In early September, in just 48 hours, the United Kingdom got a new prime minister (Liz Truss) and a new king (Charles III, following the death of Queen Elizabeth II).

Ian Bremmer Interviews Tony Blair
On GZERO World, Ian Bremmer speaks to former British PM Tony Blair (1997-2007), who believes there will be a lot of uncertainty over the next year or two if Truss insists on big tax cuts and big borrowing.
Blair also looks back at the queen’s legacy and the future of the monarchy, explains why Brexit will hurt but probably not fragment the UK, and defends why we need to return to his comfort zone of the political center to fix today’s problems.
