Andy Burnham's 'Messiah' Complex could spell disaster for Labour | The Daily T

In today’s episode of The Daily T, Camilla Tominey and Tim Stanley speak to Katherine Birbalsingh – dubbed Britain’s strictest headteacher for her work at Michaela Community School in north-west London – about the row that has broken out between Bridget Phillipson and Kemi Badenoch following the Conservative leader’s fiery attack on the Education Secretary. Ms Birbalsingh agrees with Ms Badenoch that Ms Phillipson is a “class warrior” and believes that while her intentions come from a “good place”, her policies will actually have a negative effect and harm poor school pupils. Elsewhere, Camilla and Allister Heath discuss the latest developments over the Labour leadership and why Andy Burnham, the lead contender to replace Sir Keir Starmer, might betray Brexit if he wins the keys to No 10.
