Crooked candidates and crypto fraudsters: what's wrong with our political parties? | The Daily T

In this episode of The Daily T, Tim Stanley and Jacob Rees-Mogg discuss the wider state of Britain’s political parties, following the fallout from the Conservative party’s controversial selection of former neo-Nazi Joshua Bonehill-Paine as a local council candidate and The Telegraph’s report on Wes Streeting accepting funds tied to disgraced crypto figure Sam Bankman-Fried. The pair ask: has over-regulation destroyed political judgment, or are today’s politicians simply worse than their predecessors?
