Description
“I don’t think the country is quite ready for a general election.” Voters “don’t like being told their taxes are going to go up”, so Burnham should keep his “head down” and not think about calling a general election, says columnist for The Sunday Times Charlotte Ivers. Charlotte Ivers was speaking to Ed Vaizey on Times Radio. Listen every Monday-Thursday, 10am-1pm.
