The Daily T

Andy Burnham has announced his intention to stand in a by-election in Makerfield after Josh Simons, the Labour MP and former Cabinet Office minister, stood down to clear his path back to Westminster.

The Mayor of Greater Manchester is by far the most popular Labour politician and would be confident of success in a leadership contest against Sir Keir Starmer. But first he has to be allowed to fight the seat – which is in his own backyard – by the party’s National Executive Committee, and then beat Reform, which won the Makerfield wards in last week’s local elections.

Camilla Tominey and Tim Stanley assess the chances of Burnham securing the nomination for and then winning Makerfield, as well as the role that Ed Miliband has played and where it leaves Wes Streeting after his resignation as health secretary on Thursday.

Burnham set for by-election bid, but can he win Makerfield?

Wes Streeting has resigned from Keir Starmer’s cabinet with a blistering attack on the PM. But with no contest formally triggered, how long can Starmer cling on before more ministers call for him to go?

Tim Stanley speaks to the Telegraph’s chief political commentator Ben Riley-Smith on the impact and timing of Streeting’s resignation and whether his letter offers an in for either Andy Burnham or Angela Rayner.

Meanwhile, friend of The Daily T Jacob Rees-Mogg also drops in to give an insight into the chaos of a political party leadership contest.

Starmer premiership on life support as Streeting resigns

Wes Streeting is expected to resign and launch a leadership challenge as early as tomorrow, plunging Westminster into crisis just as Parliament reopens.

The King announced the Government’s legislative agenda this afternoon but the big story was machinations at No 10, where the Health Secretary and Keir Starmer held a meeting that lasted just 16 minutes.

Camilla and Tim battle the elements outside Parliament to bring you the latest developments from a tense day in Westminster.

They are joined by Labour MP Luke Akehurst, who pleads directly with his friend Wes Streeting to not resign – and suggests he doesn’t have enough MPs behind him anyway.

Starmer snub ignites Streeting ‘coup’ plot on King’s Speech day

The resignations have begun, putting Keir Starmer’s premiership teetering on the brink.

Victims minister Alex Davies-Jones joined safeguarding minister Jess Phillips this afternoon in standing down from government, as would-be challengers Wes Streeting and Andy Burnham work on their succession plans.

As Westminster waits on tenterhooks, Camilla and Tim are joined by suspended Labour MP Karl Turner who calls the situation “barmy” and offers the damning assessment that “ on the doorstep, Keir Starmer is more toxic than Jeremy Corbyn ever was.”

Cabinet revolt erupts as Starmer refuses to budge

In the aftermath of catastrophic local election results for Labour, Sir Keir Starmer gave a speech to MPs on Monday in a desperate bid to retain their support.

But with his shabby outfit and outdated ideas, the Prime Minister only dug himself a deeper grave. Camilla and Tim catch up with the Telegraph’s Chief Political Commentator, Ben Riley-Smith, on the mood inside No 10 as challengers eye the premiership.

Plus, Green leader Zack Polanski has been caught out in another lie by the Telegraph. But will this latest revelation even matter to his voters?

‘Less authentic than AI’: Starmer's ‘reset’ speech rejected as rivals close in

After what's shaping up to be a Labour bloodbath, Camilla and Tim reflect on a nightmare set of local election results for Keir Starmer. With the Prime Minister taking the blame but refusing to step aside, they assess whether his Cabinet colleagues may well take the decision out of his hands.

As bad a night as it’s been for Labour, it’s been a great one for Reform. Camilla and Tim are joined by a jubilant Nigel Farage, who says his party’s remarkable taking back of the “red wall” is down to Starmer’s “weak and ruderless” leadership, and that Reform’s gains are down to the Labour Party of “London human rights lawyers” not connecting with ordinary people.

Labour's local election bloodbath: Will Starmer resign?

As the country goes to the polls in crucial local and devolved elections, The Daily T asks: Is Zack Polanski a foolish ideologue, a dangerous charlatan, or both?

Polanski recently shared a social media post criticising the police’s conduct when arresting a man suspected of stabbing two Jewish men in Golders Green. As his personal poll rating tanks, Camilla and Tim explain why Polanski’s position on anti-Semitism and the growing Islamist support for his party make him a danger to Britain.

Later, Sir John Curtice, Britain’s favourite pollster, tells The Daily T that Labour is facing its worst-ever result in London and the election of more pro-Gaza independents is “almost inevitable”.

‘Hypocrite!’: New Polanski scandal erupts during local elections

On Wednesday’s Daily T podcast, Camilla Tominey and Tim Stanley are in Kent to speak to Kemi Badenoch, the Conservative leader, on the final day of campaigning before the local elections.

Mrs Badenoch tells Camilla and Tim that Zack Polanski, the Greens’ leader, is not fit for public office.She says hers is the only party standing up for the Jewish community, and that Labour and Sir Keir Starmer are too afraid of upsetting their voters to take meaningful action on anti-Semitism.

Elsewhere, Camilla and Tim are joined by Rabbi Doron Birnbaum, who went viral with his response to the knife attacks in Golders Green.

Badenoch: Starmer's finished and Polanski's a joke – we're the only serious choice

With 48 hours to go before the local and devolved elections, the verdict seems to be in already: the public hates Sir Keir Starmer and the two main parties – and many will never vote for Labour or the Conservatives again.

That is according to new polling, which also also showed an appetite for NHS reform and higher taxes on big business and the rich. Camilla and Tim are joined by Scarlett Maguire and Lee Cain, the pollsters behind the findings, to understand why the public is losing faith in politics.

Meanwhile, they discuss the state of the campaign trail, with Kemi Badenoch clashing with a pro-Palestine heckler and Zack Polanski’s poll ratings tanking after his row with the police.

Starmer set for ‘catastrophic week’ as Labour vote collapses

In June 2023, the Titan submersible disaster saw a deep-sea sub vanish during a dive to the Titanic wreck, triggering a global search before it was confirmed the vessel had catastrophically imploded.

In this Daily T special, Tim Stanley and Rachel Johnson speak to Christine Dawood, who lost her husband Shahzada and her son Suleman in the disaster. 

In her memoir Ninety-Six Hours, she recounts the agonising wait aboard the support vessel as the search unfolded above the wreck of the RMS Titanic sinking, and reveals the heartbreaking decision that led her to give up her own seat on the submersible to her son, who had dreamed of making the dive.
