The Daily T

With journalist Ruth Sherlock quite literally on the road to Damascus and Tom Tugendhat MP in the studio

In a whirlwind 48 hours, more than half a century of brutal Assad family rule in Syria came to an end this weekend. Rebel forces entered Damascus after a lightning offensive that forced the Syrian president to flee on a plane to Moscow.

Kamal and Camilla speak to Ruth Sherlock - who after years of reporting on the Syrian civil war is en-route back into the country - about the chaotic scenes on the streets of Damascus, where armed fighters have descended.

And Tom Tugendhat MP, who served in Iraq and Afghanistan, speaks to the Daily T about his "deep concern" at the power vacuum in Syria, whether the UK should still proscribe the leading rebel group as a terrorist organisation, and what Assad's departure means for Iran and Russia.

How Syrians toppled Assad and why Iran's regime could be next

Another day, another defection to Reform.

Billionaire property tycoon Nick Candy renounced his Conservative Party membership to join Farage, blaming “too many broken promises” from his former party.

Camilla was in Westminster to catch up with Farage and Candy, who said he will give a "seven-figure" sum to Reform UK when he becomes the party's treasurer in the new year. Kamal and Camilla consider where this leaves Kemi Badenoch - does she need to be more scrappy to keep Farage at bay?

And after actress Keira Knightley declared her big scene in the Christmas film Love Actually “creepy”, we ask if there is, actually, anything to love about the festive favourite.

Is Farage better at opposition than Badenoch?

Robert Jenrick, shadow justice secretary and former Tory leadership contender, joins Kamal and Camilla in the studio to discuss Labour's multi-billion pound grand plans to build four new super-prisons.

The prisons will create 14,000 new places, but Justice Secretary Shabana Mahmood says we’re still going to run out of space within three years. They will also be forced through the planning process by Angela Rayner under powers that allow the objections of local towns and villages to be overruled.

Kamal and Camilla ask if forcing prisons through the planning system without properly consulting with local residents is ever a good idea.

Plus Jenrick on first-cousin marriage and whether Shamima Begum should return to the UK now that the Assad regime has fallen.

Super-prisons: Coming to a village near you?

And the latest Saudi sportswashing as they get the 2034 World Cup

Labour has unveiled the biggest changes to - and liberalisation of - planning laws in a generation to help deliver on its promise of 1.5 million new homes this parliament.

With the Tories worrying that concerns of local people will be “completely swept aside”, Camilla and Kamal speak to shadow housing secretary Kevin Hollinrake who also claims the “majority” of the 1.5 million new homes will be for immigrants. 

Plus, Saudi Arabia has won an uncontested bid to host the 2034 World Cup, so we speak to chief sports writer Oliver Brown about FIFA's "grotesque" decision - the latest in a long line of Saudi attempts at 'sportswashing'.

Which supermarket reigns supreme this Christmas?

A Chinese businessman and alleged spy has now been identified as Yang Tengbo after a court order protecting his identity was lifted.

He was banned from the UK last week amid claims he had formed an "unusual degree of trust" with the Duke of York - Prince Andrew. Judges were told the businessman was attempting to leverage the disgraced Prince's influence. Former Conservative leader Sir Iain Duncan Smith joins us in The Daily T studio to explain why the alleged spy could be one of many such Chinese agents operating "in plain view" . 

And could fresh evidence from the legal team for former neonatal nurse Lucy Letby prove her innocence?

This week we will be highlighting the work done by the four charities The Telegraph is supporting in our Christmas appeal. In today's episode, we'll be looking at Humanity and Inclusion, a global charity working alongside disabled and vulnerable people in 60 countries affected by poverty, conflict and disaster.

You can read more about the work done by Humanity and Inclusion, as well as Adelie Pojzman-Pontay and Francis Dearnley's reporting from Kharkiv, on The Telegraph’s website. Other charities we are supporting include: Alzheimer’s Research UK, Teenage Cancer Trust and Army Benevolent Fund. To donate to any of them, please visit telegraph.co.uk/2024appeal or call 0151 317 5247.

Has a Chinese 'spy' infiltrated the British establishment?

New figures show that not only has the economy contracted, but job hiring is at a record low.

Keir Starmer and Rachel Reeves strode into Downing Street on July 5th talking about just one thing - growth. But since then the government has raised employers’ national insurance contributions, slapped taxes on farmers, slashed winter fuel allowance and now worse news still - the economy officially shrunk in October and the number of job vacancies is at a record low. So, is Rachel Reeves the worst chancellor in history?

Plus, we’ll hear from a veteran who lost both his legs and his right arm in Afghanistan and how the Army Benevolent Fund - another of the charities the Telegraph is supporting this Christmas - changed his life.

You can read more about the work done by the Army Benevolent Fund on The Telegraph website using the link below. Other charities we are supporting include: Alzheimer’s Research UK, Teenage Cancer Trust and Humanity and Inclusion.

Is Rachel Reeves a bad Chancellor?

It is surely an image for the history books. Nigel Farage stood next to two billionaires, one of them Elon Musk, at Donald Trump’s Florida estate. The X owner is reported to be considering donating as much as $100 million to Reform UK.

Is this foreign interference in our politics? And what would a history-making donation to Farage’s party mean for Labour and the Tories?

Plus, political editor Ben Riley-Smith has been speaking to Keir Starmer about Russia and tax - on board a frigate in Estonia, no less.

We also hear from veteran broadcaster Alastair Stewart about living with dementia and his work with Alzheimer’s Research UK.

Should Elon Musk be involved in British politics?

Gisèle Pelicot’s courage, resilience and fortitude in publically proving a decade of rape and sexual abuse at the hands of her husband and fifty other men has transformed her from septuagenarian grandmother to French national hero.

Dominique Pelicot will go down as one of the worst sex offenders in modern French history, having been sentenced to 20 years in prison for drugging Gisèle and inviting dozens of men to rape her in her home in the south of France.

Kamal and Camilla speak to The Telegraph's Paris correspondent Henry Samuel from the courthouse in Avignon, Provence, where he has been following the trial and its conclusion.

Elsewhere, they speak to The Telegraph's Lucy Foster, who is spearheading our Christmas Charity Appeal, about the final of the four nominated charities this year - the Teenage Cancer Trust.

How Gisèle Pelicot changed France forever

t was front-page news when earlier this year, rapper and businessman Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs was arrested after facing a wave of civil lawsuits related to allegations including sex trafficking, racketeering conspiracy and rape.

Then earlier this month, an amended lawsuit filed in a federal court in New York alleged that fellow rap star Jay-Z had raped a 13-year-old girl with Combs during a party in 2000, an allegation Jay-Z has denied, calling it a “blackmail attempt” by the lawyer who is behind it all.

Tony Buzbee is representing those accusing them - a multi-millionnaire lawyer who lives in one of the most expensive houses in Houston, Texas. The Telegraph's Mick Brown has traveled to the US to interview him and joins Kamal to tell us what it was like to meet the man behind a media storm.

The US super-lawyer taking on Jay-Z and P Diddy

In recent years, politicians appearing in reality TV shows has become something of a trend - think Matt Hancock and Nigel Farage on I'm a Celebrity, Ed Balls on Strictly, or Penny Mordaunt on Splash!

The latest to join their ranks is former cabinet minister Jacob Rees Mogg, who earlier this year let cameras into his 17th century stately home in Somerset, where he lives with his wife and six children.

Jacob joins Camilla and Kamal over breakfast in the Daily Tea studio, to discuss how his children felt about appearing on the series, whether reality TV can really help a politician get out a message, and which TV shows he's inclined to binge (the answers may surprise you).
