    The late Queen’s mistake that William and Kate will not repeat

    In today’s episode of The Daily T, Camilla Tominey, Victoria Ward, and India McTaggart look back on 13 years since the “Great Kate Wait” to mark Prince George’s milestone 13th birthday and his upcoming transition to Eton College. With the second in line to the throne stepping into his teenage years, the team explores how the Prince and Princess of Wales are reshaping modern royal parenting. Grounded in a hands-on, “Middleton-esque” approach that prioritises immediate family over the traditional family firm, the Prince and Princess have intentionally minimised live-in staff and shielded their children from the public eye. The episode examines the unique generational pressures facing George compared to previous heirs, how his quiet public demeanour contrasts with life behind closed doors, and why his preparation for the crown carries a far greater sense of immediacy than it did for his father.

    Burnham's first 48 hours as PM implode: Hot mic prison release joke sparks fury

    On Wednesday’s episode of The Daily T, Camilla Tominey and Tim Stanley discuss the hot mic blunder in which Shabana Mahmood, the Home Secretary, and Wes Streeting, the Defence Secretary, were caught on camera joking about early prison releases. The timing of the incident could not have been worse for Andy Burnham, the new Prime Minister, on day three of his premiership. Anger over the Cabinet members’ poorly placed joke also came within hours of The Telegraph’s report that two of Pc Andrew Harper’s killers were amongst the criminals set to be freed under Labour’s plans to tackle prison overcrowding. As the new PM vows to review the early prisoner release policy, Camilla and Tim examine the fundamental flaws in Labour’s approach to justice. They also discuss how Mr Burnham’s regime can better handle communications crises with Guto Harri, Downing Street’s former head of communications under Boris Johnson. We want to hear from you!

    Same faces, same failures: Burnham’s reshuffle solves nothing

    On Tuesday’s episode of The Daily T, Camilla and Tim dissect Andy Burnham’s new Cabinet. Dubbing it a “desperate game of musical chairs”, they break down a reshuffled front bench which looks oddly familiar to the last one. They analyse the significance of John Healey’s appointment as Chancellor, the return of Angela Rayner and the reaction to Wes Streeting’s appointment as Defence Secretary. Elsewhere, Camilla and Tim have an impromptu discussion with comedy legend Griff Rhys Jones about Burnham’s Cabinet reset, the current political climate and Network Rail’s planned redevelopment of Liverpool Street Station in London – to which Jones strongly objects.

    A PM with no substance: Andy Burnham is the ‘messiah without a mandate’

    On Monday’s episode of The Daily T, Camilla and Tim are in Downing Street to react to Andy Burnham’s inaugural speech as Prime Minister, as Sir Keir Starmer’s departs from No.10 and hands the keys over to his successor. As Starmer bids an emotional goodbye after two years at the helm of government, Burnham addresses the nation (sans-lectern) as the UK’s fifth prime minister in four years as he pledges a “circuit breaker” for Britain. Camilla and Tim also discuss the new PM’s vision to “bring forward the biggest changes in the last 40 years”, including making ending rough sleeping his first priority when he walks through the doors.

    Vacuous and vague: Inside Andy Burnham’s speech of empty promises

    On today’s Daily T, Camilla Tominey and Sir Jacob Rees-Mogg dissect Andy Burnham’s Labour leadership victory speech, as the incoming Prime Minister sets out his vision for Britain ahead of accepting the keys to No10 Downing Street on Monday. Camilla & Sir Jacob discuss the PM’s five promises for Britain, the socialist nature of his speech and question who Burnham he is as he seems to stoke a divisive north-south narrative in his first public address as Labour leader.  They also weigh in on his bizarre social media Q&A in which Burnham reveals his controversial tea-making habits, and ask whether 'Burnhamism' is nothing more than ‘high vibes’ and ‘low detail’.

    On today’s episode of The Daily T, Camilla Tominey and Sir Jacob Rees-Mogg dissect the nation’s mood. From England’s devastating football loss to Argentina in the World Cup semi-finals (and the highly political aftermath) to a new prime minister taking office on Monday without a public vote. Is the UK in a state of terminal decline? Camilla and Sir Jacob analyse the political, economic and foreign affairs issues waiting in Andy Burnham’s in-tray, before he accepts the keys to No 10 next week. Meanwhile, Sir Jacob warns that, as his Conservative Party experience shows, installing a new leader without a mandate rarely ends well. We want to hear from you!
