Will the Archbishop of Canterbury have to resign?
Listen now
Description
Justin Welby is facing growing calls to resign after a report found the Church of England covered up “abhorrent” abuse. The review said Archbishop Welby “could and should” have reported the case to authorities when details of the abuse of more than 100 boys and young men at the hands of serial predator John Smyth were presented to him in 2013. Archbishop Welby admitted he had “personally failed to ensure” it was investigated, but that he had “no idea or suspicion of this abuse” before 2013. Kamal and Gordon Rayner are joined by The Telegraph’s Religious and Social Affairs Editor Janet Eastham to talk through what Welby did and didn’t know and whether his position is tenable. Plus, as farmers prepare for a mass rally in London against the rise in inheritance tax, Kamal and Gordon speak to one of the organisers who says that Labour have “picked a fight with the wrong people”.
