetence.

Very low quality analysis and extremely politically partisan.

Offensive. Lost all credibility.

Titling a mini series to play THE individual in charge - who designed the ‘mini budget’ that led to so much financial hardship across the country, as victim is offensive. This is not a balanced analysis. There podcast has lost all credibility.
