The Daily T

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.

Eric Trump: The Left tried to destroy us, they wanted my father dead

David Lammy was left humilitated at Prime Minister's Questions this lunchtime when he refused to answer multiple questions about whether another migrant prisoner had been mistakenly released.

It was confirmed as the session was ending that police were indeed searching for a prisoner who was accidentally let out of Wandsworth Prison.

Camilla and Tim react to a calamitous performance from the Deputy PM and the institutional failures in our prisons that are being so publicly exposed.

Elsewhere, with socialist Zohran Mamdani elected Mayor of New York, they ask conservative pollster Ryan Girdusky how the city elected a man Donald Trump is calling a “communist lunatic”.

Lammy's PMQs calamity as second migrant prisoner accidentally released

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

A major new YouGov poll has revealed that Reform UK would win the most seats of any party if a general election were held today, making Nigel Farage the leading contender to become the next prime minister.

Camilla and Tim are joined by journalist and broadcaster Fraser Nelson, who is fronting a new 'Dispatches' documentary – "Will Nigel Farage Be Prime Minister?" – at 8pm tonight on Channel 4.

Fraser explains why Farage has been so effective at mopping up disillusioned voters; his masterful use of social media; and how Labour and the Tories have paved the way for a Reform political earthquake.
