Why pro-Gaza MP Ayoub Khan refused ‘anti-Semitism training’ after Oct 7 comments

•

In today’s special Sunday Showdown edition of The Daily T, Tim Stanley is joined by Ayoub Khan, the independent MP for Birmingham Perry Barr.


The two argue the case about why Khan dramatically resigned from the Liberal Democrats during the general election campaign, whether the controversial phrase “from the river to the sea” is inherently antisemitic, and why Khan believes mainstream British politicians view the Muslim community as “expendable” in the race to capture votes.

  • Burnham's Royal blunder: Hapless PM drags King into slavery row

    32:31|
    In Monday’s episode of The Daily T, Camilla and Tim are joined by Hannah Furness, The Telegraph’s Royal Editor. They discuss Andy Burnham’s suggestion that he would consider issuing a formal apology for Britain’s role in the transatlantic slave trade. The trio talk about how his remarks could affect the remainder of the King’s nine-day Caribbean tour. Hannah tells the hosts that, although protests have so far been relatively muted, the Prime Minister’s comments have put the monarch in “a quite uncomfortable position”. Camilla and Tim also discuss Emma Reynolds’s suggestion that employers are not “working people”, reigniting the row over Labour’s definition of the term and who should bear the burden of tax rises.The Telegraph is the Publisher Podcast Awards' Podcast Publisher of the Year 2026► Get more exclusive Daily T content from The Daily T+ membership!

  • Prince Harry wants a reconciliation - but it won't happen his way

    32:46|
    In today’s episode of The Royal T, Camilla Tominey and Hannah Furness speak to Arthur Edwards, a royal photographer who has been following the British Royal Family for the past 50 years, ahead of the release of his new book ‘Cup of Tea, Arthur?: My Extraordinary 50 Years Photographing the Royal Family’. He runs through some of his biggest photo scoops, including the first time he met and photographed Diana, Princess of Wales, as well as his disagreements with then Prince Charles, who Arthur says has “matured” over the years as he has taken the throne. Arthur, who works as The Sun’s principle royal photographer for over half a century, also explains why he thinks the Royal Family needs a figure like Prince Harry, who he once considered the institution’s “star”, and why Arthur believes reconciliation in the form the Duke of Sussex would like it, won’t happen.The Telegraph is the Publisher Podcast Awards' Podcast Publisher of the Year 2026► Get more exclusive Daily T content from The Daily T+ membership!

  • ‘It’s anti-middle class’: How Chancellor Healey failed his first Budget

    28:04|
    In Wednesday’s episode of The Daily T, Tim Stanley and Jacob Rees-Mogg are joined by financial journalist and host of the Investing Unlocked podcast Georgie Frost to react to John Healey’s maiden Budget as Chancellor. Speaking immediately after the Chancellor’s speech, Tim welcomed some of the measures, such as the winter fuel payment, but criticised how Mr Healey was funding it, saying that the increased taxes on landlords and banks “are essentially a raid on the asset-owning middle classes”. On the issue of military spending, Jacob was critical, saying: “He’s got no more on defence than there was when he resigned. And yet he’s staying in office and in charge of it. That’s a pretty awkward position for him to be in.”The Telegraph is the Publisher Podcast Awards' Podcast Publisher of the Year 2026► Watch back our Daily T’s Autumn Budget YouTube livestream here.► Get more exclusive Daily T content from The Daily T+ membership!

We have done press releases.”Tim and Jacob also discuss Andy Burnham’s first 100 days in office, exploring the difficulties associated with coming in in mid-term.
