‘Burnham needs to grow up!’: PM must forget Brexit and bring down benefits bill | The Daily T

In today’s episode of The Daily T, Camilla Tominey is joined by Jacob Rees-Mogg to discuss Andy Burnham’s “obsession” with Brexit. The Prime Minister has told MPs in Parliament that it is his “duty” to pursue a closer relationship with the EU and claimed in an interview that Russia interfered with the referendum in 2016. Jacob wants the PM to “grow up” and stop fixating on Brexit – and describes the tactic as an act “straight out of Trump’s [political] playbook”. Camilla and Jacob also address the reported £35bn black hole in the forthcoming Budget and the ballooning welfare bill that should be higher up on Mr Burnham’s list than Brexit. 00:00 - Introduction 03:00 - Starmer, Brexit, and Trumpian Comparisons 05:43 - Allegations of Foreign Interference in Brexit 06:56 - Realignment, EU Rejoin, and Economic Realities 08:52 - Inflation, Tax, and the Upcoming £35Bn Budget Hole 12:43 - Welfare Reform, CSJ Report & Benefits vs. Minimum Wage 16:19 - Unchecked Sickness Benefits and PIP Assessments 18:34 - Tory Welfare Proposals and Spending Cuts 19:35 - Heathrow Third Runway Debates & Infrastructure 22:25 - Reform, Conservatives, and Immigration Policy #AndyBurnham #Benefits #Budget #TheDailyT #DailyT #CamillaTominey #TimStanley #UKNews #UKPolitics #WorldNews #PoliticalPodcast #News #Publisher #Newspaper #Telegraph #TheTelegraph #World #journalism #journalist #UKpolitics #BritishPolitics #Podcast #newspodcast #latestnews
