The Daily T

Yet another immigration fiasco this week: it has emerged that the migrant sex offender who was accidentally released from prison was paid £500 to be deported.

Tim is joined by Telegraph writer and broadcaster Isabel Oakeshott to discuss why successive governments have failed to stop the boats and how British people are paying the price.

Later, Tim sits down with Nadine Dorries, the former Tory MP who last month joined Reform. She explains her defection, plus why she thinks Katie Lam could be the next Conservative leader.

Isabel Oakeshott: I got so sick of the UK I had to leave

On today’s episode of The Daily T podcast, new photos have emerged showing Prince Andrew hosting Jeffrey Epstein, Harvey Weinstein and Ghislaine Maxwell at Royal Lodge - just as King Charles faces heckling during a royal visit over his brother’s links to the disgraced financier. Hosts Tim Stanley and Rachel Johnson ask: is this the end of the road for Prince Andrew? 

The Daily Telegraph’s royal editor, Hannah Furness, joins us in the studio to reveal why Prince Andrew refuses to leave Royal Lodge, why relocating him to another royal residence “changes nothing,” and how the King being shouted at by a protester signals an “existential crisis” for the monarchy.

And as Chancellor Rachel Reeves considers a possible mansion tax in the upcoming Budget, Rachel Johnson warns that taxing homeowners with properties worth over £2 million could spark “riots on a scale the Chancellor won’t have foreseen.”

Prince Andrew vs The Palace: Inside the 'Siege of Royal Lodge'

A weekend fiasco has thrown Britain’s immigration and prison system into chaos after Hadush Kebatu, an asylum seeker jailed for sexually assaulting a 14-year-old girl in Epping, was mistakenly released from Chelmsford prison. He was meant to be deported to Ethiopia but was freed in error, sparking a two-day manhunt before his recapture in North London. 

Justice Secretary David Lammy faced MPs over the blunder, unveiling new mandatory checks for every prison release, but governors warn it’s unworkable. Meanwhile, Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood has also been forced to respond as frustration grows over the Government’s handling of immigration and the spiralling cost of migrant hotels.

Tim is joined by Assistant Comment Editor Poppy Coburn to discuss Labour's latest headache, the collapse of Labour’s grooming gangs inquiry, and they're also joined by Reform UK’s head of policy, Zia Yusuf, for his take on both the prison fiasco and the controversy surrounding his own party MP Sarah Pochin, after she said adverts “full of black and Asian people” drive her mad.

Zia Yusuf on migrant hotel blunder: 'The British state’s descent into a Monty Python sketch is complete'

When 19-year-old Jay Slater went missing and was later found dead in Tenerife, his family never expected the online frenzy that would compound their nightmare.

Social media ‘sleuths’ spread conspiracy theories that Jay was murdered over a drug debt, or that his disappearance was a scam to raise money. Trolls even set up accounts pretending to be Jay and accused his mum, Debbie Duncan, of faking her tears.

Now Debbie is calling for a change in the law to protect grieving families like hers from harmful misinformation. She sits down with Camilla to explain the impact of online trolling, her campaign for Jay’s Law, and how she wants her beloved son to be remembered.

Jay Slater’s mum: How online trolls made my life hell

Even the most innumerate among us has heard of the Laffer curve, a theory popularised by US economist and presidential advisor Arthur Laffer. It spells it out how, beyond a particular threshold, increasing taxes actually brings down revenue.

Camilla and Tim are joined by the legendary economist – who has worked with Presidents Trump and Reagan and was a friend of Margaret Thatcher – to discuss the upcoming Budget, Trump's tariffs, and whether Nigel Farage has a coherent economic plan.

Laffer also weighs in on Liz Truss, who he says was "thinking in the right direction" with her mini-Budget, and explains why a wealth tax would be a "huge mistake".

Reeves needs a lesson on tax – legendary economist Arthur Laffer

With Labour’s chaotic grooming gangs inquiry continuing to fall apart, Kemi Badenoch used Prime Minister’s Questions to tell Keir Starmer the victims were “right to call it a cover-up”.

Camilla and Tim discuss who might become the next chairman of the inquiry and accusations that Labour wants to “water down” the investigation.

Elsewhere, Camilla speaks to Jay Darkmoore, who resigned from the police last year after nearly a decade in the force, and now claims that the “rotten” organisation “breaks the law to chase stats” and “punishes officers who don’t tow the line”.

Starmer accused of rape gang cover up

On today's edition of The Daily T, Camila is joined in the studio by journalist and broadcaster Piers Morgan, to talk about his new book 'Woke is Dead'.

Piers talks about how his friend Donald Trump's re-election brought an end to the "insane woke ideology", how Nigel Farage nearly torpedoed his interview with the President, why Sadiq Khan needs to "grow up" and Harry and Meghan's "increasing irrelevance".

He also talks about the killing of Charlie Kirk, a man he'd interviewed on numerous occasions, and the "disgraceful" reaction from many on the left, including the at-the-time incoming president of the Oxford Union.

Piers Morgan: 'Harry and Meghan represent the worst of the woke'

Following the news that Prince Andrew is to give up his titles and honours, after more damaging headlines about the extent of his friendship with Jeffrey Epstein and the publication of Virginia Giuffre’s posthumous memoir, Andrew Lownie, the Prince’s biographer, joins Camilla and Tim in the studio on today’s Daily T.

Lownie tells Camilla and Tim that he believes Prince William drove the move to Andrew relinquish his titles, in an attempt at damage control ahead of more potentially embarrassing revelations. He claims that it’s “too little, too late” and that he should have been stripped of his titles by parliamentary act if necessary, as “nothing much has actually changed”.

He also explains how the Prince’s links to the Chinese spy scandal may have played a role in the decision, claiming his behaviour over the years can be explained by a childhood in which he was “shown no boundaries and no discipline”.

Prince Andrew’s biographer: Disgraced Duke of York should face trial

This week marks 100 years since the birth of Margaret Thatcher – one of the most influential figures in modern British politics. 

In this exclusive interview for The Daily T podcast, Camilla and Tim sit down with her daughter, Carol Thatcher, to explore what it was like growing up with Britain’s first female prime minister.

Carol offers a rare, personal insight into life inside Number 10 Downing Street, sharing intimate stories of her mother’s work ethic, her approach to power and the personal side of a political icon.

She reflects on how Thatcher’s leadership continues to inspire female politicians, the fallout after the Tories ousted her, and why her mother still holds a near-mythical status within the Conservative Party.

Carol Thatcher: The Tories stabbed my mother in the back and it stayed with her

Rachel Reeves has admitted that next month’s Autumn Budget will see Labour raise taxes on the wealthy.

As she was heading to Washington for meetings with the IMF, The Chancellor told Sky News she was “looking at tax and spending” ahead of the November 26th fiscal event, and then went on to tell The Guardian that taxes on the wealthy “will be part of the story”.

On today’s Daily T podcast, Camilla Tominey and Tim Stanley are joined by Sunday Telegraph editor Allister Heath, who calls Reeves’s plans “delusional”, that her blaming Brexit for economic stagnation proves Labour “doesn’t understand Britain” and says that “the moment you start saying to wealthy people ‘we’re going to confiscate your money’, it’s the beginning of the end”.

Labour’s tax lies exposed

It was an appalling image: the coffins of four Israeli hostages, two of them young children, presented on stage in front of a crowd before being returned to their families.

Then in a cruel twist, it emerged that one of the bodies was not that of Shiri Bibas as Hamas had claimed, nor of any of the hostages taken on October 7th.

Could these latest appalling developments derail an already shaky ceasefire in Gaza?

Kamal and Gordon put that question to the Telegraph’s Jerusalem correspondent Henry Bodkin, and ask about the mood in Israel and the potential role of Arab nations in redeveloping Gaza.
