Same faces, same failures: Burnham’s reshuffle solves nothing
About this episode
Camilla and Tim discuss Andy Burnham's cabinet reshuffle and its implications, featuring a guest appearance by Griff Rhys Jones.
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.
