The sad news of the Queen's death cut right across the House of Commons debate on Energy, and wholly understandably eclipsed reporting on this important subject. The Government's strategy is based on a set of significantly new principles, particularly on energy supply, and we therefore thought it appropriate to bring you Liz Truss's opening speech, complete with points of order, setting out the way forward.

Lost memories? Important things to recall? At this time as we look back over the past 70 years, this episode may help you retrieve these things. However there is no guarantee: your ability to recall will depend how well that memory was transferred from the short-term to the long-term at the time, and that will depend on your level of concentration and focus. Let Adam Cox help you to explore the windmills of your mind.

“I said to the man who stood at the Gate of the Year, ‘Give me a light that I may tread safely into the unknown.’ And he replied, 'Go out into the darkness , and put your hand into the hand of God. That shall be to you better than light, and safer than a known way.'” - indeed, the guiding light for the servant leadership that she gave us throughout these past seventy years. Our Thought for this Week comprises the tributes given in the House of Commons on Friday 9 September, beginning with the Speaker, Sir Lindsay Hoyle, and followed by - (4:46) Rt Hon Elizabeth Truss MP, The Prime Minister (11:17) Rt Hon Keir Starmer MP (20:06) Sir Peter Bottomley MP (20:36) Rt Hon Ian Blackford MP (27:57) Rt Hon Boris Johnson MP (36:31) Rt Hon Harriet Harman KC MP (41:53) Rt Hon Theresa May MP (50:05) Rt Hon Ed Davey MP Background Music: 'New Year's Anthem' by Quincas Moreira

As Liz Truss takes the hot seat in British politics, we explain why political leaders must embrace disintermediation and servant leadership as the way forward to a better world. Arrogance is so often the Achilles heel of leaders, and genuine humility is hard to detect. So, as the new Prime Minister takes the reins in 10 Downing St, we call for a proper understanding of servant leadership and explain why disintermediation is critical to effective delivery, the ability for all to share both wealth and opportunity, and a legacy of continuing progress for the future.

Belts are already being tightened but as bills head even higher more people will look to save where they can. But are there some things that you should avoid doing or cutting back on at all costs? Campaigns to get people not to pay their bills have obvious flaws, but what about only paying for the energy you use, diverting your pension saving elsewhere or cutting back on ditching saving or investing. Some are at breaking point and will have little choice but to do some of these things, but what about those who are still heading off on holidays, going ou for dinner and drinks, or getting takeways in - should they hammer down on discretionary spending before stopping saving? In his This Is Money column last week, Simon Lambert came up with his five false economies to avoid, but was he right to pick them? Simon, Georgie Frost and Lee Boyce discuss them in this episode. Also, are buy-to-let landlords all bad or a crucial part of the property market, will an electric car still save you money after the energy price cap hike, and how high will savings rates go — as the best buys come in thick and fast.

Google’s acquisition of YouTube is now remembered as one of the most successful tech acquisitions ever, but that result was far from obvious in 2006. Bloomberg reporter Mark Bergen is the author of the upcoming book “Like, Comment, Subscribe. Inside YouTube’s Chaotic Rise to World Domination.” Dylan Lewis caught up with Bergen to talk about YouTube’s “Forrest Gump-like” tendency to be a part of world-changing events, the platform’s complicated relationship with its creator base, one missed opportunity around kids and education, and the acquisition of YouTube, and its early days at Google. Stocks mentioned: GOOG, GOOGL, META. Host - Dylan Lewis; Guest - Mark Bergen

Following the result of the leadership ballot, there'll be much need for public speaking. Politicians often appear to brim with confidence, but anyone who's stood in front of a microphone knows that it doesn't come easily. The higher the stakes, the more anxiety rises - and yet so often the only way of losing is by not participating. Adam Cox introduces that different perspective into this episode in order to help build more confidence for those in the spotlight.
