The High Court has ruled against housing asylum seekers at The Bell Hotel in Epping, granting a temporary injunction that could reshape the UK’s asylum policy. Local councils, including Broxbourne, are now considering similar legal action, raising the question: where will migrants go if more hotels are closed?

In this episode of The Daily T, Camilla and Tim discuss the political fallout of the Epping ruling, the future of migrant hotels across Britain, and how the Labour government will respond. 

Will ministers attempt to overturn the decision, or risk a wave of councils following suit? With a record 50,000 migrants crossing the Channel since Labour took office and Reform’s Nigel Farage hailing it “a great victory”, the pressure is mounting on the government.

And we talk about the rise of the “Pink Ladies” - the local mothers leading peaceful protests outside asylum hotels - and the growing grass roots movement they represent. Lindsey Thompson, an Epping resident and one of the original protestors, joins us to explain why she took to the streets and why the campaign is gaining national attention.

Lindsey Thompson: I'm an Epping "pink lady" - we're ordinary people, not far-right thugs

Yesterday’s much-anticipated summit in Washington, which saw a host of European leaders accompany Volodymyr Zelensky to The White House for talks with Donald Trump about achieving peace in Ukraine, has been talked up optimistically by all who were present.

However, with Donald Trump today ruling out American boots on the ground as part of any security guarantees for Ukraine, and Zelensky ruling out Vladimir Putin’s offer of a bi-lateral meeting in Moscow - two of the key takeaways from the meeting - was anything really achieved in Washington?

On today’s Daily T, former UK defence secretary Ben Wallace tells Camilla and Tim that the summit was “relatively pointless” and “nothing really came of it”. He makes the point that Donald Trump has never applied serious pressure on Putin - such as through the increased use of economic sanctions - to bring him to the table, as well as outlining his worry that Trump will end up rewarding Putin with “ground that he hasn’t already taken”.

Ben Wallace: Trump still hasn't put any pressure on Putin

Following a remarkable summit between the US and Russia in Alaska at the weekend, talks on ending the war in Ukraine continue at pace with a phalanx of European leaders accompanying Volodymyr Zelensky for major discussions with Donald Trump in Washington later today.

Keir Starmer is part of an extraordinary show of support for the Ukrainian president, with fears that Trump is pushing Zelensky to accept the demands Vladimir Putin made in Friday’s Anchorage summit - namely that he wants full control of the Donbas region as part of any peace settlement. 

Camilla and Tim explain what we know about how today’s crucial discussions will play out, what a good outcome looks like for Ukraine, and whether Starmer’s carefully nurtured relationship with Trump could be the key to a positive outcome.

Can Starmer save Zelensky from another Oval Office ambush?

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”.

Ash Sarkar: I underestimated Nigel Farage, he’s outflanking Labour

The shadow home secretary has said he was confronted by a man with a machete and had glass bottles thrown at him while visiting a migrant camp in Calais.

Chris Philp speaks to Tim and Gordon just after the “hair-raising” incident, and what is could tell us about some of the people crossing the Channel illegally.

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.

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

Cricket legend Sir Geoffrey Boycott is one of the world's most famous sportsmen. The England test batsman was the man who could defend against the very best fast bowlers, score plenty of runs and give England a chance.

Theresa May once described him as her political hero; gritty, digging in and getting the runs in the end. But last year he discovered his throat cancer, which he first battled in 2002, had come back, undergoing a three-hour operation to remove the cancerous tissue.

In this special episode of The Daily T, Geoffrey Boycott joins Kamal and Telegraph Chief Cricket Correspondent Nick Hoult to discuss pontificating politicians, showman sportsmen and why he's 'absolutely sympathetic' to Esther Rantzen's arguments for assisted dying.
