The Daily T

In Friday’s episode of The Royal T, Tim Stanley and Hannah Furness are joined by India McTaggart, The Telegraph’s Royal Correspondent, to discuss the Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s visit to Nottingham.
The trio examine how much the Sussexes’ appearance resembles that of a visit by working members of the Royal family, despite their status as private citizens. The also debate whether the pair are setting out a pitch to return to the fold – or are setting up a “rival court” with their portfolio of public appearances and private commercial enterprises.

Tim, Hannah and India reflect on the “mixed messages” such visits, including to Nottingham, send to the Royal family and public in their campaign for privacy, as well as the poignancy of the couple’s visit to the place the Duke first introduced the Duchess to the world in 2017.

In today’s episode of The Daily T, Camilla Tominey and Tim Stanley discuss the ITV News investigation into Reform UK, which saw councillors filmed on camera expressing racist and sexist views. They discuss whether this expose is a case of “a few bad apples” or reflects an attitude within the political party itself. Camilla and Tim react to the views expressed by the Reform councillors in the undercover film, and explore whether those views are truly reflective of parts of electorate, and the influence of mass migration on attitudes towards nationalism and race. They also debate whether there is an unfair focus on Reform in contrast to its mainstream party rivals.

Elsewhere, Camilla is joined by Jacob Rees-Mogg sit down with ex-SAS reservist David Davis to talk about Britain's preparedness for war, as a new poll shows almost half of Brits admit there would be no cirumstance where they'd take up arms and fight for their country.

In today’s episode of The Daily T, Camilla Tominey and Tim Stanley discuss Andy Burnham’s “gaffe-laden” return to Prime Minister’s Questions after the party conferences. They look at how Burnham doubled-down on his claims of Russian interference in the 2016 Brexit referendum vote after Kemi Badenoch, the Conservative leader, challenged him about putting “his foot in his mouth”. They discuss how his firm stance against a deal with the Green Party over its “Zionism is racism” motion might lead to a rowback from the PM at a general election.
They also dissect Burnham’s more sympathetic exchange with Nigel Farage, the Reform UK leader. Tim deems Burnham to be “hypocritical” when factoring in his earlier praise of Badenoch for calling out Reform over some of its members’ comments on national identity and race.

In today’s episode of The Daily T, Camilla Tominey and Jacob Rees-Mogg are joined by David Davis, the former Brexit secretary. They discuss Andy Burnham’s comments over Russian interference with the vote – and the PM’s subsequent backtracking. Mr Davis accused the Prime Minister of politics that are “performative, not real”, adding that “ as a mayor, he got away with saying what he liked and nobody challenged him”. Camilla suggested that Andy Burnham could reinvigorate the Right if he pushes a campaign to rejoin the EU.
Plus as the anniversary of Sir David Amess’ murder approaches this week, Camilla, Jacob and David discussed the safety of MPs and what it is like to be in the public eye and be targeted for your views.

In today’s episode of The Daily T, Camilla Tominey is joined by Jacob Rees-Mogg to discuss Andy Burnham’s “obsession” with Brexit.
The Prime Minister has told MPs in Parliament that it is his “duty” to pursue a closer relationship with the EU and claimed in an interview that Russia interfered with the referendum in 2016.
Jacob wants the PM to “grow up” and stop fixating on Brexit – and describes the tactic as an act “straight out of Trump’s [political] playbook”.
Camilla and Jacob also address the reported £35bn black hole in the forthcoming Budget and the ballooning welfare bill that should be higher up on Mr Burnham’s list than Brexit.
Nigel Farage’s pledge to shut down the asylum system under a Reform UK government is also discussed, with Jacob agreeing that such robust action is needed to address the issue of small-boat crossings and backlog of processing asylum claimants.
