Trumpageddon: could tariffs finally make Brexit work for Britain?
So it’s finally happened. Donald Trump took to the White House Rose Garden on Wednesday night to announce his grand tariff plan on what he’d dubbed “Liberation Day”.The end result was the UK being slapped with a 10pc tax on all exports to the US. It’s not good news for the economy, but we have avoided the much heavier tariffs imposed on the likes of the EU and China.Kamal and Camilla ask former Business Secretary and ardent Leaver Sir Jacob Rees-Mogg whether we can thank Brexit for sparing the UK from the worst of the new regime, and if we will now realise the full potential of leaving Europe.They also assess how well Keir Starmer comes out of it all. For all of his bending the knee to Trump, the Prime Minister has come away with exactly the same outcome on tariffs as Taliban-led Afghanistan. Can he still salvage a trade deal, or is retaliatory action on the cards?Producers: Georgia Coan and Lilian FawcettSenior Producer: John CadiganPlanning Editor: Venetia RaineySocial Media Producer: Rachel DuffyVideo Editor: Valerie BrowneStudio Director: Meghan SearleEditor: Camilla TomineyOriginal music by Goss Studio Hosted on Acast.

Labour's 'awful April' and Trump's tariffs – how much worse off will you be?
It’s the eve of Donald Trump’s ‘Liberation Day’, when the president’s new global tariffs regime risks wiping out Labour’s capacity to balance the books. Starmer is saying the US-UK trade talks are “well advanced” and has rejected any “knee-jerk” response from the Government, but has admitted that British exports will be hit by the new taxes. Despite all this, the Prime Minister continues to tell us that he plans to put more money in our pockets, promising millions of Britons a pay rise. Kamal and Camilla are live from Conservative HQ, where in a major speech Kemi Badenoch hit out at Labour’s “jobs tax” and accused them of a “fundamental breach of trust.” She also warned against any retaliation to Trump's tariffs, which she says would “just make everyone poorer”. They discuss this and more with shadow chancellor Mel Stride, who has claimed families will be £3500 worse off by the end of this Parliament.Producers: Georgia Coan, Lilian Fawcett and Will LewisSenior Producer: John CadiganPlanning Editor: Venetia RaineySocial Media Producer: James SimmonsVideo Editor/Camera Operator: James EnglandEditor: Camilla TomineyOriginal music by Goss Studio Hosted on Acast.

The “two-tier” justice row has reared its ugly head again, as it emerges judges and magistrates are being told to prioritise bail for ethnic minorities as they are at higher risk of being remanded into custody.It comes after the Sentencing Council refused a request from Justice Secretary Shabana Mahmood for it to rethink other new instructions, which come into effect from tomorrow, that require judges to consider an offender's background before deciding to impose a custodial sentence.Kamal and Camilla speak to shadow justice secretary Robert Jenrick about the ongoing ‘two tier” justice row, as well Prime Minister Keir Starmer trumpeting his government having deported 24,000 illegal immigrants.They also speak to The Telegraph’s Paris Correspondent, Henry Samuel, after Marine Le Pen was found guilty of embezzlement and banned from running for public office for five years, meaning she would not be able to run in the 2027 French presidential election.

Farage has his big moment – but can he cut it?
It's the day of Reform's big local election campaign launch in Birmingham. 10,000 people are expected to attend a Trump-style rally at the city's arena, with Reform themselves describing it as “the biggest ever launch rally in modern British political history”.And with new IPSOS polling showing that Nigel Farage tops the polling for British favoured next Prime Minister with 28pc - can he capitalise on his own popularity ratings and the less than impressive numbers for Kemi Badenoch (18pc) and lead the right to victory?The local elections will be his first test, and Kamal and Camilla assess the state of the nation as the other main parties get ready to join Reform in launching their campaigns.They also speak to former Reform deputy leader Ben Habib, a man who was forced out by Farage when he became leader, about whether the party is capable of sticking together and if he could be tempted to form a new party with fellow ex-Reform MP Rupert Lowe.Producers: Georgia CoanSenior Producer: John CadiganPlanning Editor: Venetia RaineySocial Media Producer: Ji-Min LeeVideo Editor: Valerie BrowneStudio Director: Meghan SearleEditor: Camilla TomineyOriginal music by Goss Studio Hosted on Acast.
