Define a woman! Burnham blasted by ally over trans stance

Former Met Police Detective Peter Bleksley joins Camilla Tominey and Tim Stanley to discuss if parents should be held criminally responsible for their children’s crimes.Following the announcement of government plans to revamp parenting orders, Peter argues that more discipline is needed in modern parenting and that longer jail terms work as a deterrent for repeat offenders.The Justice Secretary David Lammy revealed the plans to give courts extra powers to punish breaches of parenting order last week as part of efforts to prevent a repeat of the Southport murders, where the parents of triple killer Axel Rudakubana were castigated for failing to act on his erratic and violent behaviour.Producer: Emma WilliamsSocial Media Producer: Conor ClarkExecutive Producer: Charlotte SeligmanVideo Producer: Will WaltersStudio Operator: Meghan SearleEditor: Camilla TomineyHighlightsPeter Bleksley discusses rise of London teen shoplifting 'link-ups'David Lammy proposes courts get extra powers to jail parents for parenting order breaches.

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 and Tim criticise the Manchester mayor for attacking Thatcher rather than laying out policies of his own.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.We want to hear from you!

Despite the Makerfield by-election not even having been officially announced, and despite the fact Andy Burnham is not yet officially standing, the campaign has begun and Labour figures are already kicking lumps out of each other.In a soft launch of his own leadership campaign,Wes Streeting, the former health secretary, announced he wanted Britain to rejoin the EU. Mr Burnham, the Mayor of Greater Manchester, has now backtracked on his support for the idea two days after saying that “one day” Britain should indeed be a part of the bloc again. Sir Keir Starmer, meanwhile, is pretending nothing is happening.Camilla Tominey and Tim Stanley speak to Matt Goodwin, Reform’s candidate for the Gorton and Denton by-election, who says this is an absolute gift for his party.
