The Daily T

In today’s episode of The Daily T, Camilla Tominey and Tim Stanley discuss Andy Burnham’s “gaffe-laden” return to Prime Minister’s Questions after the party conferences. They look at how Burnham doubled-down on his claims of Russian interference in the 2016 Brexit referendum vote after Kemi Badenoch, the Conservative leader, challenged him about putting “his foot in his mouth”. They discuss how his firm stance against a deal with the Green Party over its “Zionism is racism” motion might lead to a rowback from the PM at a general election.They also dissect Burnham’s more sympathetic exchange with Nigel Farage, the Reform UK leader. Tim deems Burnham to be “hypocritical” when factoring in his earlier praise of Badenoch for calling out Reform over some of its members’ comments on national identity and race.► Get more exclusive Daily T content from The Daily T+ membership!

In today’s episode of The Daily T, Camilla Tominey and Tim Stanley speak to Andrew Griffith, the shadow chancellor, from the Conservative Party conference.Camilla and Tim challenge Griffith on the party’s pledges to cut welfare and scrap inheritance tax on family homes, with Tim asking how he would respond to a claim that he was “repeating Liz Truss’s mistake of promising something that country is not in a position to fiscally underwrite”.The shadow chancellor defends his party’s policies, saying they have been “forensically set out” and are not a repeat of the Truss mini-Budget. He claims that “balancing the books runs in [his] DNA” and clarifies that his aim to abolish a tax in every Budget under a Conservative government is an ambition, not a promise.Griffith also denies that the Conservatives have regained a reputation as “the nasty party”, and criticises Labour’s “hope handout” strategy when it comes to unemployment and benefits.► Get more exclusive Daily T content from The Daily T+ membership!

They discuss how much damage last week’s “Zionism is Racism” motion had done to the party and Mr Polanski’s absence has undermined his reputation and standing within the party.Tim considers whether despite defeat in the by-election the result cements the Green Party as the Labour alternative for Left-wing voters.They also discuss whether this result energises the Labour Party and that Polanski remaining in charge is a boost for Andy Burnham, and could lead to the Prime Minister calling an early general election.► Get more exclusive Daily T content from The Daily T+ membership!

In today’s episode of The Daily T from the final day of the Conservative Party conference, Camilla Tominey and Tim Stanley give their reaction to party leader Kemi Badenoch’s powerful and punchy speech to delegates and supporters. Camilla believes it displayed a more human side to the Tory leader as she discussed race, identity politics, defectors of her own party to Reform UK as well as her policy announcement to scrap inheritance tax on family homes. Camilla and Tim compare Badenoch’s closing address to Prime Minister Andy Burnham’s speech at last week’s Labour party conference, and the differences in tone and policy gaps in the PM’s rousing speech. Within their analysis, Camilla and Tim also reference The Telegraph’s exclusive story on the conclusion of Reform UK’s internal investigation, clearing senior party figures of any law-breaking after an undercover investigation by Channel 4 journalists.► Get more exclusive Daily T content from The Daily T+ membership!
