The Daily T

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’s the fourth anniversary of the murder of Sir David Amess, the Conservative MP who was killed by an Islamic State sympathiser during a surgery in his Southend constituency. At Prime Minister’s Questions this lunchtime, Sir Keir Starmer paid tribute to a “much-loved”, “kind” and “generous” man and talked of the “huge loss” many across the house still feel.

Watching on from her home in Los Angeles was Sir David’s daughter, Katie, and she tells Camilla Tominey and Tim Stanley on today’s Daily T of her disgust at hearing the Prime Minister paying such a fulsome tribute when he’d “ignored (her) letters” and had been “so disrespectful” after she’d “pleaded with him to hold an inquiry” into the failings that allowed Sir David’s murderer to slip through the net.

Camilla and Tim also reflect on the questions that still need to be answered about the China spying scandal, as well as Sir Keir calling for a calming of the political rhetoric whilst simultaneously accusing Reform of being “Kremlin cronies”.

"It's absolutely disgusting" Sir David Amess's daughter slams Starmer's tribute to murdered MP

The Government is under huge pressure to explain why the high-profile trial of two men accused of spying for China collapsed just weeks before it was due to begin.

Former parliamentary researcher Christopher Cash and Christopher Berry were charged under the Official Secrets Act, accused of gathering sensitive information for Beijing between December 2021 and February 2023. Both men have always maintained their innocence. Now, ministers face mounting criticism after the Crown Prosecution Service said the case failed because key evidence linking China to national security threats was never provided. 

In today’s episode of The Daily T, Camilla and Jacob Rees-Mogg discuss how a collapsed spy case could spell serious trouble for Starmer’s Government. We’re also joined by Tory MP Tom Tugendhat who points out that his party repeatedly described China as a threat to the country whilst in Government. 

And should Westminster really be deciding how people discipline their own children? As acting legend Michael Caine and the former England footballer Alan Shearer join calls for Keir Starmer to ban smacking, Camilla and JRM share their own experiences of disciplining their children (and you might be surprised by Jacob’s response).

How the China spy scandal could bring down Keir Starmer

On today's Daily T, we bring you an exclusive interview with former Prime Minister Boris Johnson.

Boris joined us in the studio on the 100th anniversary of the birth of Margaret Thatcher, and he makes the case for why he was right to follow the science over Covid lockdowns, why Kemi Badenoch is the best person to lead the Conservatives and how the current Prime Minister has "made no difference" over the war in Gaza - comparing his recogntition of a Palestinian state to a "fart in a gale".

Camilla and Tim also grill him over the record levels of immigration during his premiership, ask whether the China spy story could bring down "hyprocrite" Starmer and he explains why he's worried by Reform leader Nigel Farage's previous warm words about Vladimir Putin.

Exclusive: Boris Johnson interrogated on his immigration record

Paul Burrell – former servant of the British Royal household and personal butler to Diana, Princess of Wales – joins Camilla and Tim in the Daily T studio to discuss his revealing new book The Royal Insider.

Burrell spent over a decade serving Queen Elizabeth II before working for King Charles III and Diana at Highgrove. He opens up about life behind palace walls, including extraordinary private moments with the late Queen and the Princess. 

He recalls the Queen’s candid private moments, alleged details about her health, and a furious confrontation with Charles over lying to Diana. He also shares what really happened on the night his beloved Diana died and how the monarch helped him avoid prison.

'Harry wouldn’t have married Meghan if Diana was alive' – ex Royal butler Paul Burrell

It was an astonishing moment in the White House last night, as Donald Trump was interrupted by his secretary of state Marco Rubio during a press conference discussing radical ‘Antifa’ groups with some major news - a peace deal in Gaza was close to being struck.

If Trump can pull off peace in the region, then calls for him to win the Nobel Peace Prize, which happens to be announced on Friday, will only grow louder.

On today’s Daily T podcast, we speak to Gili Roman, whose sister Yarden was amongst the first hostages to be released by Hamas in November 2023, Israeli deputy foreign minister Sharren Haskel, and Trump’s great friend Piers Morgan who all agree on one thing - the President must win it.

Trump loses out on Nobel Peace Prize, but hostage's brother says: 'he deserved it'

They've overtaken Labour in the polls for the first time, and now they have their sights set firmly on Number 10.

Despite Labour cancelling local elections for millions of voters, Reform aren't going anywhere, and in this episode we hear from one of the lynchpins of their success - Rupert Lowe MP. 

He's sat down with our own Gordon Rayner to reveal how the party plans to win at the next election, why Labour are ruining the country, and what he thinks of Elon Musk and Tommy Robinson.
