     'She's a fighter, an absolute fighter': Fiona Phillips' husband Martin Frizell on her life with Alzheimer's

    In the UK, over 70,800 people in the UK are living with young-onset dementia. But what’s it really like to live alongside the disease? In this deeply personal and moving episode of The Daily T, we explore the realities of the disease with Martin Frizell, former This Morning editor and husband of journalist and broadcaster Fiona Phillips, who was diagnosed at the age of 61. The couple, who have been married for 28 years, have written a memoir together called 'Remember When: My Life with Alzheimer's', opening up about the struggles they have both faced. Martin joins Camilla in the studio to reflect on the last five years of living alongside Fiona's disease, how their family has coped and the challenges of becoming a full-time carer. He also shares powerful insights into the current state of Alzheimer’s research and why he believes it's still not getting the attention it urgently needs.

    Can We Be Great Again? Jeremy Hunt on why tech can save the British economy

    It might not be what the UK is best known for, but is our burgeoning tech sector the answer to buoying up the British economy? And if so, what’s standing in our way? This week, Jeremy Hunt is putting his case for the UK becoming home to the next Silicon Valley to Clare Barclay, President of Enterprise and Industry EMEA at Microsoft and Chair of the new Industrial Strategy Advisory Council, and Rohan Silva, Chair of Founders Factory in Western Australia - and former advisor to David Cameron. 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?

    ‘It’s outrageous!’: Nigel Farage on Starmer’s ‘crazy’ migrant deal with Macron

    Hundreds of migrants have crossed the Channel this morning, far outnumbering the handful who could be returned to France under Sir Keir Starmer’s new “one in, one out” migrant deal with Emmanuel Macron.  As the French president arrived at No 10 for last-minute talks, The Telegraph watched boats packed with young men leaving Gravelines beach at dawn while French police stood by. Later, 74 men, a woman and three children were handed over to Border Force by the French Navy, who even asked for the migrants’ life jackets back. Critics warn that returning around 50 migrants a week will do little to reduce crossings, raising questions over Labour’s Channel crisis strategy. Camilla and Gordon are joined by Shadow Home Secretary Chris Philp to discuss why the deal is a disaster for Britain and how Starmer has lost control of the border.  Meanwhile, Reform UK is shaking up Westminster again. Nigel Farage was heckled at PMQs while raising concerns about illegal migration and ex-Tory MP Jake Berry has become the latest to defect to Reform. Our political correspondent Dom Penna joins us after speaking with Reform MP Lee Anderson on what the party’s rise means for the Conservatives.

    Why Starmer won't rule out a wealth tax

    At today's PMQs, Labour leader Keir Starmer refused to rule out a new wealth tax. Leader of the Opposition Kemi Badenoch demanded a cast-iron guarantee that there won’t be an autumn Budget raid on wealth, but the Prime Minister couldn’t give one, fuelling Tory claims that a “toxic cocktail” of Labour tax rises could be on the way. Tim Stanley and Gordon Rayner are joined by Daily Telegraph Economics Reporter Emma Taggart to discuss what a potential 2% wealth tax on assets over £10 million, suggested by Labour grandee Lord Kinnock, could mean for savers, homeowners, and the British economy. And if you visit Heathrow this summer, Grammy-nominated artist Jordan Rakei has turned the airport’s everyday noises into a four-minute ambient soundscape designed to soothe travellers. But will it calm the nerves of our resident anxious flyer Tim Stanley?

    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”. Read: The Left is ready to strike against Starmer’s miserable leadership, by Aaron Bastani Producer: Lilian Fawcett Senior Producer: John Cadigan Planning Editor: Venetia Rainey Social Media Producer: Ji-Min Lee Video Editor: Will Walters Studio Operator: Meghan Searle Original music by Goss Studio Hosted on Acast.
