Summary
On today’s episode of The Daily T , Camilla Tominey and Sir Jacob Rees-Mogg dissect the nation’s mood. From England’s devastating football loss to Argentina in the World Cup semi-finals (and the highly political aftermath) to a new prime minister taking office on Monday without a public vote. Is the UK in a state of terminal decline?
