| The Daily T Investigates: The Grenfell inquiry that 'delayed justice' | 30 Aug 2024 | 00:42:51 | |
It was one of the UK’s worst modern disasters - and yet seven years on, no one has been held accountable for the Grenfell fire. With the official inquiry’s final report set to be released, people are expecting answers. How did the London tower block catch fire so quickly in June 2017? Why did 72 people die? And who is to blame? A police investigation is still ongoing, meaning the bereaved and survivors of Grenfell Tower will have to wait until at least 2027 before anyone can face charges. Chief Reporter Rob Mendick has been speaking to Flora and Hisam who were directly affected by the fire, Kimia Zabihyan (Advocate and Co-ordinator of Grenfell Next of Kin), and lawyer Imran Khan to hear what they think about the inquiry and what they want to see from the upcoming report into the tragedy.

| Labour's tax raid begins - where will it end? | 29 Aug 2024 | 00:28:39 | |
Despite insisting for months pre-election that Labour wouldn't raise our taxes, chancellor Rachel Reeves now appears to be poised to do just that as Keir Starmer warns of a "painful" autumn budget. So who will get hit the hardest? Will taxes ever come down again? And how did our finances get into such a sorry state? Kamal and Camilla discuss all that and more. Plus - Labour's suggestion that they may ban smoking in outdoor spaces has provoked outrage. We look at whether there would be a health benefit and what it would mean for pubs. And the biggest question of all - why on earth are Heinz bringing out tinned carbonara?

| James Cleverly on two-tier policing, Boris and bikes | 15 Aug 2024 | 00:47:11 | |
Six candidates have lined up to lead the Conservative Party into its first period of opposition for 14 years. Over the coming months, The Daily T will be speaking to the candidates battling for the soul of the Tories - in a series we’re calling The Daily T(ory). As one of the top performers in the polls, James Cleverly is on a mission to win back defected Conservative voters after a disastrous election result that Cleverly says ‘lost them the right to be listened to’ as a party. He talks to Kamal and guest presenter Camilla Turner about how he plans to run the party he loves, his frustrations at being in opposition, and his solutions for ‘two-tier policing’ after the recent riots.

| Is going to university really worth it? | 14 Aug 2024 | 00:40:22 | |
As thousands of students get ready to receive their A-Level results, many of them will be considering heading to university. But with universities strapped for cash and offering what some would call 'Micky Mouse' degrees that don't lead to job offers, is it really worth it? Kamal and guest co-host Camilla Turner speak to Robert Halfon, Former Minister of State for Skills, Apprenticeships, and Higher Education, about universities' financial challenges and why degree apprenticeships are the way forward. Plus, Senior Foreign Correspondent Roland Oliphant on the biggest development of the year in the Ukraine-Russia war and why Zelensky has caught Putin napping.

| 'I cannot forgive Valdo Calocane's family, they took everything from me' | 13 Aug 2024 | 00:42:42 | |
NHS doctors have “blood on their hands”, say the families of the three people killed by Valdo Calocane in Nottingham last year. A report today by the health watchdog catalogues a litany of failings in treating Calocane, who was diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia. In this special episode of The Daily T, Kamal and Tim speak to Emma Webber, whose son Barnaby was one of the victims. She accuses medical professionals of “gross negligence”, condemns the BBC for its Panorama documentary on the killings, and says she cannot forgive Calocane’s family.

| Have we lost respect for the police? | 12 Aug 2024 | 00:46:04 | |
In a piece for today's Telegraph, the home secretary Yvette Cooper claims that Britain needs to rebuild respect between communities and the police in the wake of last week's rioting. Has the public actually lost respect for the police? And how do we go about restoring it? Kamal Ahmed and Tim Stanley talk to David Spencer, former Detective Chief Inspector at the Met Police, about why relations have turned this sour and how those bridges can begin to be rebuilt. And with the Olympics coming to a spectacular close in Paris last night, chief sports writer Olly Brown is on the line from France to talk boxing, breakdancing and Tom Cruise as we look back over seventeen days of incredible action and ask if Seb Coe will be the next leader of the IOC.

Over the coming months, The Daily T will be speaking to the candidates battling for the soul of the Tories - in a series we're calling The Daily T(ory). Seen as one of the more left-wing candidates in this race, shadow security minister Tom Tugendhat is known for his military service in Iraq and Afghanistan and being hawkish on Russia and China. He talks to Tim Stanley and Gordon Rayner about the ECHR, what caused the riots…and why he serves Earl Grey tea as a default.

| Is Elon Musk enabling the far-Right? | 06 Aug 2024 | 00:40:19 | |
Misinformation has spread like wildfire across social media since three children were killed in Southport last month, fuelling far-Right disorder throughout the country. But as he clashes with Sir Keir Starmer over the riots, can the likes of X owner Elon Musk be held responsible for what is published online? And is ‘de-platforming’ necessary - or an affront to free speech? Plus, Democratic candidate Kamala Harris has named her pick for vice-president: Minnesota governor Tim Walz.

Mel Stride, perhaps best known for his many broadcast appearances during the election campaign, is first out of the blocks.

He was sacked as Trump’s national security advisor in spectacular fashion in 2019, but foreign policy hawk John Bolton hasn't let that stop him from weighing in on US politics. As Kamala Harris closes the gap with Donald Trump, we asked Bolton if the Vice President has the political heft to lead the United States when global security is facing its greatest threats in decades. Plus: why Trump isn’t “fit to be president”, what he makes of the Republican VP pick JD Vance, and how he’ll be voting come November.

| David Davis: ‘I would visit Lucy Letby in prison’ | 02 Aug 2024 | 00:40:17 | |
When Lucy Letby was convicted of murdering seven newborn babies and attempting to murder seven more, she became Britain’s most prolific baby serial killer. But why are the media questioning the evidence used in the trial? The Conservative MP David Davis has put his head above the parapet on the issue and has decided to conduct his own investigation into the nurse after being contacted by numerous experts with their concerns. Davis even plans to visit Letby in prison if he is allowed. He joins us in the studio for today’s Daily T to talk us through what we know about the evidence from the trial - and the questions that he believe still need to be answered.

“It’s not protest, it’s not legitimate. It’s crime and violent disorder”. That’s how Sir Keir Starmer described the far-Right riots that popped up following the Southport stabbings. But who are the rioters and what is motivating them? Camilla and Gordon speak to a former EDL member about why people join similar groups - and why he left. Then, with six candidates lined up to lead the Conservatives, we hear from the underdog: Mel Stride.

| Liz Truss exclusive: 'I was the victim' | 30 Jul 2024 | 00:40:58 | |
Her premiership was the briefest - and one of the most memorable - in British history. Then she was ousted as an MP by the people of South West Norfolk. Now Liz Truss has come out all guns blazing, telling The Daily T she was "not responsible" for mortgages going up after her infamous mini-budget and slamming the "unaccountable" Bank of England. In an exclusive interview with Camilla and Associate Editor Gordon Rayner, the former PM also reveals why she nearly missed the moment she lost her seat in King’s Lynn and talks about visiting Balmoral just two days before the death of Queen Elizabeth.

| Should you be able to choose when you die? | 26 Jul 2024 | 00:51:39 | |
As Lord Falconer launches a private members’ bill to make assisted dying legal in the House of Lords, Kamal and Camilla catch up with him about why now is the right time to reignite one of the most controversial debates in the UK. The bill, which was first brought to the House of Lords in 2013, has been given a second chance after Dame Esther Rantzen reignited the debate. The broadcaster disclosed her plan to travel to Dignitas alone after her stage 4 lung cancer diagnosis last year. Currently, the laws in England and Wales around assisted dying mean her family could face criminal charges if they help her with euthanasia. In this Daily T Special, we speak to Dame Esther about what it means to have a ‘good death’ and why she thinks the bill should pass. Plus Paralympic legend Baroness Tanni Grey-Thompson argues the case against the bill, sharing her concerns about what it would mean for vulnerable disabled people. And Camilla and Kamal consider the Netherlands, where assisted dying is legal for people with mental health issues as well. We ask: is it a slippery slope?

| How Right is right for the Tories? | 25 Jul 2024 | 00:34:39 | |
Tom Tugendhat is the latest Tory leader candidate to declare, with a front page article for The Telegraph stating that he's 'ready to leave the ECHR' - despite saying otherwise just 2 years ago. Kamal and Camilla (fresh from an eight hour lunch with the major Conservative movers and shakers) have all the latest inside information about the state of the leadership race, and ask how the ECHR has become the new fault line on the right. Elsewhere, Ed Miliband has launched Labour's flagship new publicly owned energy company Great British Energy - but does anyone know what it is? And Prince Harry has gone to war with the tabloids (again), and Camilla asks if it's time for him to take a bit of personal responsibility instead of blaming everybody else...

| Is Nigel Farage fit to be PM? | 23 Jul 2024 | 00:43:30 | |
Nigel Farage made clear his ambition to one day be prime minister even before his Reform UK party won five seats at the general election. But does he have what it takes? And is he offering the right answers to the UK’s woes? Camilla and Kamal sit down for an exclusive interview with the Clacton MP and Reform leader to discuss going after Labour, his controversial comments about recent riots in Leeds, and if he could really make it all the way to 10 Downing Street.

| Starmer says things can only get...worse? | 27 Aug 2024 | 00:39:27 | |
It's the start of a new political season, and Keir Starmer has launched it with a downbeat speech promising a 'painful' short term future for the country with unpopular decisions ahead. The PM once more laying the blame for those decisions at the door of the Tories. But would he have been better trying to unleash a wave of optimism for a fresh new start under a new government? How long can he keep blaming the Conservatives? And does he have 'it'? Kamal and Camilla are back together to answer those questions along with Telegraph political editor Ben Riley-Smith. Plus, Ben has updated his book Blue Murder about the fall of the Conservative government and recounts conversations with Tory insiders about the real reasons Rishi Sunak called an early general election.

| ‘I shouldn’t be here’ - Trump's remarkable convention speech | 19 Jul 2024 | 00:45:24 | |
Donald Trump has made his first public speech since his attempted assassination last weekend, telling the crowds he survived “only by the grace of almighty God”. Speaking on the final night of the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, the former president's speech outlined his plans for a second term in the White House. Trump started with a message of unity, promising to bring Americans together, but soon turned to his familiar attacking style. Kamal unpacks what the speech really meant and America's reaction to it with US Editor Tony Diver. And what will a Labour government mean for you? We asked the question at our first Daily T Live event, where Camilla and Kamal hosted subscribers at Telegraph headquarters in London with Associate Editor Gordon Rayner and the financial expert and presenter of Radio 4's Money Box Paul Lewis, answering your questions.

| Is Starmer moving Britain closer to Europe? | 18 Jul 2024 | 00:45:24 | |
European leaders have descended on Blenheim Palace with Keir Starmer promising a 'reset' in British-EU relations. But what will that look like in practice? To analyse Britain’s future relationship with Europe, an arch-Remainer and a leading Brexit figure go head to head on the Daily T - former Downing Street director of communications Sir Craig Oliver and Lord Frost, Boris Johnson’s Brexit negotiator. Plus, a damning report from the Covid Inquiry has found that ministers “failed their citizens” by preparing for the wrong pandemic. The inquiry’s chair Baroness Hallett says failure to plan properly led to more deaths and greater costs to the economy, and that the UK will face “immense suffering” if it is not better prepared for the next pandemic, Camilla and Kamal react to the report with chief reporter Robert Mendick outside the Inquiry. And, should men wear ties in the House of Commons?

| The King’s Speech: All you need to know | 17 Jul 2024 | 00:43:25 | |
The new Labour government has launched its agenda with all the pomp and ceremony of the King’s Speech. They’ve gone big on promises of economic growth, house building and health reforms - with some notable exceptions but few surprises. Will it be enough to satisfy a deeply unsatisfied electorate? And can Keir Starmer deliver the bold change he was elected on? In a special episode of the Daily T from Westminster, Kamal and Camilla are joined by The Telegraph’s Political Correspondent Dominic Penna to go over all the key themes and details of the King’s Speech - plus what's missing. Also on College Green are Labour MP Barry Gardiner - who offers his advice to the Tories on life in opposition - and the Conservatives’ George Freeman, who explains why his party should "go into a dark room" for the next six months.

| Who is Trump’s VP pick JD Vance? | 16 Jul 2024 | 00:44:26 | |
Former president Donald Trump has chosen self-professed ‘hillbilly’ and former Trump critic JD Vance as his would-be VP. Vance, who was announced as his running mate at the Republican national convention in Milwaukee, recently became a staunch Trump supporter, despite previously criticising him as “America’s Hitler” and “cultural heroin”. Camilla and Kamal discuss the story behind the man on every Republican’s mind with Telegraph reporter and author Cara McGoogan who once tried to interview Vance before he slammed a car door in her face. Plus, is Britain suffering a baby drought? We’ll discuss the birth rate fall with Paul Morland, author of No-one Left: Why the World Needs More Children. And should Southgate be knighted?

| ‘I am supposed to be dead’ - Trump survives attempted assassination | 15 Jul 2024 | 00:46:56 | |
Former president Donald Trump said he is “supposed to be dead” as he described an attempt on his life as a “surreal” experience. He survived an attempted assassination after a gunman opened fire at his rally in Pennsylvania on Saturday, killing a spectator and wounding two others. Trump's right ear was grazed by a bullet in the shooting, leading to a historic image as he raised his fist in the air for a photo opportunity before being bundled away by Secret Service agents. Kamal and Camilla react to the aftermath of the events with US Editor Tony Diver in Washington and the government’s advisor on political violence and anti-extremism Lord Walney who warns assassination attempts becoming more likely. And now football isn't coming home, we'll be reacting with the highlights of the England vs Spain Euros final and discussing what went wrong for the team with our chief sports writer Olly Brown.

| Will Obama force out Biden? | 12 Jul 2024 | 00:44:36 | |
President Joe Biden made not one, but two major gaffes at NATO this week, accidently calling Ukraine’s Volodymyr Zelenskyy ‘Putin’ before correcting himself and later referring to his Vice President Kamala Harris as ‘Trump’ without realising. As former president Barack Obama and senior Democrat Nancy Pelosi were reported to have spoken about their “concerns” over Biden, could the plot to push him out of the White House succeed before the month is out? Camilla and Kamal discuss the international fall out with US editor Tony Diver. Plus Ian Acheson, former prison governor and author of Screwed – Britain's Prison Crisis and How to Escape It, joins the podcast to explain the challanges Labour face in tackling the prison crisis as thousands of prisoners are set to be released early to avoid ‘total breakdown of law and order’ - and what are the cultural sacred cows you'd like to slaughter?

Basking in the afterglow of England’s last-minute win against the Netherlands, Kamal and Camilla catch up with chief sports writer Olly Brown about what it was like in the stadium, from the giddy atmosphere to Gareth Southgate’s little celebratory dance. Plus, a chat with Southgate’s old coach at Crystal Palace, Wally Downes, about what the England manager was like as a young player. Away from football, US editor Tony Diver joins from Washington to talk about Joe Biden’s ongoing health concerns and how he got on with Keir Starmer at Nato, while Camilla dishes the goss on the latest from inside the Tory leadership fight.

| Can Labour be trusted on defence? | 10 Jul 2024 | 00:35:47 | |
Sir Keir Starmer has jetted off on his first overseas trip as Prime Minister - to the NATO summit in Washington. But it all comes as he committed to an ‘ironclad guarantee’ to raise defence spending to 2.5 per cent of GDP, but refused to say when. So how serious are Labour about protecting Britain? Kamal Ahmed and Camilla Turner speak to Telegraph Defence Editor Con Coughlin to find out if Labour’s plans for our armed forces go far enough. There’s also the small matter of the public finances being in ‘the worst state since World War 2’ according to Rachel Reeves. So how do we pay for it? Kamal and Camilla speak to Carl Emmerson from the Institute for Fiscal Studies to ask that very question.

| How unwell is Biden really? | 09 Jul 2024 | 00:39:22 | |
In a remarkable turn of events, the White House medical team has had to clarify that a neurologist who visited eight times in as many months was not there to treat President Joe Biden, following angry exchanges in a media briefing with Biden’s press secretary. Meanwhile, Mr Biden himself took matters into his own hands and unexpectedly called into a morning news show to defend his own health and insist he would remain the Democrat nominee for the presidential election. Kamal and Camilla discuss the whole sorry mess, which comes in the light of Prime Minister Keir Starmer’s first visit to Washington for the Nato summit. Plus, our Crime Editor Martin Evans and Science Editor Sarah Knapston are in the studio to discuss their story about the questions surrounding the evidence used to convict former nurse Lucy Letby.

| The Daily T Investigates: 'He paraded me around the BBC - then abused me' | 23 Aug 2024 | 00:50:08 | |
Welcome to The Daily T Investigates, a new series bringing you the best of The Telegraph’s investigative journalism from the heart of the newsroom. From Jimmy Savile to Huw Edwards, the BBC has in recent years been associated with a number of high-profile cases of paedophilia. But there have also been other cases of child abuse linked to the BBC, and now the organisation is facing fresh questions about whether it has done enough to protect children by properly vetting people coming into its offices or working on its behalf. In this special episode of The Daily T hosted by head of investigations Claire Newell, we reveal a previously untold story of child sexual abuse at the hands of someone working for the organisation and expose how the BBC contracted a convicted paedophile as a chauffeur for 30 years. A warning that some listeners may find some of the reporting upsetting.

| What now for France as right and left go to war? | 08 Jul 2024 | 00:41:11 | |
In a shock result, the second round of French elections delivered a victory of sorts to the left-wing New Popular Front alliance, pushing Marine le Pen’s National Rally into third place behind the centrists. But with no group winning a majority in parliament, President Emmanual Macron now faces some difficult choices. To discuss what it means for France, Europe and the UK’s fledgling government, Kamal and Camilla are joined in the studio by French journalist Charlotte Kan and The Telegraph’s resident Parisian Adelie Pojzman-Pontay. Plus, how has Prime Minister Keir Starmer fared in his first few days in government? The new Cabinet is off to a flying start, but Kamal and Camilla notice a familiar name that keeps cropping up: Tony Blair.

| Labour in power and Iain Duncan Smith on Farage | 05 Jul 2024 | 00:46:32 | |
It’s official: we have a new prime minister. When Sir Keir Starmer spoke on the steps of No 10 Downing Street he became just the seventh ever Labour politician to lead the country - but the challenges he is facing are vast. Kamal and Camilla take a look at the issues at the top of his in-tray, from a sluggish economy to immigration concerns. Plus with a low vote share and a historic number of seats won by the Lib Dems, Reform, the Greens and independent pro-Palestine candidates, they ask whether Labour can really be the “government of service” Starmer wants them to be? Plus, Iain Duncan Smith joins Kamal and Camilla in the studio to discuss how he held on to his London seat and what next for the Tories as they reel from one of their worst electoral losses ever.

After six long weeks, it's the final day of campaigning in the general election! The Tories have, at the very last minute, deployed Boris Johnson at a rally in London. Is he an asset to Rishi Sunak’s campaign, or a reminder of the very reason they’re on the verge of electoral oblivion? Kamal is joined in this episode by the Sunday Telegraph’s political editor Camilla Turner to pour over Johnson’s surprise intervention and ask whether it’ll make any difference.

| How Le Pen humiliated Macron | 01 Jul 2024 | 00:33:20 | |
Mon Dieu. Emmanuel Macron's gamble to call a snap general election after poor results in the European elections last month looks to have backfired, with Marine Le Pen's far-right National Rally trouncing the President's centrist coalition in the first round of voting in France. Kamal and Camilla talk to The Telegraph's Paris Correspondent Henry Samuel to find out what it means ahead of the final round of voting at the weekend. With France heading for uncharted territory, could it end in a chaotic parliamentary deadlock? Plus, England scraped into the quarter finals of the Euros after a dramatic comeback against Slovakia.

Joe Biden and Donald Trump went head to head for the first time in this US election campaign last night and it could not have been more catastrophic for the incumbent president, with a series of rambling and incoherent answers and, at one point, a total freeze. Kamal and Camilla break down the highlights and - perhaps more accurately - lowllights of a remarkable debate, and talk to US Editor Tony Diver who was in the 'spin room' in Atlanta getting all the reaction from the Republican and Democrat camps. Plus, Telegraph Political Editor Ben Riley-Smith joins them in the studio to chat about his interview with Rishi Sunak, during which the Prime Minister accused Reform leader Nigel Farage of being a Putin appeaser. They also reflect on Sunak's powerful comments today after a Reform UK canvasser used a racist term to describe him, with the Prime Minster saying that Farage has 'questions to answer'.

He's left it very late, but Rishi Sunak turned in probably his best performance of the general election in their final debate last night. But will it be enough to derail the predicted Labour landslide? And are voters even listening to him any more? Kamal and Camilla draw parallels between this election and the campaigns in 1992 and 1997 and try to work out what sort of result we're heading towards next week. Plus, Kamal was in the post-debate 'spin room' and caught up with big beasts on both sides - Labour's Darren Jones as well as Conservatives David Davis and Victoria Atkins.

Reform UK leader Nigel Farage has called small boat crossings a “national security emergency” and said Britain should cut off funding to France if it keeps escorting migrant vessels. But is it even possible to 'stop the boats'? Kamal and Camilla are joined by The Telegraph’s Home Affairs Editor Charles Hymas, who was on a catamaran on the Channel with Farage as he launched his party’s plan to address small boat crossings.

For this special episode of The Daily T, Kamal and Camilla do a deep dive into one of the thorniest issues in politics: immigration. How much is too much? Are immigrants the reason our NHS is barely able to cope and there aren't enough houses? Or are they a scapegoat for other problems? Are immigrants essential for economic growth and give more to British culture than they take? To answer all these questions and more, Kamal and Camilla are joined by Reform UK's chairman Richard Tice and by Jonathan Portes, professor of economics and public policy at the School of Politics & Economics of King's College, London and a senior fellow at UK in a Changing Europe. They also unveil some exclusive Savanta polling on public views about immigration, plus share some readers' letters on the issue.
