The Daily T

A stark new review has found that Britain is not ready for war, warning landing on the same morning the Government unveiled fresh plans to boost the nation’s defences.

This morning, Defence Secretary John Healey unveiled a major £1.5bn investment in 13 new UK munitions factories, a bid to ramp up Britain’s defence industry as global threats escalate. 

The announcement came as Healey revealed that a Russian intelligence-gathering ship, the Yantar, has been skirting the edge of UK waters north of Scotland, allegedly firing lasers at RAF surveillance pilots and mapping Britain’s undersea cables. “My message to Russia and to Putin is this: we see you… and we are ready,” he said.

All this lands as MI5 issues fresh warnings about Chinese espionage. Following the collapse of the case against two men accused of spying for Beijing, security officials have now named two Chinese state-linked ‘recruiters’ using LinkedIn to target Westminster insiders.

Camilla and Tim discuss the future of Britain’s defence with the former head of MI6, Sir John Sawers, as they ask him about China, the failure of the Prevent anti-terrorism scheme programme and why he thinks Russia is the greatest threat to this country.

UK is not ready for Russia threat, says ex MI6 chief

Reform UK has set out its plans to plug a £25bn hole in the economy, and the policies essentially amount to one thing: making it more expensive to be a foreigner in Britain.

But the press conference got a bit frosty when Camilla asked Nigel Farage who his pick for chancellor would be.

Meanwhile, in another central London conference centre, the Conservatives were announcing...not very much at all. But things got interesting when Kemi Badenoch called out a Guardian journalist who was in the room.

Camilla and Tim assess the credibility of the Tories’ and Reform’s economic plans and, crucially, bemoan the declining quality of press conference snacks.

Farage defends his anti-foreigner budget

Shabana Mahmood has announced a major asylum crackdown, in a clear attempt to pacify the Right of Labour and the country at large.

The Home Secretary’s plans, based on a model successfully implemented in Denmark, include a 20-year wait for refugees to apply for indefinite leave to remain, reviews of refugees status every 30 months, and legislation that will promote British law over the ECHR.

Camilla and Tim ask whether a policy that Labour MPs are calling “divisive” and “cruel”, and that Reform's Richard Tice says sounds like “an application for vetting to join Reform”, will actually end up pleasing no one.

Labour's desperate asylum crackdown

It’s the morning after the scoop before, and the end of a bad week for the BBC.

After The Daily T revealed how Newsnight also doctored Donald Trump’s January 6th speech, and were called out live on air, Tim and Camilla go inside the BBC’s own response to the saga. Hint: it suggests the corporation is as deluded as ever.

Then, it’s a scandal which is arguably more damning than phone hacking. We hear from Andy Webb, the author of an explosive new book about Martin Bashir’s Panorama interview with Princess Diana. He lays out the nefarious tactics Bashir used to get it and how the BBC covered it up for 25 years.

The BBC scandal that was worse than phone hacking

A Daily T investigation has uncovered another, earlier example of the BBC doctoring footage of Trump’s January 6th speech. Not only that, but it was called out live on air by a Newsnight contributor – and nothing was done.

This comes after the resignation of top BBC officials in the wake of a Telegraph story detailing how a 2024 Panorama documentary spliced footage of the president in a way that suggested he was encouraging violence.

Camilla and Tim speak to the former graphic designer at Newsnight who blows the whistle on the workplace culture which allowed this to happen not once, but twice.

Revealed: BBC Newsnight also doctored Trump speech

Westminster was thrown into chaos last night after Downing Street rushed to defend Sir Keir Starmer’s leadership amidst whispers of 'coup' to oust the leader. 

Starmer’s allies are pointing the finger at two of his top ministers, Health Secretary Wes Streeting and Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood, accusing them of “leadership manoeuvres”. But Streeting flat out denied he had any such plans during his media rounds, saying he was ‘a Faithful’ in reference to the BBC series The Traitors.

Camilla and Tim are joined by our Political Editor Ben Riley-Smith to ‘uncloak’ the rumours, the rivalries and the truth behind Labour’s latest psychodrama.

The Traitors-style coup to bring down Keir Starmer

President Donald Trump has gone to war with the BBC - demanding one billion dollars unless the broadcaster apologises for their Panorama investigation by Friday. 

The US president is accusing the public broadcaster of a “reckless disregard for the truth” over the selective editing of Mr Trump’s speech on the day of the Capitol Hill riot. 

Despite the BBC’s current turmoil, outgoing director general Tim Davie has told his staff to “fight for our journalism” and attacked the BBC’s “enemies”. 

In today’s Daily T, Camilla and Tim unpack why the former US president is threatening legal action and how this fits into Trump’s long history of lawsuits which he is known for using to silence journalists and critics.

Deluded Davie launches fightback

The BBC has been forced to apologise for the “error of judgement” that saw Donald Trump’s speech on Jan 6 2021 edited misleadingly – as revealed by The Telegraph – in an episode of Panorama in October 2024. Trump has also threatened legal action against the broadcaster following Sunday night’s resignations of director-general Tim Davie and chief executive of BBC News Deborah Turness.

Camilla and Tim ask what's next for the BBC, address the claims that Davie and Turness were victims of a “Right-wing coup”, and speak to former BBC director of television Danny Cohen.

BBC facing existential crisis as Trump threatens to sue

Every day, millions of us step onto trains, walk through busy town centres and trust that we’re safe. But that trust was shattered this past weekend when a man armed with a knife went on a violent rampage aboard a high-speed train bound for London.

And not long after that horror unfolded, confidence in the justice system was shaken again after two prisoners were mistakenly released from HMP Wandsworth this week, part of a wider pattern of failures that’s seen record numbers of inmates let out in error. 

In today’s episode of The Daily T, we examine what the Huntingdon train attack tells us about knife crime in the UK, why assaults on public transport are rising, and whether our justice system is doing enough to protect us.

Camilla is joined by former New Scotland Yard detective Peter Bleksley to discuss the truth about knife crime, the state of policing, the government’s crime strategy, and whether facial recognition, tougher sentences or more officers on the beat could restore public trust.

'Why are we shocked at knife crime? It's rampant': Peter Bleksley on lawless Britain'

On today's edition of The Daily T, an extended conversation with Tim Stanley and Eric Trump; son of President Donald Trump and author of a new book 'Under Siege: My Family's Fight to Save Our Nation'.

Tim talks to Eric about his upbringing, the second Trump presidency that's trying to "save America", and his belief that the Left have tried to destroy his dad at every turn.

Eric also speaks about his love of the UK, and his worry that the country is "losing the race on everything", including freedom of speech, energy costs and crime in London.
