In this deeply personal and moving episode of The Daily T, we explore the realities of the disease with Martin Frizell, former This Morning editor and husband of journalist and broadcaster Fiona Phillips, who was diagnosed at the age of 61.

The couple, who have been married for 28 years, have ...

It might not be what the UK is best known for, but is our burgeoning tech sector the answer to buoying up the British economy? And if so, what’s standing in our way? This week, Jeremy Hunt is putting his case for the UK becoming home to the next Silicon Valley to Clare Barclay, President of Enterprise and Industry EMEA at Microsoft and Chair of the new Industrial Strategy Advisory Council, and Rohan Silva, Chair of Founders Factory...

Hundreds of migrants have crossed the Channel this morning, far outnumbering the handful who could be returned to France under Sir Keir Starmer’s new “one in, one out” migrant deal with Emmanuel Macron. 

As the French president arrived at No 10 for last-minute talks, The Telegraph watched boats packed with young men leaving Gravelines beach at dawn while French police stood by. Later, 74 men, a woman and three children were...

At today's PMQs, Labour leader Keir Starmer refused to rule out a new wealth tax.

Leader of the Opposition Kemi Badenoch demanded a cast-iron guarantee that there won’t be an autumn Budget raid on wealth, but the Prime Minister couldn’t give one, fuelling Tory claims that a “toxic cocktail” of Labour tax rises could be on the way.

Tim Stanley and Gordon Rayner are joined by Daily Telegraph Economics Reporter Emma Taggart to d...

Emmanuel Macron is in London this week, meeting the Royal Family - and Keir Starmer isn’t missing the chance to cosy up to the French President. 

The Prime Minister is hosting a summit in central London with Macron, bringing in French and British business bosses to talk trade and tech. Starmer is talking once again of strengthening ties with Europe, but is this yet another Brexit surrender deal after his ‘EU reset’ that gav...

Rachel Reeves has to find £5 billion to fill her black hole, and Tim Stanley and Cleo Watson discuss the Chancellor’s conundrum, whether they could end up raising money thr...

In the aftermath of Donald Trump’s protectionist trade tariffs, how does a post-Brexit UK capitalise on its free trade opportunities? Is it time to reconsider what our tradeable goods really are? And should we be embracing globalisation as the best route forward?

Jeremy Hunt puts his argument before Dan Hannan, Founding President of the Institute for Free Trade, and David Henig, Director of the UK Trade Policy Project at the Eur...

After crying in the Commons on Wednesday, Chancellor Rachel Reeves was back out today alongside Keir Starmer, who declared the two are “in lockstep”.

But it’s going to take more than a fresh hairdo and a jolly photo op to convince voters – and indeed the markets – that all is well inside Government.

Tim and Gordon consider whether their credibility is shot for good after the welfare fiasco; how the Chancellor will handle the ...

Labour passed its welfare reform bill on Tuesday night – but only after yet another concession to rebel MPs which make the changes almost meaningless, and wipe out £5 billion in planned savings.

Why was the process so appallingly handled? Will heads roll in Government? And why was Chancellor Rachel Reeves apparently crying during PMQs this afternoon?

Plus, how one suspended doctor is fuelling Britain’s worklessness crisis by ...

This Friday marks exactly one year since Keir Starmer was elected as Prime Minister in a landslide victory.

Despite only polling 33pc of the vote share, Labour trounced the Conservatives, came away with an enormous majority of 174, and looked set for two terms of governmental dominance. As Starmer himself put it, Labour was planning for "a decade of national renewal".

Camilla Tominey and Tim Stanley discuss how - from Lord Al...

When rapper Bob Vylan led chants of “death to the IDF” at Glastonbury Festival over the weekend, the BBC did not cut away but instead continued to broadcast the event live.

Now the PM has demanded an explanation, with the Tories’ Chris Philp even suggesting the national broadcaster itself should be prosecuted.

Israel’s deputy foreign minister Sharren Haskel tells Camilla and Tim that the BBC’s reaction has been “pathetic” and...

Is it actually possible to solve the problem of mass migration? And more specifically, that of illegal migration? It’s the policy issue that continues to sink successive governments - but Jeremy Hunt thinks he has the answer. Along with Camilla, Jeremy is joined by former Lord Chancellor and Secretary of State for Justice, Alex Chalk, and Director of the Migration Observatory, Madeleine Sumption to put his ideas to the test. 

A major new YouGov poll has revealed that Reform UK would win the most seats of any party if a general election were held today, making Nigel Farage the leading contender to become the next prime minister.

Camilla and Tim are joined by journalist and broadcaster Fraser Nelson, who is fronting a new 'Dispatches' documentary – "Will Nigel Farage Be Prime Minister?" – at 8pm tonight on Channel 4.

Fraser explains why Farage ...

Almost one year in, and are the wheels falling off for Labour?

Angela Rayner has confirmed that the vote on Labour’s hugely controversial welfare reforms will go ahead as planned next Tuesday – despite rumours that the Government were ready to pull the bill with the number of rebels ready to vote it down already exceeding 120.

Camilla and Tim ask if the PM’s days will be numbered if he loses the vote, and with Kemi Badenoch p...

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.

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...

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, clo...

In this special Daily T series inspired by his new book, ...
