    Same faces, same failures: Burnham’s reshuffle solves nothing

    On Tuesday’s episode of The Daily T, Camilla and Tim dissect Andy Burnham’s new Cabinet. Dubbing it a “desperate game of musical chairs”, they break down a reshuffled front bench which looks oddly familiar to the last one. They analyse the significance of John Healey’s appointment as Chancellor, the return of Angela Rayner and the reaction to Wes Streeting’s appointment as Defence Secretary. Elsewhere, Camilla and Tim have an impromptu discussion with comedy legend Griff Rhys Jones about Burnham’s Cabinet reset, the current political climate and Network Rail’s planned redevelopment of Liverpool Street Station in London – to which Jones strongly objects.

    A PM with no substance: Andy Burnham is the ‘messiah without a mandate’

    On Monday’s episode of The Daily T, Camilla and Tim are in Downing Street to react to Andy Burnham’s inaugural speech as Prime Minister, as Sir Keir Starmer’s departs from No.10 and hands the keys over to his successor. As Starmer bids an emotional goodbye after two years at the helm of government, Burnham addresses the nation (sans-lectern) as the UK’s fifth prime minister in four years as he pledges a “circuit breaker” for Britain. Camilla and Tim also discuss the new PM’s vision to “bring forward the biggest changes in the last 40 years”, including making ending rough sleeping his first priority when he walks through the doors.

    Vacuous and vague: Inside Andy Burnham’s speech of empty promises

    On today’s Daily T, Camilla Tominey and Sir Jacob Rees-Mogg dissect Andy Burnham’s Labour leadership victory speech, as the incoming Prime Minister sets out his vision for Britain ahead of accepting the keys to No10 Downing Street on Monday. Camilla & Sir Jacob discuss the PM’s five promises for Britain, the socialist nature of his speech and question who Burnham he is as he seems to stoke a divisive north-south narrative in his first public address as Labour leader.  They also weigh in on his bizarre social media Q&A in which Burnham reveals his controversial tea-making habits, and ask whether 'Burnhamism' is nothing more than ‘high vibes’ and ‘low detail’.

    ‘A desperately sentimental last PMQs’: Why Starmer won’t make the history books

    On today’s episode of The Daily T, Camilla Tominey and Jacob Rees-Mogg look back at outgoing PM Sir Keir Starmer’s time in office, and discuss whether his impact as a Prime Minister warrants a place in the history books.
