Plus Camilla and Kamal will discuss what a flock of very young Labour MPs will do to Westminster.

Plus, Nigel Farage has made his ambitions for 10 Downing Street clear - but does he have what it takes to be PM?

| 19 Jun 2024 | Tory wipeout | 00:40:06 | |
Rishi Sunak could be the first prime minister in history to lose his seat, according to new exclusive polling for the Telegraph by Savanta. The poll puts the Conservatives at just 53 seats and the Labour Party at a landslide 516. Savanta’s political research director Chris Hopkins joins Camilla and Kamal to unpack the data, including those all-important undecided voters, and why Rishi Sunak is still struggling to move the polls. Plus, former Justice Minister Sir Robert Buckland is on The Daily T to explain why he is calling for an amnesty for 29,000 people given criminal convictions for breaking Covid lockdown rules.

| 21 Jun 2024 | Reform’s Richard Tice vs immigration-positive prof | 00:43:37 | |
For this special episode of The Daily T, Kamal and Camilla do a deep dive into one of the thorniest issues in politics: immigration. How much is too much? Are immigrants the reason our NHS is barely able to cope and there aren't enough houses? Or are they a scapegoat for other problems? Are immigrants essential for economic growth and give more to British culture than they take? To answer all these questions and more, Kamal and Camilla are joined by Reform UK's chairman Richard Tice and by Jonathan Portes, professor of economics and public policy at the School of Politics & Economics of King's College, London and a senior fellow at UK in a Changing Europe. They also unveil some exclusive Savanta polling on public views about immigration, plus share some readers' letters on the issue.

Nigel Farage claims Boris Johnson will go down in history as the “worst prime minister of modern times” after a public spat that saw the ex-PM attack the Reform leader for his comments on Ukraine and Putin where he claimed the West provoked the invasion. Camilla reacts to the backlash in the studio with Associate Editor Gordon Rayner who's standing in for Kamal for this episode. Plus, could the general election gambling controversy be the new 'Partygate' for the Tories? And can the real Kemi Badenoch please stand up?

| 25 Jun 2024 | Could Farage 'stop the boats'? | 00:38:20 | |
Reform UK leader Nigel Farage has called small boat crossings a “national security emergency” and said Britain should cut off funding to France if it keeps escorting migrant vessels. But is it even possible to 'stop the boats'? Kamal and Camilla are joined by The Telegraph’s Home Affairs Editor Charles Hymas, who was on a catamaran on the Channel with Farage as he launched his party’s plan to address small boat crossings.

Labour’s plans to decarbonise the energy grid will cost ‘hundreds of billions’ of pounds, shadow chief secretary to the treasury Darren Jones has been revealed as saying by The Telegraph. This is despite Labour slashing its green spending commitments earlier this year. The Telegraph’s Associate Editor Gordon Rayner joins Kamal and Camilla to dive into his scoop and to ask: is Labour keeping secret the real cost of its net zero plans? And Kemi Badenoch vs Dr Who: the senior Tory has exchanged fierce words with David Tennant over gender, after the actor said he wishes she would “shut up” and “did not exist anymore”.

| 27 Jun 2024 | "Are you two really the best we've got?" | 00:34:15 | |
He's left it very late, but Rishi Sunak turned in probably his best performance of the general election in their final debate last night. But will it be enough to derail the predicted Labour landslide? And are voters even listening to him any more? Kamal and Camilla draw parallels between this election and the campaigns in 1992 and 1997 and try to work out what sort of result we're heading towards next week. Plus, Kamal was in the post-debate 'spin room' and caught up with big beasts on both sides - Labour's Darren Jones as well as Conservatives David Davis and Victoria Atkins. He also chatted to audience member Robert Blackstone, who crystallised the campaign as well as anyone when he asked - 'are you two really the best we've got?'

Joe Biden and Donald Trump went head to head for the first time in this US election campaign last night and it could not have been more catastrophic for the incumbent president, with a series of rambling and incoherent answers and, at one point, a total freeze. Kamal and Camilla break down the highlights and - perhaps more accurately - lowllights of a remarkable debate, and talk to US Editor Tony Diver who was in the 'spin room' in Atlanta getting all the reaction from the Republican and Democrat camps. Plus, Telegraph Political Editor Ben Riley-Smith joins them in the studio to chat about his interview with Rishi Sunak, during which the Prime Minister accused Reform leader Nigel Farage of being a Putin appeaser. They also reflect on Sunak's powerful comments today after a Reform UK canvasser used a racist term to describe him, with the Prime Minster saying that Farage has 'questions to answer'.

| 01 Jul 2024 | How Le Pen humiliated Macron | 00:33:20 | |
Mon Dieu. Emmanuel Macron's gamble to call a snap general election after poor results in the European elections last month looks to have backfired, with Marine Le Pen's far-right National Rally trouncing the President's centrist coalition in the first round of voting in France. Kamal and Camilla talk to The Telegraph's Paris Correspondent Henry Samuel to find out what it means ahead of the final round of voting at the weekend. With France heading for uncharted territory, could it end in a chaotic parliamentary deadlock? Plus, England scraped into the quarter finals of the Euros after a dramatic comeback against Slovakia.

After six long weeks, it's the final day of campaigning in the general election! The Tories have, at the very last minute, deployed Boris Johnson at a rally in London. Is he an asset to Rishi Sunak’s campaign, or a reminder of the very reason they’re on the verge of electoral oblivion? Kamal is joined in this episode by the Sunday Telegraph’s political editor Camilla Turner to pour over Johnson’s surprise intervention and ask whether it’ll make any difference.

Just waking up? We’ve got you. Sir Keir Starmer has delivered a landslide Labour victory. The Conservatives have been decimated. And Nigel Farage has finally been elected an MP.

| 05 Jul 2024 | Labour in power and Iain Duncan Smith on Farage | 00:46:32 | |
It’s official: we have a new prime minister. When Sir Keir Starmer spoke on the steps of No 10 Downing Street he became just the seventh ever Labour politician to lead the country - but the challenges he is facing are vast. Kamal and Camilla take a look at the issues at the top of his in-tray, from a sluggish economy to immigration concerns. Plus with a low vote share and a historic number of seats won by the Lib Dems, Reform, the Greens and independent pro-Palestine candidates, they ask whether Labour can really be the “government of service” Starmer wants them to be? Plus, Iain Duncan Smith joins Kamal and Camilla in the studio to discuss how he held on to his London seat and what next for the Tories as they reel from one of their worst electoral losses ever.

| 08 Jul 2024 | What now for France as right and left go to war? | 00:41:11 | |
In a shock result, the second round of French elections delivered a victory of sorts to the left-wing New Popular Front alliance, pushing Marine le Pen’s National Rally into third place behind the centrists. But with no group winning a majority in parliament, President Emmanual Macron now faces some difficult choices. To discuss what it means for France, Europe and the UK’s fledgling government, Kamal and Camilla are joined in the studio by French journalist Charlotte Kan and The Telegraph’s resident Parisian Adelie Pojzman-Pontay. Plus, how has Prime Minister Keir Starmer fared in his first few days in government? The new Cabinet is off to a flying start, but Kamal and Camilla notice a familiar name that keeps cropping up: Tony Blair.

| 09 Jul 2024 | How unwell is Biden really? | 00:39:22 | |
In a remarkable turn of events, the White House medical team has had to clarify that a neurologist who visited eight times in as many months was not there to treat President Joe Biden, following angry exchanges in a media briefing with Biden’s press secretary. Meanwhile, Mr Biden himself took matters into his own hands and unexpectedly called into a morning news show to defend his own health and insist he would remain the Democrat nominee for the presidential election. Kamal and Camilla discuss the whole sorry mess, which comes in the light of Prime Minister Keir Starmer’s first visit to Washington for the Nato summit. Plus, our Crime Editor Martin Evans and Science Editor Sarah Knapston are in the studio to discuss their story about the questions surrounding the evidence used to convict former nurse Lucy Letby.

| 10 Jul 2024 | Can Labour be trusted on defence? | 00:35:47 | |
Sir Keir Starmer has jetted off on his first overseas trip as Prime Minister - to the NATO summit in Washington. But it all comes as he committed to an ‘ironclad guarantee’ to raise defence spending to 2.5 per cent of GDP, but refused to say when. So how serious are Labour about protecting Britain? Kamal Ahmed and Camilla Turner speak to Telegraph Defence Editor Con Coughlin to find out if Labour’s plans for our armed forces go far enough. There’s also the small matter of the public finances being in ‘the worst state since World War 2’ according to Rachel Reeves. So how do we pay for it? Kamal and Camilla speak to Carl Emmerson from the Institute for Fiscal Studies to ask that very question.

| 12 Jul 2024 | Will Obama force out Biden? | 00:44:36 | |
President Joe Biden made not one, but two major gaffes at NATO this week, accidently calling Ukraine’s Volodymyr Zelenskyy ‘Putin’ before correcting himself and later referring to his Vice President Kamala Harris as ‘Trump’ without realising. As former president Barack Obama and senior Democrat Nancy Pelosi were reported to have spoken about their “concerns” over Biden, could the plot to push him out of the White House succeed before the month is out? Camilla and Kamal discuss the international fall out with US editor Tony Diver. Plus Ian Acheson, former prison governor and author of Screwed – Britain's Prison Crisis and How to Escape It, joins the podcast to explain the challanges Labour face in tackling the prison crisis as thousands of prisoners are set to be released early to avoid ‘total breakdown of law and order’ - and what are the cultural sacred cows you'd like to slaughter?

Former president Donald Trump said he is “supposed to be dead” as he described an attempt on his life as a “surreal” experience. He survived an attempted assassination after a gunman opened fire at his rally in Pennsylvania on Saturday, killing a spectator and wounding two others. Trump's right ear was grazed by a bullet in the shooting, leading to a historic image as he raised his fist in the air for a photo opportunity before being bundled away by Secret Service agents. Kamal and Camilla react to the aftermath of the events with US Editor Tony Diver in Washington and the government’s advisor on political violence and anti-extremism Lord Walney who warns assassination attempts becoming more likely. And now football isn't coming home, we'll be reacting with the highlights of the England vs Spain Euros final and discussing what went wrong for the team with our chief sports writer Olly Brown.

Former president Donald Trump has chosen self-professed ‘hillbilly’ and former Trump critic JD Vance as his would-be VP. Vance, who was announced as his running mate at the Republican national convention in Milwaukee, recently became a staunch Trump supporter, despite previously criticising him as “America’s Hitler” and “cultural heroin”. Camilla and Kamal discuss the story behind the man on every Republican’s mind with Telegraph reporter and author Cara McGoogan who once tried to interview Vance before he slammed a car door in her face.

The new Labour government has launched its agenda with all the pomp and ceremony of the King’s Speech. They’ve gone big on promises of economic growth, house building and health reforms - with some notable exceptions but few surprises. Will it be enough to satisfy a deeply unsatisfied electorate? And can Keir Starmer deliver the bold change he was elected on? In a special episode of the Daily T from Westminster, Kamal and Camilla are joined by The Telegraph’s Political Correspondent Dominic Penna to go over all the key themes and details of the King’s Speech - plus what's missing.

| 18 Jul 2024 | Is Starmer moving Britain closer to Europe? | 00:45:24 | |
European leaders have descended on Blenheim Palace with Keir Starmer promising a 'reset' in British-EU relations. But what will that look like in practice? To analyse Britain’s future relationship with Europe, an arch-Remainer and a leading Brexit figure go head to head on the Daily T - former Downing Street director of communications Sir Craig Oliver and Lord Frost, Boris Johnson’s Brexit negotiator. Plus, a damning report from the Covid Inquiry has found that ministers “failed their citizens” by preparing for the wrong pandemic. The inquiry’s chair Baroness Hallett says failure to plan properly led to more deaths and greater costs to the economy, and that the UK will face “immense suffering” if it is not better prepared for the next pandemic, Camilla and Kamal react to the report with chief reporter Robert Mendick outside the Inquiry. And, should men wear ties in the House of Commons?

| 19 Jul 2024 | ‘I shouldn’t be here’ - Trump's remarkable convention speech | 00:45:24 | |
Donald Trump has made his first public speech since his attempted assassination last weekend, telling the crowds he survived “only by the grace of almighty God”. Speaking on the final night of the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, the former president's speech outlined his plans for a second term in the White House. Trump started with a message of unity, promising to bring Americans together, but soon turned to his familiar attacking style. Kamal unpacks what the speech really meant and America's reaction to it with US Editor Tony Diver. And what will a Labour government mean for you? We asked the question at our first Daily T Live event, where Camilla and Kamal hosted subscribers at Telegraph headquarters in London with Associate Editor Gordon Rayner and the financial expert and presenter of Radio 4's Money Box Paul Lewis, answering your questions.

President Joe Biden has announced that he will “stand down” from the US presidential race, endorsing his vice president Kamala Harris. So what happens next? The announcement comes after weeks of speculation as many questioned Biden’s capability to run against Donald Trump following a number of public gaffes during his campaign. Camilla and Kamal discuss the immediate reaction to Biden’s resignation with US Editor Tony Diver, as the Democrats ‘scramble to build a presidential campaign’ for their new candidate.

| 22 Jul 2024 | Who is Kamala Harris? | 00:44:52 | |
It seems like, barring a miracle, vice-president Kamala Harris will become the new Democratic presidential nominee after Joe Biden announced his decision to stand down over the weekend. So who is she? Kamal and Camilla speak to Democratic political strategist Garry South, from Kamala Harris's home state of California, to find out more about who she is, what she stands for and whether she can beat Donald Trump. Plus, Reform leader Nigel Farage is in the Daily T studio for his take on whether Trump will be more worried by the prospect of facing Kamala Harris than he was Joe Biden. And they also ask the question - what will Joe Biden's legacy be?

Nigel Farage made clear his ambition to one day be prime minister even before his Reform UK party won five seats at the general election. But does he have what it takes? And is he offering the right answers to the UK’s woes? Camilla and Kamal sit down for an exclusive interview with the Clacton MP and Reform leader to discuss going after Labour, his controversial comments about recent riots in Leeds, and if he could really make it all the way to 10 Downing Street.

After the battles of the campaign trail, Sir Keir Starmer took to the despatch box for his first Prime Minister's Questions as leader of the country but rather than a continuation of the fireworks with Rishi Sunak, what we got was a very measured and cordial back and forth.

Tom Tugendhat is the latest Tory leader candidate to declare, with a front page article for The Telegraph stating that he's 'ready to leave the ECHR' - despite saying otherwise just 2 years ago. Kamal and Camilla (fresh from an eight hour lunch with the major Conservative movers and shakers) have all the latest inside information about the state of the leadership race, and ask how the ECHR has become the new fault line on the right. Elsewhere, Ed Miliband has launched Labour's flagship new publicly owned energy company Great British Energy - but does anyone know what it is? And Prince Harry has gone to war with the tabloids (again), and Camilla asks if it's time for him to take a bit of personal responsibility instead of blaming everybody else...

As Lord Falconer launches a private members’ bill to make assisted dying legal in the House of Lords, Kamal and Camilla catch up with him about why now is the right time to reignite one of the most controversial debates in the UK. The bill, which was first brought to the House of Lords in 2013, has been given a second chance after Dame Esther Rantzen reignited the debate. The broadcaster disclosed her plan to travel to Dignitas alone after her stage 4 lung cancer diagnosis last year. Currently, the laws in England and Wales around assisted dying mean her family could face criminal charges if they help her with euthanasia. In this Daily T Special, we speak to Dame Esther about what it means to have a ‘good death’ and why she thinks the bill should pass. Plus Paralympic legend Baroness Tanni Grey-Thompson argues the case against the bill, sharing her concerns about what it would mean for vulnerable disabled people. And Camilla and Kamal consider the Netherlands, where assisted dying is legal for people with mental health issues as well. We ask: is it a slippery slope?

“It’s not protest, it’s not legitimate. It’s crime and violent disorder”. That’s how Sir Keir Starmer described the far-Right riots that popped up following the Southport stabbings. But who are the rioters and what is motivating them? Camilla and Gordon speak to a former EDL member about why people join similar groups - and why he left. Then, with six candidates lined up to lead the Conservatives, we hear from the underdog: Mel Stride.

When Lucy Letby was convicted of murdering seven newborn babies and attempting to murder seven more, she became Britain’s most prolific baby serial killer. But why are the media questioning the evidence used in the trial?

Davis even plans to visit Letby in prison if he is allowed.

Plus, The Daily T has been to speak to Steve Darling, the newly elected Liberal Democrat MP for Torbay who is registered blind, to find out how easy it is to get around the parliamentary estate with his guide dog Jennie.

As the Democratic National Convention kicks off, Harris has broken with tradition to take to the stage before her big speech on Thursday, stealing President Biden's moment in the spotlight. It's a signal that it's well and truly the Kamala show. Kamal and our Sunday Telegraph Political Editor Camilla Turner chat to Tony Diver, our US editor, to ask the question on everyone's lips - can she beat Donald Trump? Plus Keir Starmer has said that plans to introduce a new “right to switch off” could mean that staff have to spend less time in the office.

He came with high hopes, but he left with no breakthrough. The US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken has just finished his ninth visit to the Middle East, attempting to negotiate a peace deal between Israel and Hamas. So is there anything to be optimistic about? Kamal and guest co-host Camilla Turner talk to former Oslo peace accords Israeli negotiator Daniel Levy about the major sticking points in negotiations and what if anything can overcome then.

| 23 Aug 2024 | The Daily T Investigates: 'He paraded me around the BBC - then abused me' | 00:50:08 | |
Welcome to The Daily T Investigates, a new series bringing you the best of The Telegraph’s investigative journalism from the heart of the newsroom. From Jimmy Savile to Huw Edwards, the BBC has in recent years been associated with a number of high-profile cases of paedophilia. But there have also been other cases of child abuse linked to the BBC, and now the organisation is facing fresh questions about whether it has done enough to protect children by properly vetting people coming into its offices or working on its behalf. In this special episode of The Daily T hosted by head of investigations Claire Newell, we reveal a previously untold story of child sexual abuse at the hands of someone working for the organisation and expose how the BBC contracted a convicted paedophile as a chauffeur for 30 years. A warning that some listeners may find some of the reporting upsetting.

| 27 Aug 2024 | Starmer says things can only get...worse? | 00:39:27 | |
It's the start of a new political season, and Keir Starmer has launched it with a downbeat speech promising a 'painful' short term future for the country with unpopular decisions ahead. The PM once more laying the blame for those decisions at the door of the Tories. But would he have been better trying to unleash a wave of optimism for a fresh new start under a new government? How long can he keep blaming the Conservatives? And does he have 'it'? Kamal and Camilla are back together to answer those questions along with Telegraph political editor Ben Riley-Smith. Plus, Ben has updated his book Blue Murder about the fall of the Conservative government and recounts conversations with Tory insiders about the real reasons Rishi Sunak called an early general election. And with the news Oasis have reformed - are Kamal and Camilla definitely, maybe going to try and get tickets?

He was sacked as Trump’s national security advisor in spectacular fashion in 2019, but foreign policy hawk John Bolton hasn't let that stop him from weighing in on US politics. As Kamala Harris closes the gap with Donald Trump, we asked Bolton if the Vice President has the political heft to lead the United States when global security is facing its greatest threats in decades.

| 29 Aug 2024 | Labour's tax raid begins - where will it end? | 00:28:39 | |
Despite insisting for months pre-election that Labour wouldn't raise our taxes, chancellor Rachel Reeves now appears to be poised to do just that as Keir Starmer warns of a "painful" autumn budget. So who will get hit the hardest? Will taxes ever come down again? And how did our finances get into such a sorry state? Kamal and Camilla discuss all that and more. Plus - Labour's suggestion that they may ban smoking in outdoor spaces has provoked outrage. We look at whether there would be a health benefit and what it would mean for pubs.

| 30 Aug 2024 | The Daily T Investigates: The Grenfell inquiry that 'delayed justice' | 00:42:51 | |
It was one of the UK’s worst modern disasters - and yet seven years on, no one has been held accountable for the Grenfell fire. With the official inquiry’s final report set to be released, people are expecting answers. How did the London tower block catch fire so quickly in June 2017? Why did 72 people die? And who is to blame? A police investigation is still ongoing, meaning the bereaved and survivors of Grenfell Tower will have to wait until at least 2027 before anyone can face charges. Chief Reporter Rob Mendick has been speaking to Flora and Hisam who were directly affected by the fire, Kimia Zabihyan (Advocate and Co-ordinator of Grenfell Next of Kin), and lawyer Imran Khan to hear what they think about the inquiry and what they want to see from the upcoming report into the tragedy.

The Conservative leadership campaign launches are coming in thick and fast, with Kemi Badenoch and James Cleverly formally kicking off their bids today. Camilla was at both events and gives her take on which of the candidates has the ‘X factor’ - and who might be a bit too ‘blokey’ to go all the way. Plus, the government has scrapped one-word Ofsted judgements following the suicide of a headteacher in 2022.

David Davis tells The Daily T he thinks “the balance of probabilities” is that the killer nurse is innocent, just as the health secretary says the public campaign to free her is “crass and insensitive”. With an inquiry into her crimes due to begin this week, the veteran Tory MP is in the studio again to reveal his own conclusions about Letby’s case. We also hear from a Cambridge statistician who has raised concerns about the evidence used to convict the nurse of murdering seven babies. Plus, is Labour brave enough to reform the NHS?

The PM is known to be keen on a freebie - whether it's Arsenal tickets or expensive specs.

Camilla and Kamal look at the report’s recommendations, including higher taxes on unhealthy foods, and ask if more nanny statism will really drag the country out of a health crisis. And Ed Davey has given his big speech at the Lib Dem conference, and used it largely to take aim at fourteen years of Conservative rule rather than holding Labour's feet to the fire.

The PM's chief of staff has taken a nice payrise that means she now earns more than her own boss, whilst Sir Freebies himself can't kick the habit as revelations of more gifts emerge. A BBC story that Sue Gray, Keir Starmer's chief of staff, asked for and was given a salary of £170,000 - £3,000 more than the PM - has Westminster in a gossip frenzy, with leaks, power struggles and disgruntled advisers dominating the headlines. It all comes as Sir Keir Starmer is under fresh scrutiny for accepting more hospitality from donor Lord Alli - with the Telegraph revealing that Starmer used his £18m penthouse on multiple occasions.

Kamal and Camilla review Nigel Farage's big speech at the Reform conference, their first since the election, with 4000 members at the NEC in Birmingham there to see him as he plots a course to become Prime Minister by 2029. They ask where Reform go from here and how they can grow from five MPs into a fighting force that Farage thinks can 'destroy' the Conservatives.

Camilla and Kamal are live from Liverpool once again to pick apart the bones of the PM's speech, which saw him dismiss criticism of his unpopular policies as "water off a duck's back". They also get all of the latest conference gossip from political editor Ben Riley-Smith, who's spent the past few days hobnobbing with the great and the good from the government.

| 25 Sep 2024 | Why humiliated Starmer has lost the Labour party already | 00:39:43 | |
Keir Starmer has been humiliated by his own party members voting against the winter fuel cut, and has also doubled down on accepting gifts, in another wretched twenty hours for the Prime Minister. On the final day of the Labour conference, party members gave the government a bloody nose by voting to oppose the winter fuel allowance cut. It won't change anything, but Keir Starmer now has a party in open revolt against his leadership, with one union leader telling the crowd it's 'not what people voted for' during a barnstorming speech. Camilla and Kamal ask where Starmer's already ailing government goes from here, with the Prime Minister also doubling down on accepting accommodation from Lord Alli in an interview last night; his excuse for which Camilla found "extraordinary".
