After what's shaping up to be a Labour bloodbath, Camilla and Tim reflect on a nightmare set of local election results for Keir Starmer. With the Prime Minister taking the blame but refusing to step aside, they assess whether his Cabinet colleagues may well take the decision out of his hands.As bad a night as it’s been for Labour, it’s been a great one for Reform. Camilla and Tim are joined by a jubilant Nigel Farage, who says his party’s remarkable taking back of the “red wall” is down to Starmer’s “weak and ruderless” leadership, and that Reform’s gains are down to the Labour Party of “London human rights lawyers” not connecting with ordinary people. We want to hear from you!

As the country goes to the polls in crucial local and devolved elections, The Daily T asks: Is Zack Polanski a foolish ideologue, a dangerous charlatan, or both?Polanski recently shared a social media post criticising the police’s conduct when arresting a man suspected of stabbing two Jewish men in Golders Green. As his personal poll rating tanks, Camilla and Tim explain why Polanski’s position on anti-Semitism and the growing Islamist support for his party make him a danger to Britain.Later, Sir John Curtice, Britain’s favourite pollster, tells The Daily T that Labour is facing its worst-ever result in London and the election of more pro-Gaza independents is “almost inevitable”.We want to hear from you!

On Wednesday’s Daily T podcast, Camilla Tominey and Tim Stanley are in Kent to speak to Kemi Badenoch, the Conservative leader, on the final day of campaigning before the local elections.Mrs Badenoch tells Camilla and Tim that Zack Polanski, the Greens’ leader, is not fit for public office.She says hers is the only party standing up for the Jewish community, and that Labour and Sir Keir Starmer are too afraid of upsetting their voters to take meaningful action on anti-Semitism.Elsewhere, Camilla and Tim are joined by Rabbi Doron Birnbaum, who went viral with his response to the knife attacks in Golders Green.We want to hear from you!

With 48 hours to go before the local and devolved elections, the verdict seems to be in already: the public hates Sir Keir Starmer and the two main parties – and many will never vote for Labour or the Conservatives again.That is according to new polling, which also also showed an appetite for NHS reform and higher taxes on big business and the rich. Camilla and Tim are joined by Scarlett Maguire and Lee Cain, the pollsters behind the findings, to understand why the public is losing faith in politics.Meanwhile, they discuss the state of the campaign trail, with Kemi Badenoch clashing with a pro-Palestine heckler and Zack Polanski’s poll ratings tanking after his row with the police.We want to hear from you!

To kick off The Daily T On Tour, Conservative, Reform and Labour politicians joined Camilla Tominey and Tim Stanley to go head to head live on stage – and it didn’t disappoint.James Cleverly, Tory shadow housing secretary, Zia Yusuf, Reform’s home affairs spokesman and James Murray, Chief Secretary to the Treasury, hashed it out about the immigration “invasion” of Britain; how Starmer’s Government is clobbering the middle class; and if our diminished military could defend the Falklands today.In a sometimes testy exchange, Mr Cleverly attacked Reform’s record in local government, Mr Yusuf went after the Tories over immigration figures, and Mr Murray was almost laughed out the room when he tries to defend Labour’s welfare policies.We want to hear from you!
