The Daily T

The BBC is facing mounting accusations that it has failed to report impartially on transgender issues. 

A formal complaint has been sent to Ofcom by the Bayswater Support Group, which represents hundreds of parents who believe the broadcaster has promoted one-sided coverage of sex and gender. The group accuses senior editors of failing to reflect dissenting views, glossing over safeguarding concerns, and presenting gender i...

On today’s edition of The Daily T, Camilla Tominey is joined in the studio by former Conservative MP Sir Jacob Rees-Mogg.

Sir Jacob has his say on Labour cancelling mayoral elections for next year, in areas that Telegraph data analysis says Reform are favourites to win.

He also reflects on the rumours of Nigel Farage and Kemi Badenoch agreeing a Reform-Conservative pact before the next election.

We want to hear from you! ...

Is the Royal family value for money, or are they ripping us off? The Parliamentary public affairs committee announced that it will hold an inquiry into the properties and land owned by the monarchy, following the responses it received to questions about Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor’s peppercorn rent at Royal Lodge. As if that wasn’t enough, David Dimbleby has them in his sights in a new three-part BBC documentary titled “What’s the M...

Sir John Redwood, the former Conservative MP for Wokingham, treasury adviser to Margaret Thatcher and Welsh Secretary under John Major, has discovered a “borrowing bomb” in the Budget that no one has noticed.

Rachel Reeves reminded us at the despatch box last week that her choice was “not austerity; not reckless borrowing; but cutting the debt”, going on to say that “I said I would cut debt and borrowing, and I meant it”.

How...

Rachel Reeves’s shambolic autumn Budget unravelled at pace over the weekend, after accusations that she lied to the public about the need for higher taxes, and in fact had more fiscal headroom than she indicated.

Camilla Tominey and Tim Stanley react to Keir Starmer’s press conference, where he said he and the Chancellor “did not mislead” the public about the state of the nation’s finances and question whether, if Rachel Reeves ...

With Megxit, the death of Queen Elizabeth II, two cancer diagnoses, and now the ejection of Prince Andrew, there has been something of a Royal reckoning in recent years.

So is the monarchy losing its grip - and the public’s support? Camilla is joined by seasoned Royal reporter Robert Jobson to discuss the state of the modern monarchy.

He reveals the details of the late Queen’s angry phone call with Prince Harry over money; hi...

It’s the morning after the economic night before and the response to Rachel Reeves’s Autumn Budget has been emphatically negative.

On this edition of The Daily T, Camilla Tominey and Tim Stanley reflect on the Chancellor refusing to apologise for breaking Labour’s pledge not to raise tax, the chairman of the OBR offering to resign after the Budget was leaked and some of the commentary criticising Kemi Badenoch’s response in the ...

The Budget has finally been delivered and it was every bit as horrible as feared.

Rachel Reeves has gone on a £30bn tax raid, punishing savers and landlords, all so that she can afford to cut the two-child benefit cap in a desperate bid to shore up the support from her back benches.

Camilla and Tim react to the day’s events outside Parliament with Conservative shadow chancellor Sir Mel Stride, Reform UK’s Danny Kruger and La...

With just 24 hours until the Autumn Budget, desperation appears to have set in, with the Chancellor meeting Labour MPs in a last-ditch attempt to get the party behind her tax-raising plans.

Camilla and Tim look at why it’s too little, too late for Rachel Reeves; how fiscal drag means her tax raids will hit middle earners; and which Cabinet members will be caught up in Labour’s mansion tax.

Plus, Tim went to watch Samir Shah’s...

The Chancellor is set to raise taxes in her autumn Budget – again – despite Labour promising not to, and it’s all to fund £15bn in extra benefits.

Rachel Reeves is expected to end the two-child benefit cap, just the latest reversal on a policy unpopular with Labour backbenchers.

Camilla and Tim are joined by Telegraph political editor Ben Riley-Smith to explain the thinking inside the Treasury during one of the most chaotic l...

In a Daily T exclusive, Camilla and Tim speak to Princess Diana’s long-time former private secretary, Patrick Jephson.

In 1995 the BBC journalist Martin Bashir convinced Diana that the trusted adviser was spying on her, in order to secure the now infamous Panorama interview. Jepshon left his role soon after and the Princess went to her grave believing he had betrayed her.

Thirty years on, Jephson tells The Daily T about his r...

Straitjacketed by a manifesto that promised not to raise income tax, National Insurance or VAT on “working people” – and stymied by an exodus of people wealthy enough to seek financial safety elsewhere – the Labour party is scrambling to raise enough revenue to fill a £20bn fiscal black hole.

As the 2025 autumn Budget draws ever closer, there is increasing apprehension as to whether Chancellor Rachel Reeves is going to employ a ...

A stark new review has found that Britain is not ready for war, warning landing on the same morning the Government unveiled fresh plans to boost the nation’s defences.

This morning, Defence Secretary John Healey unveiled a major £1.5bn investment in 13 new UK munitions factories, a bid to ramp up Britain’s defence industry as global threats escalate. 

The announcement came as Healey revealed that a Russian intelligence-gathe...

Reform UK has set out its plans to plug a £25bn hole in the economy, and the policies essentially amount to one thing: making it more expensive to be a foreigner in Britain.

But the press conference got a bit frosty when Camilla asked Nigel Farage who his pick for chancellor would be.

Meanwhile, in another central London conference centre, the Conservatives were announcing...not very much at all. But things got interesting wh...

Shabana Mahmood has announced a major asylum crackdown, in a clear attempt to pacify the Right of Labour and the country at large.

The Home Secretary’s plans, based on a model successfully implemented in Denmark, include a 20-year wait for refugees to apply for indefinite leave to remain, reviews of refugees status every 30 months, and legislation that will promote British law over the ECHR.

Camilla and Tim ask whether a poli...

It’s the morning after the scoop before, and the end of a bad week for the BBC.

After The Daily T revealed how Newsnight also doctored Donald Trump’s January 6th speech, and were called out live on air, Tim and Camilla go inside the BBC’s own response to the saga. Hint: it suggests the corporation is as deluded as ever.

Then, it’s a scandal which is arguably more damning than phone hacking. We hear from Andy Webb, the author ...

A Daily T investigation has uncovered another, earlier example of the BBC doctoring footage of Trump’s January 6th speech. Not only that, but it was called out live on air by a Newsnight contributor – and nothing was done.

This comes after the resignation of top BBC officials in the wake of a Telegraph story detailing how a 2024 Panorama documentary spliced footage of the president in a way that suggested he was encouraging...

Westminster was thrown into chaos last night after Downing Street rushed to defend Sir Keir Starmer’s leadership amidst whispers of 'coup' to oust the leader. 

Starmer’s allies are pointing the finger at two of his top ministers, Health Secretary Wes Streeting and Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood, accusing them of “leadership manoeuvres”. But Streeting flat out denied he had any such plans during his media rounds, saying he w...

President Donald Trump has gone to war with the BBC - demanding one billion dollars unless the broadcaster apologises for their Panorama investigation by Friday. 

The US president is accusing the public broadcaster of a “reckless disregard for the truth” over the selective editing of Mr Trump’s speech on the day of the Capitol Hill riot. 

Despite the BBC’s current turmoil, outgoing director general Tim Davie has told hi...
