Are judges fuelling Britain’s migration crisis?

The Telegraph has revealed that a family of six Palestinians seeking to flee Gaza has been granted the right to live in the UK using a scheme meant for Ukrainian refugees. The Home Office initially rejected their application, but a judge overruled the decision as it breached their rights under the ECHR.It is an immigration tribunal decision which comes hot on the heels of the Albanian criminal whose deportation was halted in part because of his son’s distaste for foreign chicken nuggets.Kamal and Camilla ask whether this ruling will open the floodgates for mass migration, and pose the question - who is really in control of our borders, Parliament or the judiciary?They also reflect on Kemi Badenoch’s performance at Prime Minister’s Questions this lunchtime, as the Tory leader took the chance to grill Keir Starmer on the decision to allow the Gazan family to settle here.Read: Court gives Gazans right to settle in UKThe best (and worst) Home Counties, ranked and ratedProducer: Lilian FawcettSenior Producer: John CadiganPlanning Editor: Venetia RaineyExecutive Producer: Louisa WellsSocial Media Producer: Rachel DuffyVideo Editor: Valerie BrowneEditor: Camilla TomineyOriginal music by Goss Studio Hosted on Acast.

How Labour became the real nasty party

Keir Starmer and his mates were only too happy to play the role of the moral arbiters in opposition.But after constant accusations of cronyism last year, and now health minister Andrew Gwynne’s sacking for a string of racist, sexist and ageist messages posted in an MPs' WhatsApp group, are Labour at risk of drowning in a sea of hypocrisy? Are they now The Nasty Party, a label historically reserved for the Tories?Kamal and Camilla also reflect on yesterday’s interview with Kemi Badenoch after The Daily T inbox filled up with your feedback, and mark fifty years since Margaret Thatcher became Conservative leader...twin-set and pearls at the ready!We want to hear from you!

Kemi Badenoch: I will never get into bed with Farage

Kemi Badenoch has ruled out signing a pact with Nigel Farage’s Reform UK, saying the party’s manifesto promises “didn’t add up”.Speaking exclusively to the Daily T to mark 100 days as Leader of the Opposition, Badenoch said, “I am the custodian of an institution that has existed for nigh on 200 years...I can’t just treat it like it’s a toy and have pacts and mergers.”Badenoch also called for a UK version of DOGE, Elon Musk’s government efficiency drive in the United States, and said the Conservatives risk losing all their remaining council seats in the this year’s local elections.We want to hear from you!

And it clearly didn’t go well.Kamal and Camilla speak to a clearly angry Ms Birbalsingh about what happened at the meeting, why the government wants to centralise control of education and why standards will be ‘hit badly’ under Labour’s planned reforms.Plus, the Bank of England has cut interest rates from 4.75 to 4.5% - Kamal explains why this is good for our mortgages, but bad for Rachel Reeves...Vote here in our poll on whether Kemi Badenoch is doing a good job at Conservative leaderProducer: Lilian FawcettSenior Producer: John CadiganPlanning Editor: Venetia RaineyExecutive Producer: Louisa WellsSocial Media Producer: Ji-Min LeeVideo Editor: Andy MackenzieEditor: Camilla TomineyOriginal music by Goss Studio Hosted on Acast.

Can Trump Make Gaza Great Again?

Even by Donald Trump’s standards, it’s pretty out there.During a visit by Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu to Washington, the President declared that he wanted the US to “take over” the Gaza Strip, resettling the almost two million Palestinians who live there to build what he called the “Riviera of the Middle East”.Kamal and Camilla ask Middle East analyst Sanam Vakil whether Trump’s desire to add Gaza to his property development portfolio is even possible, and what it could mean for regional politics.Plus, Kamal was at the press conference held by the families of the Nottingham attack victims. It came on the day NHS England released a report into the myriad of failings by a myriad of authorities during the treatment of Valdo Calocane in the years leading up to his sickening attack.We want to hear from you!

The new evidence that could exonerate Lucy Letby

‘We did not find any murders’. Those are the damning words of world-renowned neonatologist Dr Shoo Lee, one of a panel of experts questioning the evidence used against convicted child-killer Lucy Letby.The seven babies were not murdered, they concluded from extensive new evidence, but died either from natural causes or poor medical care.Camilla and Kamal were at the press conference with David Davis, the MP leading the charge for Letby’s case to be reviewed, and the Telegraph’s science editor Sarah Knapton.They ask: is this one of the gravest miscarriages of justice in British history? And is medical negligence at the Counter of Chester Hospital really to blame for those infants’ deaths?The Daily T on Lucy Letby:David Davis details his concerns about the trial of Lucy Letby: https://youtu.be/e-AWvza_KmEIs it “crass” to question Lucy Letby’s guilt?: https://youtu.be/5_B7ivaaiucLetby Lawyers seek fresh appeal: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NXvhMc_wg7QProducer: Lilian FawcettSenior Producer: John CadiganPlanning Editor: Venetia RaineyExecutive Producer: Louisa WellsSocial Media Producer: Rachel DuffyCamera Operator/Video Editor: Andy MackenzieVideo Editor: Valerie BrowneEditor: Camilla TomineyOriginal music by Goss Studio Hosted on Acast.

Trump's tariff war: madness or masterstroke?

President Trump looks to have started an all-out trade war with his closest neighbours, after sticking a 25pc tariff on imports from Canada and Mexico.He’s also put a 10pc levy on Chinese goods, and said he “absolutely” intends to impose tariffs on the European Union as well.The intentions of these protectionist policies? To crack down on illegal immigration and the cross-border supply of opioids like fentanyl, as well as the prioritising of American industry. But will tariffs actually have the opposite effect and drive up inflation and thereby the prices of goods for everyday Americans? Tim Stanley puts forward the case for Trump’s approach whilst Kamal argues that the net effect on the US economy will be negative. Camilla isn’t sure either way.Read:Trump’s trade war isn’t as mad as it seems - Tim StanleyProducer: Lilian FawcettSenior Producer: John CadiganPlanning Editor: Venetia RaineyExecutive Producer: Louisa WellsSocial Media Producer: Rachel DuffyVideo Editor: James EnglandStudio Operator: Meghan SearleEditor: Camilla TomineyOriginal music by Goss Studio Hosted on Acast.
