Vacuous and vague: Inside Andy Burnham’s speech of empty promises

On today’s Daily T, Camilla Tominey and Sir Jacob Rees-Mogg dissect Andy Burnham’s Labour leadership victory speech, as the incoming Prime Minister sets out his vision for Britain ahead of accepting the keys to No10 Downing Street on Monday.

Camilla & Sir Jacob discuss the PM’s five promises for Britain, the socialist nature of his speech and question who Burnham he is as he seems to stoke a divisive north-south narrative in his first public address as Labour leader. 

They also weigh in on his bizarre social media Q&A in which Burnham reveals his controversial tea-making habits, and ask whether 'Burnhamism' is nothing more than ‘high vibes’ and ‘low detail’.
