The Daily T

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

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.

And lessons from cycling 4000 miles across America.

All the polls put next week’s US presidential election on a knife edge. But Republican pollster Kristen Soltis Anderson says the result could still be a shock landslide - for either candidate. She explains what pollsters are missing, Trump’s enduring popularity, and why independents think Harris is 'deceptive'.

Plus, travel journalist Simon Parker travelled 4000 miles through 11 US states, from Cape Flattery on the Pacific Ocean to Florida’s Key West - all on a bicycle. He shares with Kamal and Camilla what he learned about politics across the pond.
