Manchester United co-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe has been forced to apologise for describing the UK as “colonised by immigrants,” after Sir Keir Starmer described his words as “offensive and wrong”.

Sir Keir Starmer is facing yet another crisis over his poor judgment after it emerged that he nominated his former spin doctor, linked to the convicted paedophile Sean Morton, to the House of Lords. Kemi Badenoch skewered the Prime Minister in the Commons over Lord Doyle’s appointment, accusing him of “stuffing Government with hypocrites and paedophile apologists”.

Sir Keir Starmer has pulled his premiership back from the brink. The PM secured the support of most of his party with an uncharacteristic show of passion at a meeting of Labour MPs on Monday night – but, with local elections imminent, his position is far from secure. Camilla and Tim are joined by the Labour MP and Starmer ally Karl Turner, who says the “terribly cautious” PM needs to be “more normal” and focus on delivery. Plus, King Charles has thrown his brother under a Royal carriage with a s...

Keir Starmer was probably hoping today would be another chance to reset his premiership, following the departure this weekend of Morgan McSweeney, his chief of staff. Instead he's been hit first by the departure of Tim Allan, his director of communications, and then by Anas Sarwar, the leader of Labour in Scotland, who became the most senior figure from his party to urge the PM to resign. Camilla and Tim speak to Lee Cain, former director of communications to Boris Johnson, to find out what it i...

Keir Starmer’s visit to Beijing was meant to signal a reset in Britain’s relationship with China. Instead, it has sparked fresh questions about how far the UK should go in courting a global superpower accused of sliding back towards authoritarian rule. On today’s Daily T , Camilla and Tim speak to bestselling author Jung Chang, whose latest book Fly, Wild Swans traces China’s path from the horrors of Mao’s Cultural Revolution to the Xi Jinping era. Chang argues that Western leaders are ignoring ...

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 to Letby’s lawyer, who tells Camilla Tominey he is convinced she is innocent – and reveals her stat...

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.

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 the wolves, saying Mandelson had “lied repeatedly to his team, had “betrayed” his country with the ap...

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.

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 financier. They also question why Keir Starmer ever appointed him as US ambassador. Later, royal biographer...

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-olds in a case of mistaken identity. Ronan’s mother, Pooja Kanda, joins us to discuss the campaign tha...

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.

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”.

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.

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...

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.

Reform's latest defector is former Tory Chancellor Nadhim Zahawi.

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.
