After finishing his A-Levels, George Finch had planned to go to university and become a history teacher. But instead, at the age of 19, he has become the youngest council leader in the UK, running Warwickshire County Council with a budget of £2bn. 

He has already set to work taking on the ‘blob’, but will he get the results Reform needs to show they’re ready to run a country? 

Camilla and Tim joined Finch at his office in Warwick to talk flags, migrant hotels and Farage, who he calls the most influential politician in the last 30 years.

George Finch: The teenage Reform council leader taking on the ‘blob’

The full transcripts of Ghislaine Maxwell’s interview with Donald Trump’s deputy attorney general have been published by the Justice Department. 

The move was reportedly designed to silence weeks of damaging headlines for the Trump administration - but instead it has reignited other questions surrounding the disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein death and the conspiracy theories that still surround the case. 

Mark Epstein, brother of Jeffrey Epstein, joins The Daily T to reveal why he believes his brother may not have taken his own life - but could have been murdered. He also discusses Epstein’s ties to President Donald Trump, Steve Bannon’s alleged Epstein documentary and how speaking out has changed his own life.

Did my brother Jeffrey Epstein really kill himself?

It’s not been quite the “annus horriblis” of 2024, but the Royal family have never been far from a headline so far this year.

There have been fresh allegations about the Duke of York’s private life and his relationship with Jeffrey Epstein in a new book by Andrew Lownie; the King and the Princess of Wales are both continuing to recover from cancer; rumours of a reconciliation with the exiled Prince Harry persist – and so does Meghan Markle’s “tone-deaf” Netflix show.

Camilla is joined for a special Daily T by Royal Editor Hannah Furness and Deputy Royal Editor Victoria Ward to bring us up to speed on all of the latest Royal news.

Is Meghan's Netflix series another 'exercise in narcissism'?

Reform UK leader Nigel Farage has unveiled a radical mass deportation plan, pledging to remove up to 600,000 migrants in his first term if he wins the next general election. 

Speaking at an Oxfordshire aircraft hangar, Farage called illegal migration a “national emergency” and has promised to take Britain out of the European Convention on Human Rights, repeal the Human Rights Act, and suspend the Refugee Convention for five years as the number of channel crossings rise. 

Camilla was at the event to hear the announcement and speaks to Deputy Leader Richard Tice and Kent County Council Leader Linden Kemkaran about the party’s hardline immigration plans and why Farage has warned of a “genuine threat to public order” if politicians fail to act.

Could a Farage government solve the small boats crisis?

On today’s Daily T, Grant Harrold recounts his extraordinary journey from a terraced house in North Lanarkshire to serving as butler to the then Prince of Wales at Highgrove.

Harrold’s boyhood fascination with the Queen set him on a path that ended with a critical role in the inner sanctum of every day Royal life, and he tells The Daily T how a young Prince Harry dropped water bombs on him, how the Queen’s mischievous nature saw him sprinting along a corridor with her at Charles’ residence in Scotland, and how Prince Philip turned the air blue after the Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s wedding in 2018.

He also states his belief that, although having left the household by then, Harry and Meghan’s unflattering account of life in the Royal family “doesn’t ring right” to him.

The King's former butler on what life is really like in the Royal family

Inflation has reached its highest level since January 2024, fuelled by soaring air fares and rising food prices. 

Despite Keir Starmer’s repeated claims that Labour are bringing inflation down, the figures are saying otherwise, laying the ground for a tax grab from the Chancellor Rachel Reeves which will attack the middle-classes. 

Tim Stanley and Jacob Rees-Mogg discuss how we got into this mess, the latest immigration data, and Kemi Badenoch’s future as the leader of the Tories. 

And they’ll also be joined by Maurice Glasman, the Labour peer, academic and the man behind “Blue Labour”, who has spent years challenging his own party. He tells us what he thinks about Labour’s first year in Government, his latest trip to Ukraine and why phone snatchers should be publicly humiliated.

Jacob Rees Mogg and Maurice Glasman: Britain must lead on Ukraine & Labour's working class disaster

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.

The Chancellor’s much-anticipated spending review is a day away, with extra cash expected for defence, health and education.

Are tax rises on the horizon to pay for all this? Camilla is joined by guest presenter Jacob Rees-Mogg, who says Labour doesn’t understand business and explains how Keir Starmer could survive sacking Rachel Reeves…

Plus, how two very different rows about immigration triggered riots in Ballymena, North Ireland and in LA.
