Can the new prime minister cut taxes and spend big to curb soaring energy bills and get people through the cost of living crisis this winter? Conservative MP and chair of the treasury select committee Mel Stride and leading economist Paul Johnson from the Institute of Fiscal Studies join PoliticsHome's Alain Tolhurst to discuss how Liz Truss might seek to square this seemingly impossible circle as Chancellor Kwasi Kwarteng prepares to lay out his first big spending plans.
