Lord Frost vs Tim Stanley: How the Right is getting climate change wrong
With wildfires raging across Europe on today’s episode of The Daily T, Tim Stanley is joined by Lord Frost, unaffiliated peer and senior fellow at the Institute of Economic Affairs, to unpack the deep political fractures surrounding climate change, rising temperatures, and the future of net zero. After intense backlash to his recent column advocating for a conservative embrace of the renewables revolution, Tim challenges the Right’s reluctance to confront environmental realities – from severe UK droughts to the growing toll on rural farming communities. Tim and David explore the economic viability of wind and solar compared to nuclear power, the perils of ideological “catastrophism,” and whether the key to handling extreme weather lies in central planning or the wealth and innovation of a free-market economy.

On home turf, Mr Farage discusses everything from offshore wind turbines and seaside economies to the rising security threats facing politicians on the Right.

The biggest mistake of Prince Harry’s life has just cost him £18 million
In this episode of The Daily T, Tim Stanley and Poppy Coburn are joined by Associate Editor Gordon Rayner and Royal Editor Hannah Furness to discuss the latest in Prince Harry’s legal costs. The Duke of Sussex and his co-claimants face a potential legal bill of more than £18m after their “speculative” High Court privacy claim against the Daily Mail’s publisher was wholly dismissed. Tim and Poppy also react to Andy Burnham’s speech addressing Britain’s social care crisis, as he set out his ambition to create a national care service based on the NHS. But as The Telegraph revealed, a new income tax is being considered among the options to fund this plan, so is the new Prime Minister about to U-turn on a Labour manifesto pledge already?

Nigel Farage vs Zack Polanski: Political jokes are not police matters

Sinister and uncanny: Burnham is the ‘TikTok PM’ we can see right through
In this episode of The Daily T, Tim Stanley and Poppy Coburn dissect the early days of Andy Burnham’s premiership. From his nervous media appearances and regional presentation style to his controversial split-week at “Number 10 North” in Manchester, they ask whether “Burnhamism” represents genuine reform or simply continuity Keir Starmer in a new outfit. In the second half of the show, Tim and Poppy look at the impending crackdown on youth sickness benefits as the PM seeks out the billions he intends to spend on social care and defence. They evaluate the proposed Dutch-inspired scheme to encourage “Neets” into work, and examine whether government policy or a broader culture of “arrested development” is truly to blame.≠ We want to hear from you!

‘Her conviction is unsafe’: The case for freeing Lucy Letby
On today’s episode of The Daily T, Camilla Tominey and Tim Stanley sit down with investigative author Christopher Morris to discuss his new book, Reasonable Doubt: Examining the Case of Lucy Letby. With questions continuing to mount regarding the integrity of the neonatal nurse’s 2023 conviction, Morris presents a forensic re-examination of one of the most controversial cases in modern Britain. Challenging the medical and statistical evidence presented at trial, he details the systemic failures at the Countess of Chester Hospital. These include chronic understaffing and poor clinical oversight that he argues were overlooked in favour of a “killer nurse” narrative. The episode explores why independent experts are now calling for a dispassionate review, the risks of institutional “group think” and what this case reveals about the British legal system’s ability to handle complex, expert-driven medical testimony.

Watch your back, Burnham: Trump's nemesis John Bolton on how to handle POTUS
On Friday’s episode of The Daily T, Camilla Tominey sits down with John Bolton, the former US national security adviser, to examine the state of the UK-US “special relationship” following Andy Burnham’s sudden arrival as Prime Minister. Mr Bolton discusses the US reaction to the appointment of Ed Miliband as Foreign Secretary, and predicts how the Prime Minister will navigate Donald Trump’s transactional foreign policy. Camilla and Mr Bolton explore friction points ranging from lingering tensions over Middle East diplomacy to the Chagos Islands. They discuss the growing panic within the Republican Party before the upcoming US midterm elections, the looming threat of congressional investigations, and how the UK government should navigate a volatile, unscripted second Trump administration.

The late Queen’s mistake that William and Kate will not repeat
In today’s episode of The Daily T, Camilla Tominey, Victoria Ward, and India McTaggart look back on 13 years since the “Great Kate Wait” to mark Prince George’s milestone 13th birthday and his upcoming transition to Eton College. With the second in line to the throne stepping into his teenage years, the team explores how the Prince and Princess of Wales are reshaping modern royal parenting. Grounded in a hands-on, “Middleton-esque” approach that prioritises immediate family over the traditional family firm, the Prince and Princess have intentionally minimised live-in staff and shielded their children from the public eye. The episode examines the unique generational pressures facing George compared to previous heirs, how his quiet public demeanour contrasts with life behind closed doors, and why his preparation for the crown carries a far greater sense of immediacy than it did for his father.

Burnham's first 48 hours as PM implode: Hot mic prison release joke sparks fury
On Wednesday’s episode of The Daily T, Camilla Tominey and Tim Stanley discuss the hot mic blunder in which Shabana Mahmood, the Home Secretary, and Wes Streeting, the Defence Secretary, were caught on camera joking about early prison releases. The timing of the incident could not have been worse for Andy Burnham, the new Prime Minister, on day three of his premiership. Anger over the Cabinet members’ poorly placed joke also came within hours of The Telegraph’s report that two of Pc Andrew Harper’s killers were amongst the criminals set to be freed under Labour’s plans to tackle prison overcrowding. As the new PM vows to review the early prisoner release policy, Camilla and Tim examine the fundamental flaws in Labour’s approach to justice. They also discuss how Mr Burnham’s regime can better handle communications crises with Guto Harri, Downing Street’s former head of communications under Boris Johnson. We want to hear from you!

Same faces, same failures: Burnham’s reshuffle solves nothing
On Tuesday’s episode of The Daily T, Camilla and Tim dissect Andy Burnham’s new Cabinet. Dubbing it a “desperate game of musical chairs”, they break down a reshuffled front bench which looks oddly familiar to the last one. They analyse the significance of John Healey’s appointment as Chancellor, the return of Angela Rayner and the reaction to Wes Streeting’s appointment as Defence Secretary. Elsewhere, Camilla and Tim have an impromptu discussion with comedy legend Griff Rhys Jones about Burnham’s Cabinet reset, the current political climate and Network Rail’s planned redevelopment of Liverpool Street Station in London – to which Jones strongly objects.
