About this episode
In today’s special Daily T: On The Road, Camilla Tominey and Tim Stanley speak to Jacob Rees-Mogg about day two of the Conservative Party conference in Birmingham. Speaking to Camilla and Tim in front of a live audience, Mr Rees-Mogg reacts to his viral interview with Tucker Carlson and argues the Prime Minister has brought Margaret Thatcher back into relevance by mentioning her in his speeches.
He criticises Burnham for “taking the reins of power” and about-turning on his promises on Europe to the people of Makerfield, and accuses the PM of grasping power and moving “far Left” of Labour’s 2024 manifesto. Camilla, Tim and Jacob also discuss: their definitions of Englishness in light of Suella Braverman’s comments on her national identity, the Green Party’s motion defining Zionism as racism, and how Britain benefits from supporting Israel.
