    Starmer’s snowflake generation: “They just abuse welfare!”

    2026/05/28 | 41 mins.
    The former Labour health secretary Alan Milburn has delivered his landmark report into youth inactivity, revealing that the number of young people not in education or employment is poised to rise by nearly a third to more than 1.25 million over the next five years.

    Camilla and Jacob Rees-Mogg speak to the headteacher of St Thomas the Apostle in Peckham - Serge Cefai - who says that the younger generation are inclined to hide behind mental health “excuses” and try to “game” the welfare system rather than take responsibility and find work.

    Elsewhere, Telegraph Political Editor Tony Diver reveals how Peter Mandelson was texting Cabinet Ministers with “unsolicited advice” whilst he was serving as US Ambassador.

    From motorhomes to £2k pepper pots: Inside Sturgeon's husband's eye-watering embezzling

    2026/05/26 | 37 mins.
    Nicola Sturgeon’s estranged husband Peter Murrell, the former chief executive of the Scottish National Party, has admitted to embezzling over £400k of party funds in order to fund his “lavish lifestyle” - using the money to buy everything from luxury watches and fountain pens to a motorhome.

    Camilla and Tim speak to the deputy leader of Scottish Labour, Jackie Baillie MSP, who says both Sturgeon herself and the SNP leader and Scotland’s first minister John Swinney have questions to answer about what they knew at the time.

    Elsewhere, with Restore deciding to field a candidate in the Makerfield by-election and sexist tweets posted by Reform’s candidate Robert Kenton coming to light, are Nigel Farage’s chances of beating Andy Burnham slipping away?

    Bring back Borstals! Top cop slams parents’ lack of discipline

    2026/05/25 | 22 mins.
    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.
