## Resource

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? Camilla and Sir Jacob analyse the political, economic and foreign affairs issues waiting in Andy Burnham’s in-tray, before he accepts the keys to No 10 next week. Meanwhile, Sir Jacob warns that, as his Conservative Party experience shows, installing a new leader without a mandate rarely ends well. We want to hear from you!
