The IfG Review of 2022 – The year of living dangerously

Politico's Jack Blanchard joins us to look back at a year which raised the bar for political chaos and confusion.

We review a year of chaos, with its three prime ministers, four chancellors, scores of resignations and wild rides for the pound and inflation. Who was the best and worst prime minister? Who emerges from 2022 with reputations shredded or enhanced? And who among our panel will mount a spirited defence of Liz Truss?

Politico's Jack Blanchard joins Hannah White, Jill Rutter and Giles Wilkes to look back at a year which raised the bar for political chaos and confusion.
