    I am sorry: Joshua Bonehill-Paine apologises to Jewish peer he terrorised

    The fall of Jason Arday: Cambridge’s woke poster boy or smear campaign victim?

    In this episode of The Daily T, Tim Stanley and Jacob Rees-Mogg dissect the downfall of Professor Jason Arday following his resignation from Cambridge University in the wake of plagiarism allegations and unverified CV claims. They speak to Professor Kehinde Andrews on the accusations Prof Arday faces and whether the intense scrutiny represents a racially-motivated smear campaign or a genuine concern for academic integrity. Tim and Jacob also discuss the wider state of Britain’s political parties, following the fallout from the Conservative Party’s controversial selection of former neo-Nazi Joshua Bonehill-Paine as a local council candidate and The Telegraph’s report on Wes Streeting accepting funds tied to disgraced crypto figure Sam Bankman-Fried. The pair ask: has over-regulation destroyed political judgment, or are today’s politicians simply worse than their predecessors? We want to hear from you!

    Inside Cambridge's Professor Arday scandal: why he didn't need to quit

    In this episode of The Daily T, Tim Stanley and Poppy `coburn discuss the saga surrounding Cambridge’s youngest black professor, Jason Arday, in the wake of his resignation following allegations of extensive plagiarism. Tim and Poppy also speak with Baroness Sharron Davies, the former Olympic swimmer and member of the House of Lords, following the enforcement of updated EHRC guidance on single-sex spaces. Davies expresses only “tempered joy” at the move, arguing that clear legal guidance comes far too late after years of institutional cowardice and corporate foot-dragging. Blasting the ongoing burden placed on female campaigners, Davies calls out ministers for forcing women to self-exclude or launch expensive crowdfunded legal challenges just to secure basic dignity, safeguarding, and biological reality in public life.
