The Daily T

With wildfires raging across Europe on today’s episode of The Daily T, Tim Stanley is joined by Lord Frost, unaffiliated peer and senior fellow at the Institute of Economic Affairs, to unpack the deep political fractures surrounding climate change, rising temperatures, and the future of net zero.

After intense backlash to his recent column advocating for a conservative embrace of the renewables revolution, Tim challenges the Right’s reluctance to confront environmental realities – from severe UK droughts to the growing toll on rural farming communities.

Tim and David explore the economic viability of wind and solar compared to nuclear power, the perils of ideological “catastrophism,” and whether the key to handling extreme weather lies in central planning or the wealth and innovation of a free-market economy.

In this episode of The Daily T, Camilla Tominey and Tim Stanley head to the sunny climes of Clacton-on-Sea to join Nigel Farage on the campaign trail.
On home turf, Mr Farage discusses everything from offshore wind turbines and seaside economies to the rising security threats facing politicians on the Right. He hits back at claims that he is purely a campaigner rather than a manager, weighs in on Count Binface, his opponent, and reveals his unique method for keeping Britain tidy.
Elsewhere, Camilla and Tim take a spin on the pier rides and speak to Clacton’s residents to gauge whether the “Farage factor” still holds strong. They also interview the John Stevens, from the Rejoin EU party, on what it is like going up against the Reform party leader.

In this episode of The Daily T, Tim Stanley and Poppy Coburn discuss the state of free speech in the UK following Allison Pearson’s victory against Essex Police’s crime commissioner and The Met Police confirming it will take no further action against Zack Polanski for sharing a post that appeared to threaten Nigel Farage. Is there a double-standard in the way different views are policed?

Tim Stanley and Poppy Coburn also speak to ex-ITV This Morning editor Martin Frizell about his wife Fiona Phillips’ Alzheimer’s diagnosis, and what he wants to see from Andy Burnham’s social care reforms.

In this episode of The Daily T, Tim Stanley and Poppy Coburn are joined by Associate Editor Gordon Rayner and Royal Editor Hannah Furness to discuss the latest in Prince Harry’s legal costs.

The Duke of Sussex and his co-claimants face a potential legal bill of more than £18m after their “speculative” High Court privacy claim against the Daily Mail’s publisher was wholly dismissed.

Tim and Poppy also react to Andy Burnham’s speech addressing Britain’s social care crisis, as he set out his ambition to create a national care service based on the NHS.
But as The Telegraph revealed, a new income tax is being considered among the options to fund this plan, so is the new Prime Minister about to U-turn on a Labour manifesto pledge already?
