Following the deadly attack on a synagogue in Manchester, the Home Secretary has called for pro-Palestinian protests to be cancelled this weekend and condemned those that went ahead on Thursday.

Camilla and Tim speak to the chief executive of the Campaign Against Antisemitism, Gideon Falter, who says he doesn’t know “if there’s a place for Jews any more” in the UK and that “this country is failing its Jewish community” with the Government to blame for “pouring fuel on the fire”.

How Britain became a breeding ground for Jew hate

Sir David Davis, the former Brexit secretary, has called on Shabana Mahmood, the Home Secretary, to provide the full reasoning behind the decision to cut funding for Nigel Farage’s security detail.

Despite being a political rival of Mr Farage, the veteran Tory MP tells Camilla Tominey and Tim Stanley on today’s Daily T that the Government’s “premeditated” labelling of the Reform leader as racist at Labour’s party conference may “heighten the risk” he faces and that his role as a high-profile politician means he deserves “serious protection”.

Elsewhere, Camilla and Tim also look ahead to the Conservative Party conference, which gets under way this weekend, and ask the question – should Kemi Badenoch mention Nigel Farage or not?

Farage must be better protected, argues Tory rival

The Deputy Prime Minister David Lammy has been forced to backtrack on claims at Labour conference he on Monday, having accused Nigel Farage of “once flirting with Hitler Youth when he was younger”. 

Camilla and Tim speak to the Reform leader’s biographer Michael Crick, who tells them he “came to the conclusion that Farage isn’t a racist” and that Lammy was “reckless” in saying so.

Elsewhere, Camilla and Tim are also joined by two Jewish politicians from either side of the political divide - former Labour MP Luciana Berger and Conservative peer Lord Polak - to reflect on Donald Trump’s Gaza peace plan proposals.

Farage biographer Michael Crick: ‘Nigel is not a racist. Hitler Youth claims are absurd’

Sir Keir Starmer takes centre stage at the Labour conference as his leadership faces pressure from Andy Burnham’s party coup and the growing threat of Nigel Farage’s Reform. During his speech, the Prime Minister admitted that Labour had “patronised” working people on immigration, promising to ‘build a Britain for all’ as minister waved flags in the audience.

Camilla and Tim react to ‘slippery’ Starmer’s performance after he announced plans to scrap Blair’s target of getting 50% young people in university, a major overhaul of the NHS and made claims that Nigel Farage “doesn’t like Britain”, calling the Reform leader a “snake oil merchant”.

Camilla also caught up with Secretary of State for Health and Social Care Wes Streeting after he called for the return of his friend and colleague Angela Rayner during his speech.

And Tim Stanley speaks to Labour donor energy boss Dale Vince about his first impressions of the conference, the future of his friend Corbyn’s Your Party, Gaza and the rise of Reform.

Farage hits back at Starmer’s 'disgraceful' flag-waving diatribe

Chancellor Rachel Reeves has used her Labour conference speech in Liverpool to prepare the ground for Budget tax rises, despite the Government’s election pledge not to ‘increase taxes on working people’.

Although she said she won’t take risks with the public finances, Reeves warned of “harder choices” to come, meaning working families could soon be paying the price for Labour’s big-spending promises.

Reeves also took the chance to take a swipe at Andy Burnham, saying his economic plans were ‘dangerously wrong’.

Camilla and Tim bring you inside the conference hall with the reaction to the Chancellor’s ‘hopelessly out of touch’ speech.

Plus interviews with Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport Lisa Nandy and Paymaster General Nick Thomas-Symonds.

Reeves gives ‘deluded’ conference speech as Labour goes to war with itself

The first female general secretary of the Unite union is clear about her priorities: “jobs, pay, and conditions”. She is also convinced that Labour is failing to improve all three.

Unite is one of the party’s biggest financial and political backers, but Sharon Graham says Labour has strayed from its working class roots. Now she is threatening to pull the union’s funding for the party entirely.

In a wide-ranging interview, she tells Kamal Ahmed about where Starmer is going wrong; why Reform’s Nigel Farage “puts his finger on the pulse”; and the future of Unite’s relationship with Labour.

Unite leader Sharon Graham: Labour isn't being Labour. Farage could be PM

The Manchester mayor is on manoeuvres: Andy Burnham told the Telegraph that several Labour MPs have called on him to challenge Keir Starmer for the Labour leadership.

Tim and Camilla speak to Tony Diver, the journalist who got the scoop, to ask if Burnham could actually pull it off and about his history as a political chameleon, having served Blair, Brown and Corbyn.

Meanwhile, is another embarrassing resignation in the pipeline for Starmer? His chief of staff Morgan McSweeney is under fire over reports of undisclosed donations.

Conservative chairman Kevin Hollinrake explains why he thinks the police should investigate.

Inside Andy Burnham's far-Left plot to oust Keir Starmer

Among the claims Donald Trump made in his blistering UN speech was that Sadiq Khan is “terrible” and “they want to go to sharia law”.

The London mayor has called the comments “Islamophobic”, but are there legitimate concerns to be had about the "shadow system" of approximately 85 sharia courts operating in the UK?

Camilla and Tim speak to Fiyaz Mughal, founder of anti-Muslim monitoring project Tell MAMA, about how sharia courts work and why they can be harmful – not least to women.

Plus, ahead of a speech by Keir Starmer about “reclaiming the flag”, we ask what patriotism and flag-waving really mean in the UK today.

The truth about the rise of sharia law in Britain

After decades of gaffes and scandals, often involving her ex-husband Prince Andrew, it seemed Sarah Ferguson was on the path to royal redemption.

That is until a series of her emails to Jeffrey Epstein were leaked, in which she called the convicted paedophile a “supreme friend”.

Camilla and Tim are joined by royal biographer Andrew Lownie to react to the revelations about Fergie, who has been dropped as a patron by numerous charities, and to ask how the King should respond.

Plus, after a remarkable press conference which saw President Trump and Robert F Kennedy Jr promote misinformation about autism and paracetamol, Science Correspondent Joe Pinkstone debunks the myths.

Prince Andrew's biographer on why the King must cancel Fergie

Reform UK says it will deport hundreds of thousands of legal migrants if elected to government.

Nigel Farage has set out plans to scrap indefinite leave to remain, ban migrants from ever accessing benefits or the NHS, and raise the language and salary requirements for all foreign nationals.

Camilla caught up with the Reform leader to ask if the proposals are a “two-fingered salute” to business and if they risk alienating moderate Tory voters.

Plus, with Ed Davey opening the Liberal Democrats’ conference in Bournemouth via marching band, can the party be taken seriously as a political force? And are they either liberal or democratic any more? Tim is in Bournemouth to find out.

'Too many come and don't work': Farage tells us his deportations plan

Robert Jenrick, shadow justice secretary and former Tory leadership contender, joins Kamal and Camilla in the studio to discuss Labour's multi-billion pound grand plans to build four new super-prisons.

The prisons will create 14,000 new places, but Justice Secretary Shabana Mahmood says we’re still going to run out of space within three years. They will also be forced through the planning process by Angela Rayner under powers that allow the objections of local towns and villages to be overruled.

Kamal and Camilla ask if forcing prisons through the planning system without properly consulting with local residents is ever a good idea.

Plus Jenrick on first-cousin marriage and whether Shamima Begum should return to the UK now that the Assad regime has fallen.
