    Liz Truss jibe leaves Tory Shadow Chancellor squirming

    In today’s episode of The Daily T, Camilla Tominey and Tim Stanley speak to Andrew Griffith, the shadow chancellor, from the Conservative Party conference. Camilla and Tim challenge Griffith on the party’s pledges to cut welfare and scrap inheritance tax on family homes, with Tim asking how he would respond to a claim that he was “repeating Liz Truss’s mistake of promising something that country is not in a position to fiscally underwrite”. The shadow chancellor defends his party’s policies, saying they have been “forensically set out” and are not a repeat of the Truss mini-Budget. He claims that “balancing the books runs in [his] DNA” and clarifies that his aim to abolish a tax in every Budget under a Conservative government is an ambition, not a promise. Griffith also denies that the Conservatives have regained a reputation as “the nasty party”, and criticises Labour’s “hope handout” strategy when it comes to unemployment and benefits. ► Get more exclusive Daily T content from The Daily T+ membership!

    Worse than Corbyn: the fall of Zack Polanski

    Today’s episode of The Daily T reacts to Zack Polanski’s defeat in the Holborn and St Pancras by-election and whether or not this will lead to the Green Party leader being ousted. They discuss how much damage last week’s “Zionism is Racism” motion had done to the party and Mr Polanski’s absence has undermined his reputation and standing within the party. Tim considers whether despite defeat in the by-election the result cements the Green Party as the Labour alternative for Left-wing voters. They also discuss whether this result energises the Labour Party and that Polanski remaining in charge is a boost for Andy Burnham, and could lead to the Prime Minister calling an early general election. ► Get more exclusive Daily T content from The Daily T+ membership!

    Why botched police search won’t clear Andrew’s name

    Today’s episode of The Daily T follows the news that Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor won his High Court case over police raids on his homes. Gordon Rayner, The Telegraph’s Associate Editor, joins Camilla Tominey to explain what will happen to his confiscated possessions and what it means for the ongoing police investigation against him. Meanwhile, Camilla and Tim Stanley are also joined by Hannah Furness, our Royal Editor, to discuss how members of the “Sussex squad” have trolled a priest who suggested a charity alternative to her advent calendar. Supporters of the, no doubt oblivious, Duchess branded him “evil”, “Satan spawn” and said he was “a disgrace to the cloth”. They also look at Meghan’s Instagram post promoting her lifestyle brand, which includes a rare appearance from Princess Lilibet, making jam with her mother. ► Get more exclusive Daily T content from The Daily T+ membership!

    Kemi Badenoch takes fight to Andy Burnham with heartfelt conference speech

    In today’s episode of The Daily T from the final day of the Conservative Party conference, Camilla Tominey and Tim Stanley give their reaction to party leader Kemi Badenoch’s powerful and punchy speech to delegates and supporters. Camilla believes it displayed a more human side to the Tory leader as she discussed race, identity politics, defectors of her own party to Reform UK as well as her policy announcement to scrap inheritance tax on family homes. Camilla and Tim compare Badenoch’s closing address to Prime Minister Andy Burnham’s speech at last week’s Labour party conference, and the differences in tone and policy gaps in the PM’s rousing speech. Within their analysis, Camilla and Tim also reference The Telegraph’s exclusive story on the conclusion of Reform UK’s internal investigation, clearing senior party figures of any law-breaking after an undercover investigation by Channel 4 journalists. ► Get more exclusive Daily T content from The Daily T+ membership!

    Britain is bankrupt! We must undo Burnham’s socialist agenda

    In today’s special Daily T: On The Road, Camilla Tominey and Tim Stanley sit down with The Telegraph’s Allister Heath and Annabel Denham on day three of the Conservative Party conference in Birmingham. In front of a live audience with Camilla and Tim, Allister and Annabel give their verdict on the speech by shadow chancellor Andrew Griffith on his economic policies. They also explain how the party could unpick the latest Labour government’s socialist agenda, with Allister underlining that the country has “run out of money” under Keir Starmer and now Andy Burnham. Other topics of discussion include the view that the Conservatives seem to be “starting from scratch” this year, why Kemi Badenoch should stay on as leader – even if the party suffers a loss at the next general election – and what it should do to attract not only Reform voters but Liberal Democrat supporters too. ► Get more exclusive Daily T content from The Daily T+ membership!

    ‘He’s pulled off a socialist coup!’: Jacob Rees-Mogg on Burnham’s far Left move

    In today’s special Daily T: On The Road, Camilla Tominey and Tim Stanley speak to Jacob Rees-Mogg about day two of the Conservative Party conference in Birmingham. Speaking to Camilla and Tim in front of a live audience, Mr Rees-Mogg reacts to his viral interview with Tucker Carlson and argues the Prime Minister has brought Margaret Thatcher back into relevance by mentioning her in his speeches. He criticises Burnham for “taking the reins of power” and about-turning on his promises on Europe to the people of Makerfield, and accuses the PM of grasping power and moving “far Left” of Labour’s 2024 manifesto. Camilla, Tim and Jacob also discuss: their definitions of Englishness in light of Suella Braverman’s comments on her national identity, the Green Party’s motion defining Zionism as racism, and how Britain benefits from supporting Israel. ► Get more exclusive Daily T content from The Daily T+ membership!
