In today’s edition of The Daily T, Camilla Tominey and Jacob Rees-Mogg discuss the warning to the Prime Minister from Andy Haldane, a former Bank of England economist, not to raise taxes in his attempt to find an extra £10bn to fund next month’s Budget.

Jacob explains why he believes the triple lock is effectively dead, and why Andy Burnham should be taking notes from Sir Keir Starmer on how to handle Donald Trump before his first meeting with the US president next week.

Plus Jacob addresses whether he is middle-class or not.
