Straitjacketed by a manifesto that promised not to raise income tax, National Insurance or VAT on “working people” – and stymied by an exodus of people wealthy enough to seek financial safety elsewhere – the Labour party is scrambling to raise enough revenue to fill a £20bn fiscal black hole. As the 2025 autumn Budget draws ever closer, there is increasing apprehension as to whether Chancellor Rac...

A stark new review has found that Britain is not ready for war , warning landing on the same morning the Government unveiled fresh plans to boost the nation’s defences. This morning, Defence Secretary John Healey unveiled a major £1.5bn investment in 13 new UK munitions factories, a bid to ramp up Britain’s defence industry as global threats escalate.  The announcement came as Healey revealed...

Reform UK has set out its plans to plug a £25bn hole in the economy, and the policies essentially amount to one thing: making it more expensive to be a foreigner in Britain. But the press conference got a bit frosty when Camilla asked Nigel Farage who his pick for chancellor would be. Meanwhile, in another central London conference centre, the Conservatives were announcing...not very much at all....

Shabana Mahmood has announced a major asylum crackdown, in a clear attempt to pacify the Right of Labour and the country at large. The Home Secretary’s plans, based on a model successfully implemented in Denmark, include a 20-year wait for refugees to apply for indefinite leave to remain, reviews of refugees status every 30 months, and legislation that will promote British law over the ECHR. Camil...

It’s the morning after the scoop before, and the end of a bad week for the BBC. After The Daily T revealed how Newsnight also doctored Donald Trump’s January 6th speech, and were called out live on air, Tim and Camilla go inside the BBC’s own response to the saga. Hint: it suggests the corporation is as deluded as ever. Then, it’s a scandal which is arguably more damning than phone hacking. We hea...

A Daily T investigation has uncovered another, earlier example of the BBC doctoring footage of Trump’s January 6th speech. Not only that, but it was called out live on air by a Newsnight contributor – and nothing was done. This comes after the resignation of top BBC officials in the wake of a Telegraph story detailing how a 2024 Panorama documentary spliced footage of the president in a way t...

Westminster was thrown into chaos last night after Downing Street rushed to defend Sir Keir Starmer’s leadership amidst whispers of 'coup' to oust the leader.  Starmer’s allies are pointing the finger at two of his top ministers, Health Secretary Wes Streeting and Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood, accusing them of “leadership manoeuvres”. But Streeting flat out denied he had any such plans duri...

President Donald Trump has gone to war with the BBC - demanding one billion dollars unless the broadcaster apologises for their Panorama investigation by Friday.  The US president is accusing the public broadcaster of a “reckless disregard for the truth” over the selective editing of Mr Trump’s speech on the day of the Capitol Hill riot.  Despite the BBC’s current turmoil, outgoing direc...

The BBC has been forced to apologise for the “error of judgement” that saw Donald Trump’s speech on Jan 6 2021 edited misleadingly – as revealed by The Telegraph – in an episode of Panorama in October 2024. Trump has also threatened legal action against the broadcaster following Sunday night’s resignations of director-general Tim Davie and chief executive of BBC News Deborah Turness. Camilla and T...

Every day, millions of us step onto trains, walk through busy town centres and trust that we’re safe. But that trust was shattered this past weekend when a man armed with a knife went on a violent rampage aboard a high-speed train bound for London. And not long after that horror unfolded, confidence in the justice system was shaken again after two prisoners were mistakenly released from HMP Wandsw...

David Lammy was left humilitated at Prime Minister's Questions this lunchtime when he refused to answer multiple questions about whether another migrant prisoner had been mistakenly released. It was confirmed as the session was ending that police were indeed searching for a prisoner who was accidentally let out of Wandsworth Prison. Camilla and Tim react to a calamitous performance from the Deputy...

The Chancellor’s speech today was the clearest sign yet that she is planning tax rises on working people. Rachel Reeves is said to be considering raising income tax by 1p or 2p in her upcoming Budget, breaking a key Labour manifesto promise. Camilla and Tim are joined by Telegraph political editor Ben Riley-Smith to ask how the Government might try to justify this latest U-turn. Later, Sunday Tele...

Another day, another BBC scandal. Gordon Rayner joins Camilla and Tim in the studio to reveal how the corporation doctored Donald Trump’s speech on January 6th, completely changing its meaning so as to make it seem the President had actively encouraged the now infamous Capitol Hill riots. Is this latest case of BBC bias a scandal too far for director-general Tim Davie? Elsewhere, Camilla and Tim w...

They're also joined in the studio by Camilla Turner, Sunday Telegraph political editor, whose months...

Yet another immigration fiasco this week: it has emerged that the migrant sex offender who was accidentally released from prison was paid £500 to be deported.

Later, Tim sits down with Nadine Dorries, the former Tory MP...

A weekend fiasco has thrown Britain’s immigration and prison system into chaos after Hadush Kebatu, an asylum seeker jailed for sexually assaulting a 14-year-old girl in Epping, was mistakenly released from Chelmsford prison. He was meant to be deported to Ethiopia but was freed in error, sparking a two-day manhunt before his recapture in North London.  Justice Secretary David Lammy faced MPs...

When 19-year-old Jay Slater went missing and was later found dead in Tenerife, his family never expected the online frenzy that would compound their nightmare. Social media ‘sleuths’ spread conspiracy theories that Jay was murdered over a drug debt, or that his disappearance was a scam to raise money. Trolls even set up accounts pretending to be Jay and accused his mum, Debbie Duncan, of faking he...

Even the most innumerate among us has heard of the Laffer curve, a theory popularised by US economist and presidential advisor Arthur Laffer. It spells it out how, beyond a particular threshold, increasing taxes actually brings down revenue. Camilla and Tim are joined by the legendary economist – who has worked with Presidents Trump and Reagan and was a friend of Margaret Thatcher – to discuss the...

With Labour’s chaotic grooming gangs inquiry continuing to fall apart, Kemi Badenoch used Prime Minister’s Questions to tell Keir Starmer the victims were “right to call it a cover-up”.

Elsewhere, Camilla speaks to Jay Darkmoore, who resigned from the polic...
