Those are the damning words of world-renowned neonatologist Dr Shoo Lee, one of a panel of experts questioning the evidence used against convicted child-killer Lucy Letby. The seven babies were not murdered, they concluded from extensive new evidence, but died either from natural causes or poor medical care.

President Trump looks to have started an all-out trade war with his closest neighbours, after sticking a 25pc tariff on imports from Canada and Mexico. He’s also put a 10pc levy on Chinese goods, and said he “absolutely” intends to impose tariffs on the European Union as well. The intentions of these protectionist policies? To crack down on illegal immigration and the cross-border supply of opioids like fentanyl, as well as the prioritising of American industry. But will tariffs actually have th...

This week marks five years since Britain formally left the European Union, after four years and three Prime Ministers worth of post-referendum negotiations. But as the anniversary comes around, so too does new polling from YouGov, revealing that only 11% of Brits see Brexit as more of a success than a failure, and that 55% say the UK was wrong to vote to leave the EU in the first place. Faced with a Brexit that doesn't seem to be delivering for those who voted either for or against it, Camilla a...

A leaked Home Office review has recommended that the Government change its approach to extremism, focusing less on "ideologies of concern" and more on "behaviours", including extreme misogyny and environmental extremism. The review also pushes for the police to record more non-crime hate incidents in the vein of the thought policing that happened to our Telegraph colleague Allison Pearson. Kamal and Camilla ask what on earth is going on at the basket case that is the Home Office, and explain why...

In her first major speech of the year, the Conservative leader has owned up to Tory mistakes of the past and said immigrants who “don’t want to integrate into British culture…shouldn’t be here”. Kemi Badenoch has also pocketed a win over grooming gangs, as the Government was pressured into calling a series of new inquiries. But - Kamal and Camilla ask - is anyone actually listening to the Tories, or is Reform making all the noise? And does Britain have the patience to let Badenoch rebuild the pa...

Mediators have said an agreement - to release Israeli hostages from Gaza and eventually end the fighting between Israel and Hamas - is “very close”.
