The Daily T

Dr. David Bull, the new chairman of Reform UK, is an unlikely politician. He made his name as a TV doctor and presenter, even hosting a live ghost hunt. But he played a key role in the transition of the Brexit Party to Reform and even says the name of the party was cooked up in his kitchen. 

He takes on the role from Zia Yusuf – who quit in dramatic fashion earlier this year – and after a period of splits and infighting.

Tim visited Dr Bull at his home in Suffolk, where they spoke about his previous lives as a Tory candidate and as a Brexit MEP; his paranormal experiences; and his relationships with Rupert Lowe and Nigel Farage.

Reform chairman David Bull: ‘It can't be the Nigel Farage show’

With Keir Starmer proving as unpopular and unpalatable to the left as he is to the right, Jeremy Corbyn’s new - and as yet untitled - political party joins Reform UK in presenting a very real threat to Labour’s chances of re-election in 2029.

In this episode of The Daily T, Tim Stanley and Gordon Rayner talk to Ash Sarkar - journalist, Corbyn-supporter and co-founder of left-wing media organisation Novara Media - about how that new party could form a potentially fatal electoral pact for Starmer by teaming up with the Greens in 2029.

As well as her dissatisfaction at Keir Starmer and Rachel Reeves, she also talks about how Reform have outflanked Labour on the left with talk of nationalising utility providers like Thames Water, and why she “previously underestimated Nigel Farage” but is now “taking him a lot more seriously”.

Three and a half years in to Moscow’s war in Ukraine, the Russian and American presidents are set to meet in Alaska - possibly to decide its outcome over the heads of European leaders.

Having long insisted that Kyiv would not cede any territory to Russia, Ukraine’s President Zelensky could now be softening on that position.

Tim and Gordon are joined by Ukraine: The Latest hosts Dom Nicholls and Francis Dearnley to understand how this historic summit could play out.

Plus, we read Nicola Sturgeon’s memoir so you don’t have to. The Telegraph’s best-known Scot Alan Cochrane reviews her political record.

Are Trump and Putin about to carve up Europe?

Labour have admitted to failing white, working-class children in Britain. 

Writing in today’s Daily Telegraph, Education Secretary Bridget Phillipson says it’s a “national disgrace” that so many pupils are being left behind, pointing to an alarming rise in school absence whilst all-important attainment figures go the other way. 

Having inherited a strong schools system from the Conservatives, Gordon Rayner is joined by former Tory education minister, Sir Nick Gibb, to try and understand what’s gone wrong. Gibb believes Labour “didn’t do the work in opposition to try and understand how to improve” and that they’ve been “listening to the teacher unions too closely”.

Plus, Tim and Cleo speak to Lawrence Newport - the co-founder of Looking for Growth, a campaign group that wants to kick-start our flailing economy. Newport, who made his start in political campaigning by getting XL bully dogs banned, says our politics is fundamentally broken, too slow and too ineffective - echoing one of his group’s backers, Dominic Cummings.

Why Labour’s two-tier education system is failing working class pupils

He’s worked for some of the most controversial people to enter the dock: OJ Simpson, Harvey Weinstein, Julian Assange.

Leading American defence lawyer Alan Dershowitz also represented Jeffrey Epstein, the disgraced financier and convicted paedophile who has been causing trouble for President Donald Trump from beyond the grave.

Dershowitz speaks to Tim Stanley about Epstein’s relationship with Trump and Bill Clinton; what’s really in those files; and the kind of deal Ghislaine Maxwell could do with the Justice Department.

The Telegraph has also spoken to Epstein’s former butler, who makes a new set of bombshell allegations about the late financier and his ties to Trump. We put those claims to Dershowitz.

In this revealing joint biography of Prince Andrew and Sarah Ferguson, Lownie explores the Duke and Duchess of York’s controversial lives - from their relationship and divorce, to Prince Andrew’s Falklands service, business ties, and infamous links to Jeffrey Epstein.

Based on four years of investigative research, over 100 exclusive interviews, and multiple FOI requests, Entitled uncovers new details from palace insiders, former staff, diplomats, charity workers, and journalists silenced from reporting on the Yorks – offering an unprecedented portrait of a royal couple at the centre of scandal.

Prince Andrew's biographer on Fergie, Epstein, and the Yorks' 'huge PR machine'

It’s been a year since the shocking Southport attacks and the controversial social media crackdown that followed. 

Gordon Rayner speaks to Simon Pearson, a teacher who lost his job after criticising ‘two-tier justice’ in the case of Lucy Connolly who was jailed last year after posting about the summer riots on her X account. 

In a post on social media, Pearson, who taught adults at Preston College, said Connolly’s online comments were “obviously wrong” but she “should not have been jailed”. 

We hear how Pearson has struggled to find another job after he was sacked and why he is taking legal action. 

Meanwhile, Tory infighting erupts as Kemi Badenoch and Liz Truss go head-to-head in public. In a Telegraph column, Badenoch blamed Truss’s 2022 mini-budget for wrecking the Conservative economic legacy, while Truss accessed Badenoch of repeating “spurious narratives” to deflect from her own party’s failures. 

Tim and Cleo discuss what is really behind this clash and what it means for the party.

The teacher sacked for speaking out about Lucy Connolly and two-tier justice

Since Labour’s controversial 20% VAT on private school fees has taken effect, over 50 private schools have closed, with many more at risk. 

The policy was meant to raise billions to hire new teachers, but The Telegraph’s exclusive analysis reveals it may have the opposite effect.

In today’s episode of The Daily T, Tim Stanley and Cleo Watson speak to Julie Robinson, CEO of the Independent Schools Council, about how schools are shutting their doors, the impact on SEND pupils, and how the wealthiest families are avoiding the tax altogether by paying fees up front.

And why is everyone talking about Sydney Sweeney and… her jeans? The White Lotus star is making headlines after a new American Eagle campaign and revelations that she’s a registered Republican - and now even President Donald Trump is getting involved.

Can private schools survive Labour?

Sir Andy Cooke, HM Chief Inspector of Constabulary, has told the Sunday Telegraph that there is “every possibility” of rioting this summer, in a repeat of last year's unrest following the Southport murders, as the same ingredients that fuelled that disorder are still very much in place now.

With anger at the housing of migrants in hotels spilling over into more violent demonstrations at the weekend, as well as the Telegraph's exclusive story that pro-Palestinian supporters are co-orindating in an attempt to overwhelm the police, are we on the brink of major civil unrest?

Gordon Rayner and Cleo Watson are joined by Martin Evans, the Telegraph's Crime Editor, who's been speaking to sources within the police to find out how braced for trouble they are, whilst Cleo reveals how Downing Street may be unprepared with Westminster in summer shutdown.

Is this another summer of discontent?

The Chancellor flew to the US for a meeting of the International Monetary Fund this week, just as the agency downgraded Britain’s growth prospects for the coming year.

Rachel Reeves is there partly to move along trade talks with Washington, but the White House is embroiled in chaos of its own. Markets are in turmoil over tariffs, while defence secretary Pete Hegseth is embroiled in another Signal messaging saga.

 

Kamal and Camilla are joined by former Trump national security advisor (turned vocal critic) John Bolton, who says the president “doesn’t have ideas; he has reactions”.

Bolton also reacts to the news that American negotiators cancelled a trip to London to discuss a peace plan for Ukraine, and says he is worried Trump is being led astray on a nuclear deal with Iran that’s “not worth the paper it’s printed on”.
