The Daily T

Angela Rayner has finally resigned as Deputy Prime Minister and Housing Secretary, after days of ever-increasing pressure over the underpaying of stamp duty on the purchase of a second home in Hove.

Camilla Tominey and Tim Stanley bring you today’s Daily T from Reform UK’s party conference in Birmingham, where they spoke to deputy leader Richard Tice, Reform’s newest MP Sarah Pochin, and supporter and comedian Jim Davidson, as the news of Rayner’s resignation spread around the conference hall.

They also analyse Nigel Farage’s big speech, where he declared that Labour “are not fit to govern” and that “there is every chance now of a general election happening in 2027”. He went on to introduce the party’s latest defector - former Conservative MP and Culture Secretary, Nadine Dorries.

Farage rules as Rayner resigns

Angela Rayner is hanging on to her job by a thread. As fresh details emerged in The Daily Telegraph about how she used NHS compensation to fund the purchase of her second home, senior Labour figures looked to be distancing themselves from the Deputy Prime Minister.

Rachel Reeves made a point of telling broadcasters it is “on all of us” to understand tax rules, before No 10 refused to guarantee she would still be in post by the next general election.

Camilla and Tim look at the latest developments in Rayner’s tax scandal, and wonder whether she might resign imminently in order to overshadow tomorrow’s Reform party conference.

Elsewhere they’re joined by royal expert Valentine Low, whose new book Power and the Palace - which has been making headlines for the last week - sheds a fascinating new light on the relationship between the monarchy and Downing Street.

Rayner clings on - but for how long?

Angela Rayner has referred herself to the government’s ethics adviser after admitting to underpaying tax on her second home, casting serious doubt on her future.

Rayner, the Deputy Prime Minister and Housing Secretary, gave a tearful interview to Sky News this lunchtime in which she said she had considered resigning following days of ever-mounting questions over an unpaid £40,000 stamp duty bill on her second home in Hove.

In this episode of The Daily T, Camilla Tominey and Tim Stanley look at whether Rayner could or should survive, as well as just how much damage the whole sorry saga inflicts on Keir Starmer’s already badly-listing government.

They also pour over this lunchtime’s Prime Minister’s Questions, where Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch was widely criticised for choosing to focus on rising government borrowing costs rather than the story of the moment.

Will ‘tax-avoiding’ Rayner stay or go?

The British countryside is “overwhelmingly white” and needs more halal food, a report has claimed.

Camilla and Tim ask Corinne Fowler, one of the co-authors, about the claim that ethnic minority people experience a “psychological burden” from “navigating predominantly white spaces” in rural Britain.

They are also joined by Wilfred Emmanuel-Jones, aka The Black Farmer, who says expecting urban habits and ideas in the countryside is “the height of madness”.

Plus, break out the hummus: the Green Party has a new leader. Tim went to the announcement so Camilla didn’t have to, and explains where the hard-Left party might go under former hypnotherapist Zack Polanski.

Is the British countryside racist?

Labour have marked the return to school with a mini-reshuffle in Downing Street, elevating a handful of ‘star pupils’ into key Government roles. 

Among them is Treasury minister Darren Jones, now promoted to Chief Secretary to the Prime Minister – a new position with a seat at the Cabinet table.

But the shake-up risks undermining Chancellor Rachel Reeves, already braced for a bruising autumn Budget and the likelihood of major tax rises. Tim and Camilla discuss the political manoeuvring inside No 10.

And as Reform UK ramp up their attacks on local government pension “waste,” Camilla speaks to Zia Yusuf, head of the party’s DOGE unit, about what they’ve uncovered and whether whispers of an early general election are true.

Starmer hangs Reeves out to dry again — is the Chancellor toast?

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 Royal Butler: My remarkable life of royal service’ by Grant Harrold is published by Seven Dials on August 28 2025
