The right is shape shifting again - from Johnson to now Liz Truss. What a Truss premiership means is unclear - will she stick to desiccated Thatcherism or pivot to a new hybrid Toryism?

We are joined live with Professor Ken Spours who through his work on the Osbourne Supremacy and shapeshifters had helped us place a Gramscian lens over the adaptation and contortions of modern Toryism. Also joining us is Gaby Hinsliff, the flabulous Guardian political columnist who writes astutely about centre-left politics.
