The Daily T

On Wednesday’s episode of The Daily T, Camilla Tominey and Tim Stanley examine Andy Burnham’s performance at Prime Minister’s Questions, arguing that his fumbling delivery reflects a broader lack of direction from the Labour government.The pair scrutinise Mr Burnham’s reliance on outside management consultants - specifically the Boston Consulting Group and James Purnell, a former New Labour minister - to draft his 10-year plan for the nation, and question the capability of his front-bench ministers.Elsewhere, Camilla and Tim discuss the aftermath of Russell Brand’s conviction and the emerging sexual misconduct allegations against David Walliams, and how both cases have caused the entertainment industry to look inwards on how it handles reports of alleged abuse. Tim specifically argues that shifting societal standards have eroded the stature of committed relationships, and that was reflected in the society and cultural products of the nineties and noughties.The Telegraph is the Publisher Podcast Awards' Podcast Publisher of the Year 2026They can't harm you, if they can't find you!

On Monday’s episode of The Daily T, Tim Stanley and Sir Jacob Rees-Mogg react to the sentencing of Russell Brand, who received 10 years and six months in prison after being found guilty of rape and three counts of sexual assault. The pair discuss the impact statements read out during the culmination of the disgraced comedian’s trial, and question how Brand managed to “hide in plain sight” as a sex offender working across comedy, media and politics. They look at how Brand’s shifting religious and political beliefs were used to reframe his image after allegations were first made against him. Tim and Jacob also discuss the institutional failures across the BBC, Channel 4 and other media organisations that profited off of Brand’s fame and tolerated his immoral behaviour. Tim and Jacob are also joined by Celia Walden, a Telegraph columnist, who shares her experiences meeting Brand. She describes Brand’s spiritual conversion as “a complete sham” and calls him a “chameleon-like figure” who adjusted his persona to “find a new shtick that would fit in”.The Telegraph is the Publisher Podcast Awards' Podcast Publisher of the Year 2026They can't harm you, if they can't find you!
