EXCLUSIVE: Sunak on Boris, the election and... country music
On today’s episode of The Daily T, Camilla Tominey and Kamal Ahmed are joined in the studio by Rishi Sunak, the Prime Minster, for his first proper sit-down interview since calling the election.

Mr Sunak also tackles whether he is “too wet” as a conservative, what he makes of all the Tory MPs jumping ship, and how his faith informs his view on immigration.

Has Rishi Sunak caught Keir Starmer napping?
It’s the day after the very soggy night before.
Camilla Tominey and Kamal Ahmed are joined by Political Editor Ben Riley-Smith to get the inside track from the Conservative and Labour camps 24 hours after Rishi Sunak surprised everyone by calling a general election.
They also reflect on Mr Sunak’s slightly shambolic (and damp) speech on the steps of Downing Street and ask whether the timing of the announcement has caught out Sir Keir Starmer.
Plus, they reveal just how close Nigel Farage was to standing for Reform, and IPSOS polling guru Kelly Beaver is in the studio to look at the key numbers and indicators that will decide the election.

Sunak's snap election
He's finally set the date. This afternoon, Rishi Sunak made a surprise announcement, calling for an election on July 4. So Kamal and Camilla rushed back to the studio to give their snap reactions on why now and what happens next.
Plus, they scrutinised the tearful testimony of former CEO of the Post Office Paula Vennells after she finally appeared before the inquiry into the Horizon IT scandal and ask, will anyone ever be held accountable for the harm done to sub-postmasters?
They also reflect on the MP Craig Mackinlay’s remarkable return to parliament six months on from a life-threatening battle with sepsis which led to the amputation of both of his hands and feet.
