The Daily T

In Wednesday’s episode of The Daily T, Camilla Tominey and Tim Stanley are joined by Liz Truss, the former prime minister. They discuss Andy Burnham’s plans for a national care service and whether the changes to the triple lock will be able to fully fund them. Ms Truss is highly critical of the Bank of England and the Office for Budget Responsibility, claiming they are not independent, adding that “the state has been captured by the progressives”.
Tim asks Ms Truss whether she is embarrassed to be the example the Left gives for why not to vote for the Right, and whether she still believes she was right about her mini-Budget. Ms Truss responds: “They attack me because I’m right, they wouldn’t if I was irrelevant.”

In Tuesday’s episode of The Daily T, Camilla Tominey and Tim Stanley review Andy Burnham’s first Labour Party conference speech as Prime Minister. They discuss the list of expensive promises made by the PM, including his announcement of a National Care Service, new legislation to allow councils to acquire empty homes, and a pledge to scrap the triple lock pension after the next election.

Camilla and Tim clash over Burnham’s emotional anecdotes about his late father when discussing social care and the NHS – debating whether it was “performative politics” or predominantly moving and relatable. They also discuss the Prime Minister’s desperate desire to return to the 1970s, his dislike for Margaret Thatcher, and the “rose-tinted glasses” through which he sees Gordon Brown’s legacy.
Plus: are labradors and ale really part of a “far-Right” fantasy that “never really existed”, as one Labour minister protests?

In Monday’s episode of The Daily T, live from the Labour Party conference in Liverpool, Camilla Tominey and Tim Stanley react to Chancellor John Healey’s speech to delegates.
They analyse his pledge that businesses – rather than the Government – will fuel Britain’s growth, and his promise to stop the welfare bill from soaring further. Before next month’s Budget, the Chancellor vowed a “new age of industrialisation” and declared that Britain “will hope again” under Andy Burnham’s leadership.
Camilla and Tim also discuss the Chancellor’s nostalgic references to past Labour governments – as well as his anecdotes about a miner’s lamp on his desk and wearing a red tie signed by Gordon Brown, the former prime minister and chancellor, to deliver his speech.

In today’s special Daily T episode, live from Liverpool ahead of the Labour Party Conference, Camilla Tominey goes head-to-head with Bridget Phillipson, the party chairman and former education secretary. They debate the Government’s education policy, including issues from school uniform policies to VAT on private schools, as well as Ms Phillipson’s views on women’s access to single-sex spaces. The women and equalities minister also doubles down on her response to Sir Jim Ratcliffe’s public comments that Britain is “on the slide”. Camilla also asks her whether she was disappointed to be replaced as education secretary by Lucy Powell, and whether she’s ever kissed a Tory.

In Sunday’s bonus episode of The Daily T, Camilla Tominey and Tim Stanley speak to Andrew Morton, the unofficial biographer of Diana, Princess of Wales. Morton believes the Palace should not have issued a statement in reaction to Earl Spencer’s memoir on his late sister’s life and death, and says that royal staff who were present at the time of the earl’s conversation with the King in the aftermath of Diana’s death should speak out to confirm what happened. Morton also reflects on his past conversations with Diana, and recalls her own words on her mental health, upbringing and relationship with Charles before she died.
