Keir Starmer has served a group of Chagos Islanders who landed by boat on the territory on Tuesday with an eviction notice, threatening them with a three-year prison term if they don’t leave.The Chagossians who returned are protesting against the government handing the islands back to Mauritius, and include the elected first minister Misley Mandarin.Camilla and Tim speak to Chagos campaigner and sister of Mr Mandarin, Vanessa Calou, who says that Starmer has “given away our island without consulting the British people” and calls the Prime Minister “disgusting” and a “traitor” who must resign.They also attend Robert Jenrick’s first press conference as “shadow” chancellor, and ask whether Reform have abandoned radical policy ideas in an effort not to spook the markets.We want to hear from you!

Another day, another Labour scandal. The campaign group that helped sweep Sir Keir Starmer into No 10, Labour Together, now stands accused of orchestrating a sinister smear campaign against journalists.After The Sunday Times revealed the group had failed to declare £730,000 in donations, Labour Together reportedly paid a US consultancy to dig into the “backgrounds and motivations” of reporters Gabriel Pogrund and Harry Yorke.As the Cabinet Office begins “looking into” the affair, Camilla and Jacob Rees-Mogg ask how deep do Labour Together’s roots run in this Government and if PM Keir Starmer should now sever ties completely.And as pressure mounts for a full police investigation into Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor over fresh revelations about his time as trade envoy, emails now suggest he leaked confidential information about Royal Bank of Scotland after its £45bn bailout, and shared sensitive details about Aston Martin.Producers: Lilian Fawcett and Georgia CoanSenior Producer: John CadiganExecutive Producer: Charlotte SeligmanVideo Producer: Will WaltersStudio Operator: Meghan SearleSocial Producer: Nada AggourEditor: Camilla Tominey

“Beijing’s public enemy No 1” – a title that defines the fate of the media mogul Jimmy Lai.A self-made millionaire, a British citizen and an unapologetic opponent of China’s authoritarian regime, he now sits behind bars, facing a 20-year sentence under Hong Kong’s draconian national security law.Camilla and Tim speak exclusively to Sebastien Lai, Jimmy’s son, about his father’s deteriorating health, his disappointment with Sir Keir Starmer and the British Government’s “lacklustre” response, and why he is pinning his hopes for his father’s freedom on Donald Trump ahead of the US president’s visit to China.We want to hear from you!

Manchester United co-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe has been forced to apologise for describing the UK as “colonised by immigrants,” after Sir Keir Starmer described his words as “offensive and wrong”.Camilla is joined by Jacob Rees Mogg, who says Ratcliffe is merely highlighting “a lack of integration” and that the PM is “in no place to moralise at the moment” after a series of scandals.Elsewhere, the podcast speaks to students who are leaving university with an average of £53,000 worth of debt, a burden that Sir Jacob blames on the Government’s “interest rate racket”.We want to hear from you!

Sir Keir Starmer is facing yet another crisis over his poor judgment after it emerged that he nominated his former spin doctor, linked to the convicted paedophile Sean Morton, to the House of Lords.Kemi Badenoch skewered the Prime Minister in the Commons over Lord Doyle’s appointment, accusing him of “stuffing Government with hypocrites and paedophile apologists”.Tim and Camilla review a disastrous PMQs for Sir Keir and question his latest distraction tactic of playing up his “working class” background.Meanwhile, Sarah Pochin, the Reform UK MP, was banned from speaking at Bangor University, whose debating society accused her of racism, transphobia, and homophobia.She tells Camilla the decision goes against free speech, and also weighs in on Nigel Farage’s latest attack on working from home.We want to hear from you!

Sir Keir Starmer has pulled his premiership back from the brink. The PM secured the support of most of his party with an uncharacteristic show of passion at a meeting of Labour MPs on Monday night – but, with local elections imminent, his position is far from secure.Camilla and Tim are joined by the Labour MP and Starmer ally Karl Turner, who says the “terribly cautious” PM needs to be “more normal” and focus on delivery.Plus, King Charles has thrown his brother under a Royal carriage with a statement offering his support to the police as they “assess” Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor’s alleged leaking to Jeffrey Epstein.Could this change in tactic have anything to do with the monarch being heckled by the public?We want to hear from you!

Keir Starmer was probably hoping today would be another chance to reset his premiership, following the departure this weekend of Morgan McSweeney, his chief of staff.Instead he's been hit first by the departure of Tim Allan, his director of communications, and then by Anas Sarwar, the leader of Labour in Scotland, who became the most senior figure from his party to urge the PM to resign.Camilla and Tim speak to Lee Cain, former director of communications to Boris Johnson, to find out what it is like to be in Downing Street as a government comes to an end. They also react to the news that Thames Valley Police are assessing claims Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor forwarded sensitive information to Jeffrey Epstein while he was trade envoy.We want to hear from you!
