Description
On Tuesday’s episode of The Daily T, Camilla and Tim dissect new prime minister Andy Burnham’s newly-announced cabinet. Described as a ‘desperate game of musical chairs’, they break down the reshuffle and highlight how the same familiar faces have simply been shifted into different seats.
They analyse the significance of John Healey’s appointment as Chancellor, the return of Angela Rayner to the front bench ranks and the reaction to Wes Streeting as Burnham’s hire for the role of 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 construction plans over Liverpool Street Station in London -- which Jones strongly objects.
