Daisy talks about the trick she uses to fall asleep, staying in a hotel, becoming a doula, being a contestant on “The Great British Bake Off,” her new movie Chaos Walking, working with Tom Holland, doing an American accent, and responding to Ted Cruz after he attacked her Star Wars character Rey on Twitter.

Speaking of accents, Daisey's totally changes when she's talking about Cruz. She goes from RP to Estuarine London when she's excited. Funny.

can u tell where the time frame is

[@copernicofelinis]

As a non native speaker I couldn't tell any difference obviously. But since you do, may I ask you if both Daisy and Russel Brand share the same accent or if there are differences? They sound identical to my foreign ears.
