    In Friday’s episode of The Daily T, Camilla Tominey and Tim Stanley are joined by Nigel Farage as they visit London’s Royal Parks’ war memorials to remember the fallen before Remembrance Day. At the Bomber Command memorial in Green Park, the Reform UK leader tells Camilla and Tim about his paternal grandfather, Harry, and how he learnt of his First World War service records through archives at Kew. He discusses the trauma experienced by veterans and the difficulties they face readjusting to civilian life after serving in conflict. Farage also discusses his commitment to the Armed Forces and stresses the importance of teaching the full history of both world wars, including Britain’s role in the conflicts, as part of the national curriculum. Visiting the Australian War Memorial in Hyde Park, the party leader reflects on his efforts to secure Reform UK representation at the Cenotaph, and praises Winston Churchill’s courageous wartime leadership.

    Russell Brand guilty: A sexual predator in plain sight

    In today’s episode of The Daily T, Camilla Tominey and India McTaggart discuss the verdicts handed down in Russell Brand’s trial, at which he was found guilty of one charge of rape and three of sexual assault. Camilla and India run through the history of allegations made against Brand from his time working at the BBC, and from previous investigations by Channel 4 and The Times and Sunday Times, and examine how the disgraced comedian was continuously promoted by broadcasters in spite of his “shady” reputation. They also discuss why Brand was lauded by Left-wing political parties and publications during his heyday in the spotlight, and analyse whether his shift to wellness and Christian-focused content on Right-wing, alternative media platforms constitutes an attempt at “reputation washing”.

    PMQs row erupts as Labour fails to define ‘a working person’

    In Wednesday’s bonus episode of The Daily T, Camilla Tominey and Tim Stanley dissect Deputy PMQs, where Louise Haigh stood in for Andy Burnham at the Dispatch Box for the first time. They analyse the argument that erupted over the national welfare bill, and the number of times Alex Burghart, deputy leader of the Conservative Party, questioned the Government’s efforts to bring down the expenditure on benefits. Camilla and Tim also discuss Haigh’s role in Labour’s latest row over who counts as a “working person”, after Emma Reynolds, the Chief Secretary to the Treasury, told GB News that employers “are not working people”.

    Trump in midterm turmoil: Is Maga dead?

    In Wednesday’s episode of The Daily T, Camilla Tominey and Tim Stanley react to an awful night at the US polls for Donald Trump and the Republican Party. They discuss the loss of both the House of Representatives and the Senate, who was to blame and why the defeats were so convincing. Tim suggests it is the president who should shoulder the majority of the blame, saying: “Trump lost because he betrayed Maga. If he was elected to do one thing, it was to stay out of foreign wars.” They also examine how the Republicans’ aggressive campaign tactics appeared to backfire on several fronts, suggesting voters are tiring of attack-led politics and personal assaults on opponents. Camilla and Tim also examine the lack of clear leadership in both the Republican and Democratic parties, with neither having an obvious standard-bearer before the 2028 presidential election.

    Mahmood humiliated! Now her migrant climbdown will cost us £10 billion

    In Tuesday’s episode of The Daily T, Camilla Tominey and Tim Stanley discuss the Home Secretary’s climbdown on visas and the missed opportunity that could cost the taxpayer £10bn. Camilla describes the about-turn as “a climbdown on a supposed crackdown” suggesting that Shabana Mahmood has been “bullied out of her immigration crackdown by the Lefties in Cabinet”. Tim claims that the “real controversy is not the workers that came, but the dependants”, which he points out the Home Secretary avoided discussing in her address on Monday. They also discuss whether the announcement means that “Starmerism” is officially dead, and whether there is a Blue-Labour movement within the party.

    Burnham's Royal blunder: Hapless PM drags King into slavery row

    In Monday’s episode of The Daily T, Camilla and Tim are joined by Hannah Furness, The Telegraph’s Royal Editor. They discuss Andy Burnham’s suggestion that he would consider issuing a formal apology for Britain’s role in the transatlantic slave trade. The trio talk about how his remarks could affect the remainder of the King’s nine-day Caribbean tour. Hannah tells the hosts that, although protests have so far been relatively muted, the Prime Minister’s comments have put the monarch in “a quite uncomfortable position”. Camilla and Tim also discuss Emma Reynolds’s suggestion that employers are not “working people”, reigniting the row over Labour’s definition of the term and who should bear the burden of tax rises.

    Prince Harry wants a reconciliation - but it won't happen his way

    In today’s episode of The Royal T, Camilla Tominey and Hannah Furness speak to Arthur Edwards, a royal photographer who has been following the British Royal Family for the past 50 years, ahead of the release of his new book ‘Cup of Tea, Arthur?: My Extraordinary 50 Years Photographing the Royal Family’. He runs through some of his biggest photo scoops, including the first time he met and photographed Diana, Princess of Wales, as well as his disagreements with then Prince Charles, who Arthur says has “matured” over the years as he has taken the throne. Arthur, who works as The Sun’s principle royal photographer for over half a century, also explains why he thinks the Royal Family needs a figure like Prince Harry, who he once considered the institution’s “star”, and why Arthur believes reconciliation in the form the Duke of Sussex would like it, won’t happen.
