Plus, senior reporter Steve Bird has the inside story from the lawless migrant c...

Kemi Badenoch has accused the Prime Minister of repeatedly bending the truth and called him a “caretaker Prime Minister”.

Camilla and Tim debunk some of the Government’s biggest porkies, explaining what the data really shows on the Chancellor's Budget, energy bills, teacher numbers, police recruitment and Brexit.

And we’re joined by George Abaraonye, the former Oxford Union president-elect who was removed from his post after ...

Six million people is greater than the population of Norway. But that’s how many British people of working age are claiming benefits instead of working, so said Kemi Badenoch at a press conference this morning about how to “get Britain working”.

With more workless households than the population of Estonia (1.4m), and one in four people now self-reporting as disabled, Camilla Tominey and Tim Stanley ask how Britain became one big...

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 ...

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...
