Rees-Mogg criticizes Burnham Manchester speech on devolution and Westminster

Jun 30, 2026

The segment features Jacob Rees-Mogg critiquing Andy Burnham's June 29, 2026 Manchester speech. Rees-Mogg calls the address clichéd and uninspiring, focused on Westminster failure and devolution as the solution. He highlights Burnham's refusal to take questions from journalists, including Daily Mail's Quentin Letts, and argues devolution ignores England by creating artificial regions rather than empowering historic counties or nations equally. Rees-Mogg draws on Gladstone-era home rule history, notes Yorkshire's population similarity to Scotland, and favors local councils over new regional bodies. The piece relies on Rees-Mogg's commentary with no additional guests or on-screen graphics referenced in the transcript.
