The Daily T

After Andy Burnham’s comprehensive win in the Makerfield by-election, Camilla and Tim are joined by Daily Telegraph political editor Tony Diver and pollster Scarlett Maguire to reflect on how soon he could challenge Sir Keir Starmer for the leadership, how disastrous the result was for Nigel Farage and Reform, and whether the Conservatives’ win in Aberdeen South points to a renaissance for the party under Kemi Badenoch.

As the polls open in the Makerfield by-election, Camilla Tominey and Tim Stanley speak to Reform UK’s Nigel Farage, who is already publicly managing expectations. Farage claims Reform UK would storm to victory had the Labour Party put forward any other candidate, but fears local loyalty to Andy Burnham might cost them victory. If Reform loses, Farage warns the public will “never forgive” Rupert Lowe and Restore Britain Party for splitting the vote on the right.

Elsewhere, Camilla and Tim discuss England’s 4-2 win in their first World Cup match against Croatia, and expose why only two out of 98 of Andy Burnham’s by-election campaign adverts actually mention Labour at all.

Ahead of England’s opening World Cup match against Croatia, Camilla Tominey discusses Thomas Tuchel’s squad with England legend Harry Redknapp, who gives his honest take on whether a foreign manager like Tuchel should lead the national team, why he would take Harry Kane over Lionel Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo and Luka Modric, and slams the “idiotic” local council trying to ban flags from being flown close to roads.

Elsewhere, Camilla and Tim Stanley discuss this week’s Deputy Prime Minister’s Questions with David Lammy facing Claire Coutinho, and whether Keir Starmer is getting more deluded by the day for offering Andy Burnham a job in his Cabinet.

Camilla and Tim are joined by Reform UK’s London mayoral candidate Laila Cunningham, who discusses the racist abuse and death threats she has received as a Muslim woman from Restore supporters, as well as the impact Rupert Lowe’s party is having on Reform’s chances in the Makerfield by-election.

They also ask her about Farage’s plans to replace the Equality Act with a new Women and Motherhood Protection Act, and why she believes freedom online should not come at the cost of mandatory age verification.

Camilla and Tim are joined by Al Carns, the former armed forces minister who followed his boss John Healey in resigning last week over Keir Starmer’s inadequate Defence Investment Plan.

Elsewhere, they also interview Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch, who offers to help Andy Burnham cut welfare spending to fund defence if he becomes Prime Minister. She also says the Government’s social media ban for under 16s only happened thanks to amendments made by Conservative politicians.
