Fresh from a drive-by heckle during her visit to Leeds this week, Chancellor Rachel Reeves has set out a new package of “summer savings” to help families with the cost of food and travel, as Britons face rising prices caused by the conflict in Iran. But do these measures go far enough to make an impact?

On Thursday’s episode of The Daily T, Camilla Tominey and Tim Stanley speak to Rosie Duffield, former Labour member and MP for Canterbury, who says Sir Keir Starmer’s downfall does not come as a surprise, and explains why she will withhold her full support for Andy Burnham until he clarifies his stance on single-sex spaces and trans rights.

Meanwhile, Camilla and Tim react to the release of a new batch of documents relating to Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor’s appointment as trade envoy in 2001, as it is revealed the former prince preferred to visit “sophisticated countries” during his time in the role.
