The Daily T

The state is out of control - and Starmer is unlikely to fix it


Listen Later

The Prime Minister has pledged to tackle Britain’s “overcautious, flabby state”, admitting that record taxation and spending in recent years have not led to improvement in our front-line services. 


The first to go in his shake-up is NHS England, which will be abolished to “cut bureaucracy” and bring management of the health service back under the Government. But do the plans really go far enough? 


Kamal and Camilla are joined by The Telegraph’s resident waste watcher Dia Chakravarty to find out exactly how the government is squandering your hard-earned taxes. 


And after the family of murdered MP David Amess were denied an inquiry into his death earlier this week, we spoke to his daughter Katie and the family representative Radd Seiger outside Downing Street after a meeting with Sir Keir Starmer and Home Secretary Yvette Cooper, in which some tentative progress was made.
