Summary
Manchester United co-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe has been forced to apologise for describing the UK as “colonised by immigrants,” after Sir Keir Starmer described his words as “offensive and wrong”.
Camilla is joined by Jacob Rees Mogg, who says Ratcliffe is merely highlighting “a lack of integration” and that the PM is “in no place to moralise at the moment” after a series of scandals.
Elsewhere, the podcast speaks to students who are leaving university with an average of £53,000 worth of debt, a burden that Sir Jacob blames on the Government’s “interest rate racket”.

| 0:02.0 | Jim Ratcliffe has apologised for what the Prime Minister described as offensive comments about immigrants. |
| 0:16.0 | But who is the Prime Minister to ask anybody to apologise for anything? |
| 0:20.0 | And with university students racking up on average 50 grand's worth of debt, |
| 0:25.1 | we're going to expose this government interest rate scandal. |
| 0:28.8 | It's an interest rate racket, |
| 0:30.5 | and people should any go to university if it's worth their while financially. |
| 0:34.4 | Welcome to The Daily Tea with me, Camilla Tomini. |
| 0:37.0 | And me, Jacob Rees-Mogg. |
| 0:48.3 | Jacob, before we get into the serious matter of whether Sir Jim Ratcliffe should apologise to the Prime Minister for offending |
| 0:55.2 | him about comments about immigration. Wuthering Heights? Wuthering Heights? Would you go and see it? |
| 1:01.8 | Almost certainly not. Why? It's not a James Bond film. Does one go to the cinema for any other film? |
| 1:07.5 | What about you? Have you been? Are you going? Are you going to review it? I'm quite interested in the unique talents of the leading man, Jacob Allaudy, who's quite, you know, what's the word, easy on the eye. Okay. If you say, say it. But there's some criticisms that it's been sexed up. Right. Have you read it? I haven't actually. No. Oh. So you're not familiar with some of the saucy scenes? No, I'm not, no. Also, they seem to have given it what's been described in the office as a BDSM field. Do you know what I mean when I said? I know the BSM because I learned to drive with them many years ago. I don't know if they still exist. The British School of Motoring. |
| 1:45.2 | No, that's not... |
| 1:46.2 | And they had an office in Baker Street. And I used to go out there. Yeah. And I would then go and drive around nearby places with L plates on. That's not the acronym that applies here. Is that not the one that applies here? But maybe we just draw a line at that fort. All right. It's probably best that you're not familiar with BDSM at this stage. |
| 2:01.9 | Let's motor on them. |
| 2:03.3 | Excellent, yes. |
| 2:04.2 | Into a conversation about... just draw a line at that thought. It's probably best that you're not familiar with BDSM at this stage. |
| 2:01.9 | Let's motor on there. Excellent, yes. Into a conversation about Sir Jim Ratcliffe. So, billionaire founder |
| 2:08.3 | of Ineos, we should say that it's disappointing he's no longer in the country paying tax here. |
| 2:14.5 | No, it's not. Our tax rate's too high. Of course he's gone. I mean, nobody in their right |
