Burnham’s cringey Gen Z love-in as youth unemployment soars | The Daily T podcast
In Tuesday’s episode of The Daily T, Camilla Tominey and Tim Stanley discuss Andy Burnham’s “cringe” decision to appear on LadBible’s “Agree to Disagree” podcast, where the Prime Minister answered questions such as “Is VAR ruining football?” and “What is your favourite Oasis song?”.
The presenters questioned whether the Prime Minister was “fiddling while Britain burns” by focusing on “fixing little irritants” and social media appearances rather than addressing huge issues such as youth unemployment.
