## Resource

Just how much goodwill will the new Prime Minister, Andy Burnham, be able to keep, and for how long? Some argue that if he wants to deviate from the Labour manifesto, a general election is a must, although it may not produce the strong majority enjoyed by his predecessor. Removing VAT from energy bills seems like a good idea in theory, but how much will it really benefit bill payers? The roles in the political theatre that is the Cabinet have been published, with some surprises. Jeremy Kyle is joined today to discuss the new face of British politics by: Political commentator, Benedict Spence, Labour MP, Sam Rushworth, chief political writer at Spiked Online, Brendan O'Neill, shadow secretary of state for defence, James Cartlidge, Reform UK MP and chairman, Lee Anderson, and political editor at The Sun, Jack Elsom.  Hosted on Acast.
