The Daily T

In Thursday’s episode of The Daily T, Tim Stanley and Sir Jacob Rees-Mogg are joined by Allister Heath, the Editor of The Sunday Telegraph, to discuss John Healey’s maiden Budget. Allister described it as a “nothing-burger” of a Budget and said that “a lot of things will get worse” over the next two years as a result of the Chancellor’s measures. The three weighed up the prospect of the nation going to the polls in the near future – despite the PM’s denials – with yesterday’s Budget seeming to be a holding operation. Allister said Andy Burnham “wants to go down in history” like other Labour prime ministers and would need a mandate to implement many of the policies he wants to introduce.

In Wednesday’s episode of The Daily T, Tim Stanley and Jacob Rees-Mogg are joined by financial journalist and host of the Investing Unlocked podcast Georgie Frost to react to John Healey’s maiden Budget as Chancellor. Speaking immediately after the Chancellor’s speech, Tim welcomed some of the measures, such as the winter fuel payment, but criticised how Mr Healey was funding it, saying that the increased taxes on landlords and banks “are essentially a raid on the asset-owning middle classes”. On the issue of military spending, Jacob was critical, saying: “He’s got no more on defence than there was when he resigned. And yet he’s staying in office and in charge of it. That’s a pretty awkward position for him to be in.” The Telegraph is the Publisher Podcast Awards' Podcast Publisher of the Year 2026 ► Watch back our Daily T’s Autumn Budget YouTube livestream here. ► Get more exclusive Daily T content from The Daily T+ membership!

In Tuesday’s episode of The Daily T, Tim Stanley and Jacob Rees-Mogg are joined by Sir Ben Wallace, the former Tory defence secretary. Sir Ben has accused the Government of falsifying spending on the defence budget in order to appear closer to reaching the pledged 3 per cent of GDP by 2030. He criticised the Government for taking only a superficial step towards the target and falling behind its European allies. He said: “Germany, Poland, the Baltics, Scandinavians, have put their money where their mouth is. Denmark even cancelled a public holiday to increase tax revenues to fund it. We have done press releases.” Tim and Jacob also discuss Andy Burnham’s first 100 days in office, exploring the difficulties associated with coming in in mid-term. They explore the changes he has made and the promises he has made for the future – and whether a snap election could be on the horizon.

On Monday’s episode of The Daily T, Tim Stanley and Jacob Rees-Mogg are joined by Lucie Kon, an award-winning Jewish documentary-maker who won a £400,000 payout from the BBC over claims she was the victim of anti-Semitism and was bullied out of the broadcaster.

On Friday’s episode of The Daily T, Camilla Tominey and Tim Stanley are joined by Sir Jeremy Hunt and Lord Lamont of Lerwick to discuss John Healey’s upcoming Budget. The two former chancellors of the exchequer examine why Labour’s likely approach of raising taxes on banks and businesses could stifle economic growth, and why reducing the national debt is so important. Sir Jeremy is critical of Labour’s public spending and argues that reform is urgently needed. “I think we should have a new rule, a fiscal rule, that outside emergencies governments will never increase public spending by faster than the growth rate of the economy,” he says. The two former chancellors also answer a question Tim was desperate to ask: did they drink alcohol while delivering their Budget speeches at the despatch box? ► Get more exclusive Daily T content from The Daily T+ membership!

In Thursday’s episode of The Daily T, Camilla Tominey and Tim Stanley are joined by Reform UK’s Danny Kruger to discuss the party’s decision to report ITV to the police over its undercover sting. The MP for East Wiltshire claims that “the law has been flagrantly broken, as in this case, outrageous deception by ITV, including breaking electoral law, pretending to be canvassers”. Kruger, Reform UK’s head of policy, who is helping prepare the party for government, also claimed that the party was facing a concerted campaign against it from the press, trade unions and even the House of Lords. He called on Conservatives and their voters to back Reform as the only realistic way for the Right to win at the next general election. Amid a series of high-profile scandals and expulsions, Camilla asked Kruger whether the greatest threat to Reform’s bid for government came from within the party itself. An ITV spokesman said: “ITV stands by its journalism. The programme Undercover: A Year In Reform was produced in compliance with the Ofcom Broadcasting Code, relevant laws, and its broadcast is in the public interest. “All journalists were instructed to operate within this framework, and did so under the supervision of the programme’s producers. Should the police get in touch, we would fully cooperate.” The Telegraph is the Publisher Podcast Awards' Podcast Publisher of the Year 2026 ► Get more exclusive Daily T content from The Daily T+ membership!

In today’s episode of The Daily T, Camilla Tominey and Tim Stanley discuss Andy Burnham’s “gaffe-laden” return to Prime Minister’s Questions after the party conferences. They look at how Burnham doubled-down on his claims of Russian interference in the 2016 Brexit referendum vote after Kemi Badenoch, the Conservative leader, challenged him about putting “his foot in his mouth”. They discuss how his firm stance against a deal with the Green Party over its “Zionism is racism” motion might lead to a rowback from the PM at a general election. They also dissect Burnham’s more sympathetic exchange with Nigel Farage, the Reform UK leader.

The Prime Minister has told MPs in Parliament that it is his “duty” to pursue a closer relationship with the EU and claimed in an interview that Russia interfered with the referendum in 2016.

In today’s episode of The Daily T, Camilla Tominey and Tim Stanley speak to Andrew Griffith, the shadow chancellor, from the Conservative Party conference. Camilla and Tim challenge Griffith on the party’s pledges to cut welfare and scrap inheritance tax on family homes, with Tim asking how he would respond to a claim that he was “repeating Liz Truss’s mistake of promising something that country is not in a position to fiscally underwrite”. The shadow chancellor defends his party’s policies, saying they have been “forensically set out” and are not a repeat of the Truss mini-Budget. He claims that “balancing the books runs in [his] DNA” and clarifies that his aim to abolish a tax in every Budget under a Conservative government is an ambition, not a promise. Griffith also denies that the Conservatives have regained a reputation as “the nasty party”, and criticises Labour’s “hope handout” strategy when it comes to unemployment and benefits. ► Get more exclusive Daily T content from The Daily T+ membership!

They discuss how much damage last week’s “Zionism is Racism” motion had done to the party and Mr Polanski’s absence has undermined his reputation and standing within the party. Tim considers whether despite defeat in the by-election the result cements the Green Party as the Labour alternative for Left-wing voters. They also discuss whether this result energises the Labour Party and that Polanski remaining in charge is a boost for Andy Burnham, and could lead to the Prime Minister calling an early general election. ► Get more exclusive Daily T content from The Daily T+ membership!

In today’s episode of The Daily T from the final day of the Conservative Party conference, Camilla Tominey and Tim Stanley give their reaction to party leader Kemi Badenoch’s powerful and punchy speech to delegates and supporters. Camilla believes it displayed a more human side to the Tory leader as she discussed race, identity politics, defectors of her own party to Reform UK as well as her policy announcement to scrap inheritance tax on family homes. Camilla and Tim compare Badenoch’s closing address to Prime Minister Andy Burnham’s speech at last week’s Labour party conference, and the differences in tone and policy gaps in the PM’s rousing speech. Within their analysis, Camilla and Tim also reference The Telegraph’s exclusive story on the conclusion of Reform UK’s internal investigation, clearing senior party figures of any law-breaking after an undercover investigation by Channel 4 journalists. ► Get more exclusive Daily T content from The Daily T+ membership!

They look at where the Tories stand in the polls and discuss what it needs to do to claim back its position as the opposition party in the eyes of the public.

On the day that hundreds of prisoners are released early and the UK’s “one in, one out” migrant deal with France ends, The Daily T examines the state of the nation under Andy Burnham. Camilla Tominey and Tim Stanley discuss the paradox of a Prime Minister who wants more devolution while pushing for a referendum on rejoining the EU and following the rules set by Brussels. Tim suggests Mr Burnham’s push for proportional representation could be to the detriment of the Labour Party, saying it is more important to him to have a permanent coalition centre-Left establishment in Britain than it is for Labour to win majorities. Camilla and Tim also note the shift in Labour’s policy regarding Israel and Palestine marked by the absence of Ed Miliband, the Foreign Secretary, from the Labour Friends of Israel event and the lack of comment from the Prime Minister so far on the Flydubai hijacking attempt. ► Subscribe to our new Daily T YouTube channel: youtube.com/@dailytpodcast ► Get more exclusive Daily T content from The Daily T+ membership!

In Wednesday’s episode of The Daily T, Camilla Tominey and Tim Stanley are joined by Liz Truss, the former prime minister. They discuss Andy Burnham’s plans for a national care service and whether the changes to the triple lock will be able to fully fund them. Ms Truss is highly critical of the Bank of England and the Office for Budget Responsibility, claiming they are not independent, adding that “the state has been captured by the progressives”. Tim asks Ms Truss whether she is embarrassed to be the example the Left gives for why not to vote for the Right, and whether she still believes she was right about her mini-Budget. Ms Truss responds: “They attack me because I’m right, they wouldn’t if I was irrelevant.” ► Subscribe to our new Daily T YouTube channel: youtube.com/@dailytpodcast ► Get more exclusive Daily T content from The Daily T+ membership!
