The Daily T

The Chancellor’s speech today was the clearest sign yet that she is planning tax rises on working people.

Rachel Reeves is said to be considering raising income tax by 1p or 2p in her upcoming Budget, breaking a key Labour manifesto promise.

Camilla and Tim are joined by Telegraph political editor Ben Riley-Smith to ask how the Government might try to justify this latest U-turn.

Later, Sunday Telegraph editor Allister Heath calls out Reeves’s “monstrous lies”, the likes of which could usher in a Reform government.

Reeves speech lays bare Labour's 'monstrous' tax lies

Another day, another BBC scandal. Gordon Rayner joins Camilla and Tim in the studio to reveal how the corporation doctored Donald Trump’s speech on January 6th, completely changing its meaning so as to make it seem the President had actively encouraged the now infamous Capitol Hill riots. Is this latest case of BBC bias a scandal too far for director-general Tim Davie?

Elsewhere, Camilla and Tim went along to see Nigel Farage outline how a Reform government would run the economy, with the party now rowing back on their manifesto pledges and ruling out any tax cuts until spending has been brought under control.

BBC Trump scandal: Why Tim Davie needs to go

In a truly unprecedented move, King Charles has stripped his brother of all titles and forced him to leave his Royal Lodge residence.

The announcement comes after months of revelations about Prince Andrew’s relationship with the convicted paedophile Jeffrey Epstein and sex abuse allegations by Virginia Guiffre.

Tim speaks to the Telegraph’s deputy Royal editor Victoria Ward for an inside look at the talks that preceded this decision, plus what life will look like now for Mr Mountbatten Windsor. 

Plus, Tim is joined by Rafe Heydel-Mankoo, royal commentator, to explain the legal nitty gritty of this change, and later by Telegraph columnist Annabel Denham who asks: should we be feeling sorry for Andrew?

Andrew ousted in brutal sacking. What will 'commoner' life be like?

Tim is joined by Jacob Rees-Mogg to discuss wheter Rachel Reeves be forced to resign after admitting to not having a licence to rent out her home. Jacob also takes aim at the Chancellor’s plans for a 2p rise in income tax, calling it “desperately unfair on what Labour likes to call working people”.

They're also joined in the studio by Camilla Turner, Sunday Telegraph political editor, whose months-long investigation into a care home in Salisbury, Wiltshire details a litany of allegations of abuse of extremely vulnerable patients.

Why ‘rent scandal’ Reeves is the ultimate in Labour hypocrisy

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

Reaction from Washington DC on a night of drama as Trump takes back The White House.

ItIt is a stunning victory that will go down in history. Only the second President ever to return for a second, non-consecutive term, and the first to have a criminal conviction - Donald J Trump is back in The White House.

Camilla spills the beans on her night at a Republican watch party in the capital as the results rolled in. While US Editor Tony Diver joins Kamal to try and get a sense of how Trump achieved the impossible, where it all went wrong for Kamala Harris and what a second MAGA presidency could look like for the US, the UK, Europe and the world.
