The Daily T

In today’s episode of The Daily T, Camilla Tominey and Tim Stanley dissect Andy Burnham’s performance at his second-ever appearance at Prime Minister’s Questions. They analyse Mr Burnham’s jovial responses to other questions from MPs in the Commons, and deliberate whether he is a “continuity Keir” – as he was labelled in today’s Questions – or in fact, even worse. Camilla and Tim also discuss the PM’s response to being challenged by Kemi Badenoch, the Tory leader, on how the Government would find the money to meet defence spending targets, to which he insisted that welfare would not be cut to fund it.

In today’s episode of The Daily T, Camilla Tominey and Tim Stanley discuss Andy Burnham and Ed Miliband’s decision to impose sanctions on Israeli settlements in the West Bank.

Plus, Camilla and Tim are joined by Victoria Ward, the Deputy Royal Editor, to discuss the King’s official letter clarifying that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex remain non-working royals.

In today’s episode of The Daily T, Camilla Tominey and Tim Stanley speak to some of Reform’s key women, live from a special event at day two of Reform’s party conference.
Nadine Dorries, the Reform UK member and ex-Conservative Secretary of State, defends the party after its latest donations scandal, and says that Nigel Farage is being made out to be “enemy number one” by his critics. She also argues that the Right of UK politics needs to reunite more than ever, now that the Left has an ever-growing “cosy consensus”.

Sarah Pochin, the Reform MP, says Channel 4’s investigation of Reform’s donations “looks like entrapment”, and speaks to Camilla and Tim about her campaign for the equality and safety of women and girls. Meanwhile, Laila Cunningham, Reform’s London Mayoral candidate, explains how she would tackle crime in the capital.
