Burnham’s Budget gamble: Why the PM could trigger a snap election next week
In today’s bonus episode of The Daily T, Tim Stanley and Jacob Rees-Mogg analyse the prospect of an early general election as rumours of the major parties preparing to campaign swirl in Westminster.
The pair analyse the likelihood of Andy Burnham triggering a snap vote following this week’s Budget, and how big of a gamble it would be for the Prime Minister to go to the polls before Christmas.
Tim and Jacob also discuss Mr Burnham’s “ideological Europhilia” as the PM seemingly opens the door to EU freedom of movement as he considers options for a new relationship with Brussels.
