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 in government; why she admires Donald Trump; and, with Keir Starmer in Beijing this week, how “Brit...

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 Denton in order to leave Reform a clear path. Elsewhere, Rees-Mogg makes the case for Shamima Begum to be...

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 Starmer’s “cosying up to China” instead of aligning more closely with Donald Trump. He also explains...

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 impossible. Later, Keir Starmer has risked starting a Labour civil war after blocking Manchester mayor Andy...

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 from his pubs. They also speak to celebrity chef, restauranteur and publican Tom Kerridge, who pleads w...

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" diplomacy over Greenland, and why the Board of Peace won’t work. Plus, is Keir Starmer’s worst night...

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 “destroyed itself”. Back home, Sir Keir Starmer showed unexpected steel at PMQs, saying he will not yield ...

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 himself to be bullied by Trump, how today’s approving of plans for the controversial Chinese super-embassy...

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 EU happy, why Trump is really just after territory, and the future of the “special relationship”.

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 country despite agreeing to be deported. The case shows the farcical chaos of the British asylum system...

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 plotting a defection to Reform UK. Camilla and Tim dissect the events of a wild day in Westminster as th...

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 that the force used AI-generate content to justify its Maccabi Tel Aviv football fan ban.

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 Government could ban X, after its AI tool ‘Grok’ began creating sexual “deepfakes”. Camilla reveals...

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 protests in Iran that could topple the regime. He says Donald Trump’s actions in Venezuela have accelerat...

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 game. Jewish broadcaster and Aston Villa fan Jonny Gould tells Camilla and Tim that Craig Guildford, ...

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 her children’s muggers, her plans for an “all-out war” on crime in the capital, and taking on the U...

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 Pubs” campaign.

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 they think rejoining will get them votes” as the EU is “in catastrophic decline”.

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 joined by John Bolton, Trump’s former national security adviser, to look at why the US deposed Maduro...
