The Daily T

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

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

Labour is sticking to its manifesto pledge, confirming that it will give 16 and 17-year-olds the vote at the next general election. Announcing the decision, Keir Starmer said that they were old enough to pay taxes and should therefore get a say in the running of the country.

But have Labour just inadvertently opened the door for two politicians incredibly popular with the young – Nigel Farage and Jeremy Corbyn? Camilla and Tim speak to Scarlett Maguire, founder of polling firm Merlin Strategy, who believes that Corbyn is the politician “potentially capable of mobilising and motivating this group”.

Elsewhere, they also speak to Rachel Maskell, one of the four Labour MPs who had the whip removed yesterday for her part in the disastrous welfare rebellion, about what life is like under Starmer’s leadership and the “insulting and unprofessional” comments made about her and her colleagues by party sources in the aftermath.
