In Thursday’s episode of The Daily T, Camilla Tominey and Tim Stanley are joined by Reform UK’s Danny Kruger to discuss the party’s decision to report ITV to the police over its undercover sting. The MP for East Wiltshire claims that “the law has been flagrantly broken, as in this case, outrageous deception by ITV, including breaking electoral law, pretending to be canvassers”. Kruger, Reform UK’s head of policy, who is helping prepare the party for government, also claimed that the party was facing a concerted campaign against it from the press, trade unions and even the House of Lords. He called on Conservatives and their voters to back Reform as the only realistic way for the Right to win at the next general election. Amid a series of high-profile scandals and expulsions, Camilla asked Kruger whether the greatest threat to Reform’s bid for government came from within the party itself. An ITV spokesman said: “ITV stands by its journalism. The programme Undercover: A Year In Reform was produced in…

In Tuesday’s episode of The Daily T, Camilla Tominey and Tim Stanley discuss Andy Burnham’s “cringe” decision to appear on LadBible’s “Agree to Disagree” podcast, where the Prime Minister answered questions such as “Is VAR ruining football?” and “What is your favourite Oasis song?”. Camilla and Tim ask whether the Prime Minister was “fiddling while Britain burns” by focusing on “fixing little irritants” and making social media appearances rather than addressing huge issues such as youth unemployment. They are also joined by Hamish de Bretton-Gordon, a former Army colonel, to discuss the £2bn cut from front-line Army equipment.

In Friday’s episode of The Royal T, Tim Stanley and Hannah Furness are joined by India McTaggart, The Telegraph’s Royal Correspondent, to discuss the Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s visit to Nottingham. The trio examine how much the Sussexes’ appearance resembles that of a visit by working members of the Royal family, despite their status as private citizens. The also debate whether the pair are setting out a pitch to return to the fold – or are setting up a “rival court” with their portfolio of public appearances and private commercial enterprises. Tim, Hannah and India reflect on the “mixed messages” such visits, including to Nottingham, send to the Royal family and public in their campaign for privacy, as well as the poignancy of the couple’s visit to the place the Duke first introduced the Duchess to the world in 2017. ► Get more exclusive Daily T content from The Daily T+ membership!

In today’s episode of The Daily T, Camilla Tominey and Tim Stanley discuss the ITV News investigation into Reform UK, which saw councillors filmed on camera expressing racist and sexist views. They discuss whether this expose is a case of “a few bad apples” or reflects an attitude within the political party itself. Camilla and Tim react to the views expressed by the Reform councillors in the undercover film, and explore whether those views are truly reflective of parts of electorate, and the influence of mass migration on attitudes towards nationalism and race.

In today’s episode of The Daily T, Camilla Tominey and Tim Stanley discuss Andy Burnham’s “gaffe-laden” return to Prime Minister’s Questions after the party conferences. They look at how Burnham doubled-down on his claims of Russian interference in the 2016 Brexit referendum vote after Kemi Badenoch, the Conservative leader, challenged him about putting “his foot in his mouth”. They discuss how his firm stance against a deal with the Green Party over its “Zionism is racism” motion might lead to a rowback from the PM at a general election. They also dissect Burnham’s more sympathetic exchange with Nigel Farage, the Reform UK leader. Tim deems Burnham to be “hypocritical” when factoring in his earlier praise of Badenoch for calling out Reform over some of its members’ comments on national identity and race. ► Get more exclusive Daily T content from The Daily T+ membership!

In today’s episode of The Daily T, Camilla Tominey and Jacob Rees-Mogg are joined by David Davis, the former Brexit secretary. They discuss Andy Burnham’s comments over Russian interference with the vote – and the PM’s subsequent backtracking. Mr Davis accused the Prime Minister of politics that are “performative, not real”, adding that “ as a mayor, he got away with saying what he liked and nobody challenged him”. Camilla suggested that Andy Burnham could reinvigorate the Right if he pushes a campaign to rejoin the EU. Plus as the anniversary of Sir David Amess’ murder approaches this week, Camilla, Jacob and David discussed the safety of MPs and what it is like to be in the public eye and be targeted for your views. ► Get more exclusive Daily T content from The Daily T+ membership!

In today’s episode of The Daily T, Camilla Tominey is joined by Jacob Rees-Mogg to discuss Andy Burnham’s “obsession” with Brexit. The Prime Minister has told MPs in Parliament that it is his “duty” to pursue a closer relationship with the EU and claimed in an interview that Russia interfered with the referendum in 2016. Jacob wants the PM to “grow up” and stop fixating on Brexit – and describes the tactic as an act “straight out of Trump’s [political] playbook”. Camilla and Jacob also address the reported £35bn black hole in the forthcoming Budget and the ballooning welfare bill that should be higher up on Mr Burnham’s list than Brexit. Nigel Farage’s pledge to shut down the asylum system under a Reform UK government is also discussed, with Jacob agreeing that such robust action is needed to address the issue of small-boat crossings and backlog of processing asylum claimants. ► Get more exclusive Daily T content from The Daily T+ membership!

In today’s episode of The Daily T, Camilla Tominey and Tim Stanley speak to Andrew Griffith, the shadow chancellor, from the Conservative Party conference. Camilla and Tim challenge Griffith on the party’s pledges to cut welfare and scrap inheritance tax on family homes, with Tim asking how he would respond to a claim that he was “repeating Liz Truss’s mistake of promising something that country is not in a position to fiscally underwrite”. The shadow chancellor defends his party’s policies, saying they have been “forensically set out” and are not a repeat of the Truss mini-Budget. He claims that “balancing the books runs in [his] DNA” and clarifies that his aim to abolish a tax in every Budget under a Conservative government is an ambition, not a promise. Griffith also denies that the Conservatives have regained a reputation as “the nasty party”, and criticises Labour’s “hope handout” strategy when it comes to unemployment and benefits. ► Get more exclusive Daily T content from The Daily T+ membership!

Today’s episode of The Daily T reacts to Zack Polanski’s defeat in the Holborn and St Pancras by-election and whether or not this will lead to the Green Party leader being ousted. They discuss how much damage last week’s “Zionism is Racism” motion had done to the party and Mr Polanski’s absence has undermined his reputation and standing within the party. Tim considers whether despite defeat in the by-election the result cements the Green Party as the Labour alternative for Left-wing voters. They also discuss whether this result energises the Labour Party and that Polanski remaining in charge is a boost for Andy Burnham, and could lead to the Prime Minister calling an early general election. ► Get more exclusive Daily T content from The Daily T+ membership!

In today’s episode of The Daily T from the final day of the Conservative Party conference, Camilla Tominey and Tim Stanley give their reaction to party leader Kemi Badenoch’s powerful and punchy speech to delegates and supporters. Camilla believes it displayed a more human side to the Tory leader as she discussed race, identity politics, defectors of her own party to Reform UK as well as her policy announcement to scrap inheritance tax on family homes. Camilla and Tim compare Badenoch’s closing address to Prime Minister Andy Burnham’s speech at last week’s Labour party conference, and the differences in tone and policy gaps in the PM’s rousing speech. Within their analysis, Camilla and Tim also reference The Telegraph’s exclusive story on the conclusion of Reform UK’s internal investigation, clearing senior party figures of any law-breaking after an undercover investigation by Channel 4 journalists. ► Get more exclusive Daily T content from The Daily T+ membership!

Mr Tyrone identifies Robert Jenrick’s Thatcherite economic vision as the party’s driving direction, and suggests that a strategy of targeted campaigning in Conservative and Reform heartlands could recreate Boris Johnson’s 2019 election win. ► Get more exclusive Daily T content from The Daily T+ membership!

On the day that hundreds of prisoners are released early and the UK’s “one in, one out” migrant deal with France ends, The Daily T examines the state of the nation under Andy Burnham. Camilla Tominey and Tim Stanley discuss the paradox of a Prime Minister who wants more devolution while pushing for a referendum on rejoining the EU and following the rules set by Brussels. Tim suggests Mr Burnham’s push for proportional representation could be to the detriment of the Labour Party, saying it is more important to him to have a permanent coalition centre-Left establishment in Britain than it is for Labour to win majorities. Camilla and Tim also note the shift in Labour’s policy regarding Israel and Palestine marked by the absence of Ed Miliband, the Foreign Secretary, from the Labour Friends of Israel event and the lack of comment from the Prime Minister so far on the Flydubai hijacking attempt. ► Subscribe to our new Daily T YouTube channel: youtube.com/@dailytpodcast ► Get more exclusive Daily T content from…

In Wednesday’s episode of The Daily T, Camilla Tominey and Tim Stanley are joined by Liz Truss, the former prime minister. They discuss Andy Burnham’s plans for a national care service and whether the changes to the triple lock will be able to fully fund them. Ms Truss is highly critical of the Bank of England and the Office for Budget Responsibility, claiming they are not independent, adding that “the state has been captured by the progressives”. Tim asks Ms Truss whether she is embarrassed to be the example the Left gives for why not to vote for the Right, and whether she still believes she was right about her mini-Budget. Ms Truss responds: “They attack me because I’m right, they wouldn’t if I was irrelevant.” ► Subscribe to our new Daily T YouTube channel: youtube.com/@dailytpodcast ► Get more exclusive Daily T content from The Daily T+ membership!

In today’s special edition of The Royal T, as both the Duke and Duchess of Sussex are awaiting a review into their individual security status to determine whether they are entitled to receive taxpayer-funded security, Camilla Tominey and Victoria Ward speak to Paul Lewis -- a close protection expert who has run security operations for royal and high net-worth individuals for more than 20 years.

Paul reveals why the Sussexes’ full security detail could cost up to £12m in the UK, why social media has exacerbated modern security risks and why private teams without armed authority struggle to counter these threats, compared to state-level intelligence resources.
