Dela

On today’s episode of The Daily T, Camilla Tominey and Sir Jacob Rees-Mogg dissect the nation’s mood.

Camilla and Sir Jacob analyse the political, economic and foreign affairs issues waiting in Andy Burnham’s in-tray, before he accepts the keys to No 10 next week. Meanwhile, Sir Jacob warns that, as his Conservative Party experience shows, installing a new leader without a mandate rarely ends well.
