    Macron arrives in London for Starmer’s Brexit surrender

    Emmanuel Macron is in London this week, meeting the Royal Family - and Keir Starmer isn’t missing the chance to cosy up to the French President.  The Prime Minister is hosting a summit in central London with Macron, bringing in French and British business bosses to talk trade and tech. Starmer is talking once again of strengthening ties with Europe, but is this yet another Brexit surrender deal after his ‘EU reset’ that gave away access to British fishing waters for twelve years? Starmer and Macron are also expected to announce plans for French police to do more to stop the endless flow of small boats crossing the Channel. But with no sign of a proper returns deal for illegal migrants, Tim and Cleo Watson ask The Daily Telegraph’s Europe Editor James Crisp what Britain really gets from this relationship.  And we remember Tory grandee Norman Tebbit, who has died aged 94. A towering figure in Margaret Thatcher’s cabinet, he helped take on the unions, oversaw privatisation and famously survived the IRA’s Brighton bomb of 1984. Lord Charles Moore, Thatcher’s biographer, reflects on Tebbit’s legacy and the era he helped shape.

    Why Starmer could be facing another rebellion

    Last week it was the failed welfare bill causing an embarrassing rebellion for the government. And now this week, Labour have set themselves up for more anarchy on the back benches with their plans to scrap support for children with special educational needs. Rachel Reeves has to find £5 billion to fill her black hole, and Tim Stanley and Cleo Watson discuss the Chancellor’s conundrum, whether they could end up raising money through a wealth tax, and how Starmer’s government has to get better at party management. And on the anniversary of the 7/7 London bombings, we speak to Gordon Rayner about his Telegraph exclusive investigation into Samantha Lewthwaite aka the “White Widow”, who married one of the bombers before vanishing and joining forces with the terror group Al-Shabaab, becoming one of Britain’s most wanted terror suspects.

    Is globalisation the way to beat Trump’s tariffs? Jeremy Hunt on the case for a free trade Britain

    In the aftermath of Donald Trump’s protectionist trade tariffs, how does a post-Brexit UK capitalise on its free trade opportunities? Is it time to reconsider what our tradeable goods really are? And should we be embracing globalisation as the best route forward? Jeremy Hunt puts his argument before Dan Hannan, Founding President of the Institute for Free Trade, and David Henig, Director of the UK Trade Policy Project at the European Centre for International Political Economy. In this special Daily T series inspired by his new book, Jeremy Hunt pitches his optimism and ideas to leading experts on how the UK can change the world for the better. From mass migration to leading the AI revolution, we ask, can we be great again?

    How long can Rachel Reeves last?

    After crying in the Commons on Wednesday, Chancellor Rachel Reeves was back out today alongside Keir Starmer, who declared the two are “in lockstep”. But it’s going to take more than a fresh hairdo and a jolly photo op to convince voters – and indeed the markets – that all is well inside Government. Tim and Gordon consider whether their credibility is shot for good after the welfare fiasco; how the Chancellor will handle the £5 billion hole it created; and the NHS reform plans that were overshadowed by it all. Plus, while Nigel Farage is parking his tanks on Labour’s lawn, figures on the Left are circling too. Journalist Aaron Bastani explains why the Greens and independents like Jeremy Corbyn are making gains, as well as why Keir Starmer’s approach to governing is “deluded” and how working people “pay too little tax”.

    Reeves cries in PMQs after Labour’s welfare ‘clusterf---’

    Labour passed its welfare reform bill on Tuesday night – but only after yet another concession to rebel MPs which make the changes almost meaningless, and wipe out £5 billion in planned savings. Why was the process so appallingly handled? Will heads roll in Government? And why was Chancellor Rachel Reeves apparently crying during PMQs this afternoon? Plus, how one suspended doctor is fuelling Britain’s worklessness crisis by handing out sick notes on demand and without consultation. Camilla speaks to the Telegraph’s Janet Eastham, who went undercover to expose Dr Sick Ltd.

    Keir Starmer's year from hell

    This Friday marks exactly one year since Keir Starmer was elected as Prime Minister in a landslide victory. Despite only polling 33pc of the vote share, Labour trounced the Conservatives, came away with an enormous majority of 174, and looked set for two terms of governmental dominance. As Starmer himself put it, Labour was planning for "a decade of national renewal". Camilla Tominey and Tim Stanley discuss how - from Lord Alli's free clothes to Rachel Reeves's disastrous budget, from going to war with farmers to the Chagos giveaway, from u-turns on winter fuel payments to u-turns on welfare reforms - Keir Starmer has somehow managed to squander all of the momentum from his election win in just twelve months. With his record low approval ratings, is he already at risk of being replaced? And if so - who by?

    Israeli minister: BBC chief should resign over Glastonbury hate chant

    When rapper Bob Vylan led chants of “death to the IDF” at Glastonbury Festival over the weekend, the BBC did not cut away but instead continued to broadcast the event live. Now the PM has demanded an explanation, with the Tories’ Chris Philp even suggesting the national broadcaster itself should be prosecuted. Israel’s deputy foreign minister Sharren Haskel tells Camilla and Tim that the BBC’s reaction has been “pathetic” and that director general Tim Davie should consider resigning. Plus, the Government has been forced into its latest climbdown after more than 120 Labour MPs threatened to kybosh its benefits bill. But former work and pensions secretary Iain Duncan-Smith tells The Daily T that the Government’s welfare reforms don’t go nearly far enough. We want to hear from you!
