Andy Burnham launched his by-election campaign video last night, and used it to attack the legacy of Margaret Thatcher and the deindustrialisation of areas like Makerfield, whilst promising to reverse the “draining away of economic, social and political power” that happened during her tenure and in the years since. On today’s Daily T podcast, Camilla Tominey and Tim Stanley criticise the Manchester mayor for attacking Thatcher rather than laying out policies of his own, whilst also conveniently forgetting that his own journey to Cambridge University and beyond in the 1980s is largely owed to the Iron Lady’s commitment to social mobility. Elsewhere, Camilla and Tim also speak to Labour grandee Baron Foulkes - a minister in Tony Blair’s government - who says Keir Stamer has been a victim of the right-wing press and is doing the right thing by maintaining that he’s going nowhere. ► Subscribe to The Telegraph: https://www.telegraph.co.uk/customer/subscription/store/?WT.mc_id=tmgoff_you
