In this week’s London Calling the talking points are PayPal’s recent difficulties, John Cleese’s new show on GB News, Michael Gove’s alleged sadism, Boris's resignation honours list and the threat of nuclear war.

King Charles has reluctantly agreed not to bang the drum for ‘sustainability’ and ‘net zero’ at Cop27, after Liz Truss advised him to stay away from the climate summit. Sounds like she’s done him a massive favour.

Liz Truss has appointed to conduct a 'review' of Net Zero policy she promised during the leadership campaign one of the people, Chris Skidmore, who created the current policy, indicating no plans for change.

Liz Truss claims to be a free marketeer. But a new report by the Bruegel thinktank shows that Britain has spent more on the energy bailout than every EU country – both in absolute terms and as a percentage of GDP.

Liz Truss is to lift a ban on fracking, with the first drilling licences in nearly three years expected to be issued as early as next week. But unless the energy is prioritised for the UK it won't touch prices.

Liz Truss may have foresworn future lockdowns, but at the time she publicly supported the restrictions and voted in favour of vaccine mandates and vaccine passports. Sceptic she was not.
