In Wednesday’s bonus episode of The Daily T, Camilla Tominey and Tim Stanley dissect Deputy PMQs, where Louise Haigh stood in for Andy Burnham at the Dispatch Box for the first time.
They analyse the argument that erupted over the national welfare bill, and the number of times Alex Burghart, deputy leader of the Conservative Party, questioned the Government’s efforts to bring down the expenditure on benefits. Camilla and Tim also discuss Haigh’s role in Labour’s latest row over who counts as a “working person”, after Emma Reynolds, the Chief Secretary to the Treasury, told GB News that employers “are not working people”.
