Episodes

Inside Lucy Letby's prison cell: 'Why are they doing this to me?' 06.02.2026

Lucy Letby is modern Britain’s most prolific child killer. The former neonatal nurse was convicted of murdering seven newborn babies and attempting to kill seven more. But medical experts and others have since raised serious doubts about the evidence used to convict her and some are now calling the case one of the greatest miscarriages of justice ever. In an exclusive interview, The Daily T speaks...

'Hanging by a thread': Labour MP torches Starmer in Mandelson backlash 05.02.2026

Sir Keir Starmer is facing a rebellion by Labour MPs over his handing of the Peter Mandelson and Jeffrey Epstein scandal. Labour backbencher Andy McDonald tells Camilla and Tim the PM is “hanging by a thread” after the Government was forced into an embarrassing climbdown on the release of Mandelson’s vetting documents. Elswhere, Kemi Badenoch tells Camilla that “someone should lose their job” over...

Starmer's darkest day: PM admits he knew the truth about Mandelson and Epstein 04.02.2026

Keir Starmer was given a grilling at Prime Minister’s Questions this lunchtime, with Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch forcing the Prime Minister into admitting that he was aware of Peter Mandelson’s ongoing relationship with Jeffrey Epstein at the time of his appointment as US ambassador, but decided to press ahead with the move anyway. Starmer, for his part, threw the one-time party grandee to t...

Mandelson's web of Epstein lies could bring down Starmer 03.02.2026

Peter Mandelson is under criminal investigation by the Metropolitan Police over claims that he leaked confidential government emails to Jeffrey Epstein. The Labour peer finally stepped down from the House of Lords today following a damaging week for the Government, after newly released material laid bare his relationship with the convicted sex offender. The revelations have intensified pressure on...

Starmer under fire as Mandelson, Andrew and Epstein scandal explodes 02.02.2026

Amongst the three million files released by the US department of justice pertaining to the crimes of Jeffrey Epstein, two people in particular emerge badly: Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor and Lord Mandelson. Camilla and Tim reflect on the calls for Lord Mandelson to be stripped of his peerage following the revelations, including that he leaked confidential government documents to the disgraced financi...

‘My teenage son was killed by a  ninja sword. I had to fight to ban them’ 30.01.2026

Knife crime in the UK has reached “national epidemic” levels, with 53,000 offences recorded in England and Wales in the year to March 2025. But how has this tragedy become so dangerously normalised, and what is the Labour government actually doing to tackle it? We look into the tragic killing of 16-year-old Ronan Kanda, who was murdered in 2022 with a ninja sword purchased online by two 17-year-ol...

Liz Truss: The Blob is infiltrating Reform 29.01.2026

Since being forced to resign over a mini-Budget that spooked the markets, Liz Truss has become something of a bogeyman for not just the Left but the Tories too. But Ms Truss insists she was “sabotaged” by the Bank of England and the Blob, and that Britain is being run by an “unelected technocracy”. The former prime minister tells Tim and guest host Rachel Johnson how she was “radicalised” by being...

Jacob Rees-Mogg on Tory ‘psychodrama’: Badenoch and Farage must work together 28.01.2026

Kemi Badenoch has attacked both Labour and Reform for being “addicted to psychodrama”, and called recent defectors from her party “drama queens”. Tim is joined by Sir Jacob Rees-Mogg to digest the speech. Tim also spoke to the Tory leader after she’d stepped off stage and put to her the suggestion – made by Sir Jacob on social media – that the Tories shouldn’t field a candidate in Gorton and Dento...

Konstantin Kisin: Britain is on the brink, Reform is the only party that gets it 27.01.2026

Camilla and Tim are joined by political commentator and co-founder of the ‘Triggernometry’ podcast, Konstantin Kisin. Kisin, Russian by birth but a British citizen who’s lived in the UK for the last thirty years, does not hold back on why Britain is “increasingly irrelevant” in the global pecking order, whether it’s through the “industrial suicide” of net zero, the “weakness” of diversity or Keir...

Braverman blasts Tory ‘lies’ in revenge Reform defection 26.01.2026

Could the last Right-winger in the Conservative Party please turn out the lights? Suella Braverman, former home secretary, has become the latest Tory to join Reform, telling a press conference: “I feel like I’ve come home”. Camilla and Tim consider what is now left of the Conservatives and explain why Nigel Farage must avoid alienating the Tories so much that a Right-wing coalition becomes impossi...

Save our pubs: The landlords calling last orders on Labour 23.01.2026

One pub a day closed in 2025, as Labour clobbered the hospitality industry with higher business rates, a National Insurance and minimum wage hike, and an increase in alcohol duty. With The Telegraph’s Save Our Pubs campaign calling on the Government to cease its assault on the Great British boozer, Camilla and Tim are in to Dorset to meet landlord Andy Lennox who is actively barring Labour MPs fro...

Trump's ‘disgusting’ diplomacy derails peace plan 22.01.2026

Donald Trump has overseen the formation of the ‘Board of Peace’, a project which started as an effort to rebuild Gaza but has now morphed into a world peacekeeping force that could rival the United Nations. But Keir Starmer and other European leaders have snubbed the invitation over Vladimir Putin’s possible involvement. Allister tells Camilla and Tim why he’s “sick of Trump” and his "disgusting"...

Trump blows up Davos and demands Greenland 21.01.2026

Donald Trump finally made it to Davos, three hours late. After a flashing-light emergency on Air Force One, Mr Trump used the World Economic Forum platform to unload on Europe, the UK and pretty much anyone else in range.  Marking a year since his inauguration, the US president mocked green energy, accused Britain of crippling itself by refusing to drill the North Sea, and claimed Europe has...

Trump attacks ‘stupid’ Starmer over Chagos and China blunders 20.01.2026

Keir Starmer’s belief that he’s the ‘Trump Whisperer’ appears to be in tatters. Having managed to say nothing of any great substance in response to the President’s tariff threats, the Prime Minister was on the end of a brutal social media evisceration overnight - as Trump took to Truth Social to call Labour’s Chagos Islands giveaway “stupid”. Camilla and Tim question why Starmer has allowed himsel...

Starmer does nothing as Trump threatens trade war over Greenland 19.01.2026

Donald Trump has threatened to impose tariffs on the UK and seven other EU countries if they don’t give him what he wants: full US control of Greenland. In an emergency Downing Street press conference on Monday, Keir Starmer announced, well, not very much. Camilla and Tim speak to The Telegraph’s Chief Foreign Affairs Commentator, David Blair, about the PM's attempt to keep the president and the E...

Exposed: The failed American asylum seeker Britain won't deport 16.01.2026

A US asylum seeker has been living in Britain for over a year with free accommodation and benefits, despite his claim being refused as ‘clearly unfounded’. Olabode Shoniregun, 27, fled Las Vegas claiming persecution and sexual assault by US law enforcement, yet admits he'd happily return 'to visit'. What makes matters even worse is the string of Home Office blunders that mean he’s still in the cou...

‘Britain is on the brink’: Jenrick defects to Reform in day of Westminster chaos 15.01.2026

Robert Jenrick has defected to Reform UK after his dramatic sacking earlier today. During a press conference with Nigel Farage, Jenrick accused the Conservatives of “breaking Britain” in his first speech as a Reform MP. Kemi Badenoch pulled a political U-turn the Prime Minister would be proud of when she announced her shadow justice secretary had been dumped over “irrefutable evidence” he was plot...

Starmer’s latest U-turn shame 14.01.2026

You could be forgiven for losing count of how many screeching about-turns the Government has now made on policy. Camilla and Tim discuss the newest addition to that long list: digital ID cards, which Kemi Badenoch skewered Keir Starmer on at PMQs. Meanwhile, West Midlands Police is in crisis after the Home Secretary announced its chief Craig Guildford no longer has her confidence, over revelations...

Starmer accused of lying after Chinese embassy 'spying' revelations 13.01.2026

Another Telegraph scoop: our journalist Gareth Corfield has exposed unredacted plans for the Chinese “super-embassy” that reveal a secret room within a metre of extremely sensitive data cables. Camilla and Tim speak to Conservative MP and China hawk Iain Duncan Smith, who accuses the Government of “lying from start to finish” about the embassy. Elsewhere, Camilla and Tim react to the news that the...

Tory ‘has been’ Zahawi defects to Reform after comparing Farage to Goebbels 12.01.2026

Reform's latest defector is former Tory Chancellor Nadhim Zahawi. Camilla and Tim reflect on the reasons behind Zahawi’s defection, whether welcoming yet another Tory could backfire for Reform, and ask the man himself whether he is a “has-been”, as his old party has been quick to suggest. They’re also joined by British-Iranian actor and comedian Omid Djalili, who’s been closely following the prote...

‘They lied and lied again’: Police in the dock over Maccabi ban and vetting failures 09.01.2026

West Midlands Police stand accused of lying in order to justify the decision to ban Maccabi Tel Aviv fans from a Europa League game against Aston Villa at Villa Park in November. The force had cited concerns over potential violence in their initial decision, but it has now emerged that members of the local Muslim community in Aston were preparing to arm themselves if Maccabi fans had come to the g...

Reform’s ‘vigilante mum’ on winning lawless London, infidelity and banning the burka 08.01.2026

The chances of London electing a Reform mayor may have seemed like a pipe dream to some, or a nightmare to others, just a few years ago. But now self-styled “vigilante mum” of seven, criminal prosecutor and basketball player Laila Cunningham could be about to give Sadiq Khan a serious run for his money. The newly-announced Reform candidate for mayor joins Camilla and Tim to talk about chasing down...

Farage attacks 'deluded' Sadiq Khan 07.01.2026

In Reform’s first press conference of the year, Nigel Farage revealed that “vigilante mum” and Reform councillor Laila Cunningham will be the party’s candidate for the London mayoral elections in 2028. Camilla and Tim reflect on whether Cunningham’s candicacy leaves Sadiq Khan vulnerable at the next election, and also ask Farage about Reform’s recent dip in the polls and The Telegraph’s “Save Our...

Starmer’s great big Brexit betrayal 06.01.2026

Not content with having surrendered British fishing rights in an extraordinary “reset deal” with the EU last year, Keir Starmer is preparing to move Britain even closer to Brussels in 2026. The Prime Minister is drawing up a new bill allowing for closer alignment with Europe's single market. Camilla and Tim are joined by Sunday Telegraph editor Allister Heath, who says Labour are “desperate if the...

Starmer's 2026 reset in chaos as Trump eyes Greenland 05.01.2026

Sir Keir Starmer is caught between a rock and a hard place. Not wanting to upset Donald Trump by criticising his removal of Nicolas Maduro in Venezuela, but also a Europhile at heart and a fan of international law and order, it’s made for a tricky start. Add to this his ever-growing domestic problems, Starmer’s promise that he’ll be PM this time next year is looking fanciful. Camilla and Tim are j...
