Summary
Keir Starmer faced a fired-up Kemi Badenoch at the final Prime Minister’s Questions before the local elections this lunchtime, with the PM refusing to explicitly rule out sacking his Chancellor, Rachel Reeves.
Camilla Tominey and Tim Stanley are live at Warwick University with special guest Sir Jacob Rees-Mogg as part of the Daily T: On the Road, who says he has heard Andy Burnham is ready for a leadership challenge immediately after May 7.
They also discuss the creeping rise of sectarian and political violence, with an antisemitic attack in Golders Green, North London, and Nigel Farage admitting to this newspaper that his home had been “firebombed”.

| 0:09.0 | Tim, we're on the next stop of our UK tour. |
| 0:12.0 | We're at a university. We're in Warwick. We're on campus. |
| 0:16.0 | And we are here at the invitation of the PPE Society, thank you very much, with Jacob Rees-Mogg. |
| 0:22.0 | Today we're going to be discussing political violence in the United Kingdom, free speech on campus. |

| 1:45.4 | Jacob packed out the auditorium, was extremely friendly and charming with myself, the organisers and |
