The coordinated bombing of major Iranian nuclear sites by American stealth bombers yesterday marked a dramatic escalation of tensions in the Middle East, amid fears that the conflict in the region could well now widen.
Iran has promised “consequences” after its most secretive nuclear site, buried deep beneath a mountain, was hit by the US. Camilla Tominey and Tim Stanley speak to the former Security Minister who served in both Afghanistan and Iraq, Tom Tugendhat, who thinks Donald Trump was right to strike at the weekend, and that we should be concerned about Iran’s nuclear capabilities.
And as Yvette Cooper proscribes Palestine Action as a terrorist organisation, Camilla explains why she thinks Yvette Cooper is right to ban the protest group.

A man best known for his role in the 2016 Brexit campaign and his controversial tenure as Boris Johnson’s chief advisor, Dominic Cummings has often been described as a political disruptor in a very traditional Westminster.
In this special episode of The Daily T, Kamal and Cleo Watson sit down with one of the most controversial and influential figures in modern British politics.
He gives us his solution to the migrant crisis, reveals whether he'd ever join up with Nigel Farage, and why he believes Britain’s political system is broken. But most importantly, how he would fix it.

As Iran and Israel trade missile strikes, Israel’s airspace has shut down, leaving tens of thousands of foreign nationals stranded, including thousands of Britons. Among them is the UK’s Chief Rabbi, Sir Ephraim Mirvis, who had travelled to Israel with his family ahead of a planned speech in Munich.
What was meant to be a visit of celebration has turned into days and nights under the shadow of war, marked by air raid sirens, closed borders and sheltering in bunkers. In this special episode of The Daily T, Camilla speaks to the Chief Rabbi in Herzliya as he share his experience on the ground, explains why the people of Israel support the war and his reflections on how the crisis has impacted the British Jewish community.

In a period of more global conflict than any time in the last 80 years, can the UK regain its ‘military might’ to safeguard democracies and demonstrate power to those who threaten it? Jeremy Hunt joins Camilla Tominey to put his pitch to General Sir Nick Carter, former Chief of the Defence Staff, and Con Coughlin, Defence and Foreign Affairs Editor at The Telegraph.
In this special Daily T series inspired by his new book, Jeremy Hunt pitches his optimism and ideas to leading experts on how the UK can change the world for the better. From mass migration to leading the AI revolution, we ask, can we be great again?

As tensions in the Middle East hit a boiling point with the crisis between Iran and Israel growing deeper every day, President Trump is reportedly weighing up if he'll join the conflict by taking military action against Iran’s nuclear facilities. So is the world on the brink of an even bigger war?
Camilla and Battle Lines' Roland Oliphant explore the global stakes, Tehran’s potential retaliation and whether a diplomatic solution is off the table.
And we ask KT McFarland, deputy national security advisor in President Trump’s first administration, what his next next move might be and what it means for the rest of us.

Starmer’s decision to U-turn on a national inquiry into the historic sexual abuse of thousands of young girls hasn't been met with the praise he might have hoped.
Earlier today, during a press conference in London by opposition leader Kemi Badenoch, victims and campaigners of the grooming gang scandal criticised Starmer’s inquiry for not going far enough.
Camilla spoke to Badenoch about why the issue is so personal to her and what the Tories will demand from the inquiry. And Tim met Marlon West, whose daughter Scarlett was groomed. He says he isn’t “reassured one little bit” that the authorities will face accountability.

After months of prevaricating, the Government has announced a national inquiry into the grooming gangs scandal. The reversal comes off the back of a review by Dame Louisa Casey.
They have claimed it isn’t a U-turn, but until now Labour figures – including Keir Starmer – had repeatedly dismissed calls for an inquiry, suggesting they were driven by the far-Right.
Maggie Oliver, the detective-turned-whistleblower who raised the alarm about child rape gangs in Rochdale, joins Camilla to react to Home Secretary Yvette Cooper’s announcement.
Listen back to our interview with grooming gang survivor Gaia Cooper.

She is simultaneously one of the most loved and hated figures in British history. But Margaret Thatcher certainly made in indelible mark on our politics.
Broadcaster Iain Dale is the author of a new book on the Iron Lady which seeks to bust some of the myths around our first female PM and introduce her to a younger audience.
Camilla and Gordon speak to Iain about his personal interactions with Thatcher – including coming dangerously close to vomiting on her shoes – and what she would have made of Brexit and Nigel Farage.

An Air India flight bound for Gatwick Airport crashed not long after takeoff on Thursday, with more than 50 British nationals on board.
Local officials are scrambling to find survivors after shocking footage emerged of the plane hitting the ground and bursting into flames in Ahmedabad, Gujarat state.
Camilla and Tim speak with aviation safety expert Professor Graham Braithwaite about what could have gone wrong; why the minutes after takeoff are so critical; and the safety record of the Boeing aircraft involved.

Chancellor Rachel Reeves has unveiled her first major spending review, pledging tens of billions in additional funding for public services, including £29 billion a year for the NHS, a £4.5 billion boost to the schools budget, and a rise in defence spending to 2.6% of GDP by 2027.
But Reeves stopped short of explaining how the government will actually fund these ambitious commitments, fuelling Tory warnings of looming tax hikes. Shadow chancellor Mel Stride accused her of having “completely lost control”, calling it a “spend now, tax later” plan that kicks tough choices down the road for Labour.
So how will the Government balance the books? And what will the spending review mean for you? Camilla is outside Parliament with Reform’s Richard Tice who says Reeves is ‘cratering the economy’ and is obsessed with his party. Plus Tory Andrew Griffith on why his party are disowning Liz Truss’s mini budget and Labour’s Chris Curtis on productivity in the NHS.

The Chancellor’s much-anticipated spending review is a day away, with extra cash expected for defence, health and education.
Are tax rises on the horizon to pay for all this? Camilla is joined by guest presenter Jacob Rees-Mogg, who says Labour doesn’t understand business and explains how Keir Starmer could survive sacking Rachel Reeves…
Plus, how two very different rows about immigration triggered riots in Ballymena, North Ireland and in LA.

Rachel Reeves finally confirmed Labour’s rumoured U-turn on the winter fuel cut for pensioners this lunchtime, completing a humiliating climb down for the Government. Nigel Farage was quick to take credit for the reversal in a speech in Wales.
Camilla and Gordon ask whether Reform’s continual outflanking of the Tories like this is only cementing their place in the public’s minds as the unofficial opposition.
Later, they speak to the MP tabling a new free speech bill after a man was prosecuted for burning a Koran. Nick Timothy says that blasphemy are being brought in through the back door to quash criticism of Islam.

It’s been a tumultuous twenty four hours on the Right, both in the UK and in the US.
Firstly, Reform chairman Zia Yusuf resigned from the party yesterday evening, claiming that “working to get a Reform government elected” was not “a good use of my time”.
Then, Donald Trump and Elon Musk’s row deepened further, with the Musk calling for the president to be impeached and claiming that Trump was was “named in the Epstein files”. Trump for his part said Musk was “wearing thin” and had “lost his mind”.
Former Conservative blogger turned Reform activist Tim Montgomerie joins Camilla and Gordon to reflect on Zia Yusuf’s departure, and speak to one of Reform’s most recent defectors from Labour, Scottish councillor Jamie McGuire, about the party’s results in the Hamilton by-election where it came third behind Labour and the SNP.
They also speak to Daily Telegraph Senior US Correspondent Rob Crilly about the escalating war of words between two of the world’s most powerful men.

Just ten minutes after we'd published today's podcast on whether Reform and Nigel Farage could achieve a stunning victory in Scotland in a by-election in Hamilton - a bombshell.
The party chairman Zia Yusuf, the businessman who Nigel Farage long-maintained had professionalised the party since his arrival last year, and attributed many of their recent successes to, had resigned.
The news came after a row during Prime Minister's Questions yesterday when Reform's newest MP, Sarah Pochin, asked Keir Starmer whether it was time to ban the burqa. Yusuf publicly criticised the intervention as "dumb" and "nothing to do with me", and announced his shock departure just over twenty four hours later with the polls still open in Hamilton.
Gordon Rayner and Tony Diver react to the news in a bonus extra Daily T, with Tony having just spoken to a Conservative MP delighted that Reform had "imploded, at last".

It’s Farage’s big test in Scotland. For years it was a political dead-end for Reform party leader - heckled in Edinburgh, chased from restaurants in Aberdeen, and repeatedly rejected at the ballot box.
But in today’s Holyrood by-election in Hamilton, Larkhall & Stonehouse, Reform UK is mounting a serious challenge. With Farage back in charge and his candidate Ross Lambie gaining ground in an SNP stronghold, could this be the moment his party makes a breakthrough north of the border?
And while the Tories remain locked in internal warfare, we speak to Reform’s most senior council leader, Linden Kemkaran, on how the party plans to cut spending with their own version of Elon Musk’s DOGE and why she wants to end taxpayer-funded English lessons for migrants.

Donald Trump's administration has renewed their attacks on the BBC over its coverage of Gaza, with press secretary Karoline Leavitt accusing the corporation taking “the word of Hamas with total truth”, an allegation the broadcaster denies.
Camilla and Gordon speak to former BBC director of television Danny Cohen, who agrees with the US President, saying that the broadcaster's coverage is "driving hate" towards Israel and Jews, and that there are "two tiers of racism at the BBC".
Elsewhere, a stark new report suggests the white British population could become a minority in the UK within the next 40 years. 73 per cent of the British population is white, but is predicted to drop to 57 per cent by 2050. Camilla and Gordon are joined by Professor Matt Goodwin, who led the research, to unpack what the data tells us about the UK’s changing demographics, why these shifts are happening, and what they could mean for the country’s future.

The case captured the world’s attention back in 2007 and has continued to pop up in headlines ever since. But the disappearance of Madeleine McCann remains a mystery.
Now German authorities have launched a fresh search in southern Portugal for evidence of what happened to the British toddler.
Police are in a race against time to charge the prime suspect, convicted paedophile Christian Brueckner, who is currently in prison in Germany on a separate conviction – but plans to disappear when he is released in September.
Camilla and Gordon look back on one of the most widely reported missing-persons cases in British history, and get an update on the new search from crime editor Martin Evans.

The Strategic Defence Review is out. Designed to be a root and branch look at all aspects of Britain’s armed forces, and billed as a “message to Moscow”, the message no doubt reaching the Kremlin is – Keir Starmer doesn’t have a clue what he’s doing.
Just as the Prime Minister appeared to be pulling back from his commitment to raise defence spending to 3 per cent of GDP, a record 1200 small boats crossed the Channel on Saturday. Can this Labour Government be trusted to defend Britain?
Elsewhere, Chief Reporter Robert Mendick fills us in on the story of Hamit Coskun, the 50 year old Turkish asylum seeker who’s been convicted of a public order offence after setting fire to a copy of the Koran.

Since Hamas's brutal terror attack on Israel in October 2023, the military campaign in Gaza has drawn both support and, lately, mounting international criticism – as civilian casualties rise, aid deliveries stall, and warnings of famine grow louder.
Israel says the war is not one of conquest, but of the survival of the Jewish state.
In this special episode, Tim Stanley sits down with Israel’s ambassador to the UK. Tzipi Hotovely says her country is still suffering the trauma of October 7th; argues the West is wrong about aid blockades in Gaza; and says that Jews no longer feel safe in the West.

There's never a dull moment in the White House when Donald Trump is the president.
Elon Musk yesterday began "offloading" from his role overseeing the 'DOGE' programme, after coming to the end of his 130 day limit as a special government employee.
But rumours abound of a falling out between Musk and Trump, with the South African-born businessman criticising the president's "One Big Beautiful Bill" in an interview yesterday, claiming that the programme of massive tax cuts would actually raise the federal deficit, undermining his work cutting government spending.
In this episode of The Daily T, Kamal Ahmed speaks to Michael Wolff - Trump biographer and author of four behind-the-scenes books about the president - to find out what really happened between Trump and Musk. They also talk about how the president will react to the shock news that his global tariffs have been blocked by a US federal court.
