Speaking on the podcast Mr Myers said: “They’ve got to be careful here, sitting in an ivory tower, sounding off about things that are just coming into your head without people to advise you ‒ I don’t really know who their advisers are at the moment.
“It’s not coming across well and they are fast becoming a bit irrelevant, especially when you’re seeing the Cambridges and Prince Charles speaking about massive global issues like this.
“They’re going to be left behind a little bit.”

‘But anyway, it’s a work in progress for them.”
