The Daily T

Former Met Police Detective Peter Bleksley joins Camilla Tominey and Tim Stanley to discuss if parents should be held criminally responsible for their children’s crimes.

Following the announcement of government plans to revamp parenting orders, Peter argues that more discipline is needed in modern parenting and that longer jail terms work as a deterrent for repeat offenders.

The Justice Secretary David Lammy revealed the plans to give courts extra powers to punish breaches of parenting order last week as part of efforts to prevent a repeat of the Southport murders, where the parents of triple killer Axel Rudakubana were castigated for failing to act on his erratic and violent behaviour.

Camilla Tominey and Tim Stanley dissect another utterly chaotic week in politics with comedian Geoff Norcott.

As Andy Burnham ramps up his campaigning in Makerfield, and Keir Starmer goes head-to-head with Kemi Badenoch at the despatch box, Norcott delivers his verdict on the political leaders we have to choose from in today’s Westminster.

Camilla, Tim and Geoff also discuss Kemi Badenoch’s attempts to out-Kemi herself, Wes Streeting’s skincare routine and why today’s politicians care more about going viral on social media than delivering an argument-winning speech in the Commons.

Fresh from a drive-by heckle during her visit to Leeds this week, Chancellor Rachel Reeves has set out a new package of “summer savings” to help families with the cost of food and travel, as Britons face rising prices caused by the conflict in Iran. But do these measures go far enough to make an impact?

On Thursday’s episode of The Daily T, Camilla Tominey and Tim Stanley speak to Rosie Duffield, former Labour member and MP for Canterbury, who says Sir Keir Starmer’s downfall does not come as a surprise, and explains why she will withhold her full support for Andy Burnham until he clarifies his stance on single-sex spaces and trans rights.

Meanwhile, Camilla and Tim react to the release of a new batch of documents relating to Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor’s appointment as trade envoy in 2001, as it is revealed the former prince preferred to visit “sophisticated countries” during his time in the role.

After a tumultuous two weeks for the Prime Minister, not even an Arsenal Premier League win could turn things around for Sir Keir Starmer ahead of his first PMQs since Labour’s devastating local election results.

On Wednesday’s Daily T podcast, Camilla Tominey and Tim Stanley delve into the fiery exchange in the Commons as Kemi Badenoch, the Conservative Party leader, said his approach to foreign and economic policy was “like the Soviets won”.

Camilla and Tim also look at the Green Party’s newest MP Hannah Spencer’s first question in the Commons, where she criticised her colleagues for “drinking on the job”, and the conveniently planted question for Starmer regarding Reform leader Nigel Farage’s £5m donation from a cryptocurrency billionaire.

Meanwhile, Wes Streeting gave his resignation speech in Parliament, warning that the Prime Minister’s failures will put Farage in power.
