‘A legacy of surrender’: How Andy Burnham’s first week could break Britain | The Daily T

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

From England’s devastating football loss to Argentina in the World Cup semi-finals (and the highly political aftermath) to a new prime minister taking office on Monday without a public vote. Is the UK in a state of terminal decline?

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.
