West Midlands Police stand accused of lying in order to justify the decision to ban Maccabi Tel Aviv fans from a Europa League game against Aston Villa at Villa Park in November.
The force had cited concerns over potential violence in their initial decision, but it has now emerged that members of the local Muslim community in Aston were preparing to arm themselves if Maccabi fans had come to the game.
Jewish broadcaster and Aston Villa fan Jonny Gould tells Camilla and Tim that Craig Guildford, the Chief Constable of West Midlands Police, should resign after a “monstrous” decision that “victim-blamed” Israeli fans.
Camilla and Tim also reflect on the news that the Met Police managed to allow an accused child rapist allowed into the force because he ticked a diversity box.

The chances of London electing a Reform mayor may have seemed like a pipe dream to some, or a nightmare to others, just a few years ago.
But now self-styled “vigilante mum” of seven, criminal prosecutor and basketball player Laila Cunningham could be about to give Sadiq Khan a serious run for his money.
The newly-announced Reform candidate for mayor joins Camilla and Tim to talk about chasing down her children’s muggers, her plans for an “all-out war” on crime in the capital, and taking on the ULEZ.
Later she reacts to attacks on her over her Muslim identity, weighs in on the threat of Islamism, and calls for a ban on the burka.

In Reform’s first press conference of the year, Nigel Farage revealed that “vigilante mum” and Reform councillor Laila Cunningham will be the party’s candidate for the London mayoral elections in 2028.
Camilla and Tim reflect on whether Cunningham’s candicacy leaves Sadiq Khan vulnerable at the next election, and also ask Farage about Reform’s recent dip in the polls and The Telegraph’s “Save Our Pubs” campaign.

Not content with having surrendered British fishing rights in an extraordinary “reset deal” with the EU last year, Keir Starmer is preparing to move Britain even closer to Brussels in 2026.
The Prime Minister is drawing up a new bill allowing for closer alignment with Europe's single market.
Camilla and Tim are joined by Sunday Telegraph editor Allister Heath, who says Labour are “desperate if they think rejoining will get them votes” as the EU is “in catastrophic decline”.

Sir Keir Starmer is caught between a rock and a hard place.
Not wanting to upset Donald Trump by criticising his removal of Nicolas Maduro in Venezuela, but also a Europhile at heart and a fan of international law and order, it’s made for a tricky start.
Add to this his ever-growing domestic problems, Starmer’s promise that he’ll be PM this time next year is looking fanciful.
Camilla and Tim are joined by John Bolton, Trump’s former national security adviser, to look at why the US deposed Maduro, the foreign policy aims of Trump 2.0 and whether he can legitimately make a claim for Greenland.

John’s investigation keeps coming up against brick walls - and five decades on, so does Katherine’s. When Kenya admits to a cover-up it begins to make sense. But it’s just the tip of the iceberg. Who exactly were the authorities covering up for, and was the British government involved? As her reporting comes to a close, Katherine celebrates a young woman whose life was cut short; and at the eleventh hour, a chat with a Mi6 agent sheds new light on Julie’s case.

A whistleblower comes forward claiming to have witnessed everything and pointing the finger at someone nobody expected: Jonathan Moi, the president’s son. It's almost too far-fetched to be believed, but his name starts coming up again, and again. An incriminating scrap of paper. A police statement locked up for decades. Rumours of a romance. Katherine investigates the evidence.

On a cold February day in 1988, Julie Ward sets off on the journey of a lifetime from England, through Africa. She establishes a new life in the bustling capital of Kenya but mysteriously disappears while on safari - leaving her plane ticket back to England untouched on a table in her Nairobi home. When her father John flies to Kenya to track her down, he finds a gruesome crime scene in the Masai Mara that throws up more questions than it answers.

Christmas can be a minefield. When should presents be opened; how to separate unruly guests to avoid a political row; and is it ok to wear pyjamas in front of your in-laws?
For all the answers to these matters of great import, Camilla and Tim are joined by Britain’s poshest man and friend of the podcast Jacob Rees-Mogg, who takes us inside Christmas at his family home in Somerset.
Plus, etiquette expert Laura Windsor is on hand to explain how to deal with a drunken uncle – and why Buck’s Fizz should be avoided at all costs.

This episode was recorded before the release of the latest tranche of Jeffrey Epstein documents by Donald Trump’s justice department.
The year of 2025 will go down as the year the House of York finally collapsed.
The Duke of York was stripped of his remaining royal titles and protections after his damaging emails with convicted child sex offender Jeffrey Epstein were exposed. Even Sarah Ferguson was dragged back into a scandal.
Camilla is joined by Royal biographer Andrew Lownie and Hannah Furness, the Telegraph’s Royal editor, to examine how things fell apart for Prince Andrew; the Palace’s shifting stance; and what his future may hold.
They also assess the cautious re-emergence of Prince Harry after a security ruling U-turn and rare meeting with King Charles; Meghan Markle’s controversies; and the Prince and Princess of Wales's growing influence.

It’s been a year of political chaos, controversy and very few highs.
Camilla and Tim are joined by Telegraph columnists Allister Heath and Annabel Denham to look back at the biggest political stories of 2025 – from Labour’s annus horribilis to the rise of Reform and the return of Donald Trump.
They ask whether the Prime Minister and his Chancellor can survive into 2026; if Nigel Farage will make it to Number 10; and what next for the BBC after back-to-back scandals.
From Westminster to Washington, this is The Daily T’s definitive political review of the year.

King Charles has spoken out in support of persecuted Christians around the world after attending a service at Westminster Abbey dedicated to those facing violence and discrimination for their faith.
It comes amid renewed international focus on the treatment of Christians, after Donald Trump threatened action against Nigeria over killings, and comedian Bill Maher described the situation there as a “genocide”.
Tim Stanley is joined by Father Benedict Kiely who runs Nasarean.org, a charity that advocates on behalf of Christians and helps them to stay in their countries by funding start-ups. They talk about the Middle East, what is happening in Nigeria and the status of Christians today.

It’s the Government’s latest nanny state intervention. Teachers will now be charged with educating boys about misogyny amid concerns over the influence of self-described misogynist Andrew Tate.
But whose responsibility is it to police toxic masculinity, parents or teachers? Camilla and Rachel Johnson discuss the new policy and the associated issue of toxic femininity, as typified by the likes of porn star Bonnie Blue.
Plus, our EU-loving Prime Minister is splashing half a billion pounds on taking the UK back into the Erasmus scheme. Camilla says it’s overpriced and “abject nonsense”, while Rachel says it’s a boon for British soft power.

The US president is suing the BBC for a whopping $10bn, and Camilla and Tim are referred to in the lawsuit.
Donald Trump alleges he was defamed by Panorama and Newsnight’s misleading editing of his speech ahead of the Jan 6 2021 Capitol riot.
Former BBC legal eagle Joshua Rozenberg explains the merits of settling or fighting Trump’s suit to the bitter end.
Plus, resident doctors are going on strike just as the NHS faces a tidal wave of severe flu cases. We hear how the union has been captured by militant Leftists, and ask if medics should be banned from striking altogether.

The Bondi Beach shooting in Sydney, where two gunmen killed at least 15 people, has been called the worst atrocity against Jews outside of Israel since Oct 7.
The victims included a 10-year-old girl called Matilda, along with a British-born rabbi, a retired police officer and a Holocaust survivor.
The attackers are believed to have an Islamic State link, with two IS flags found in the gunmen’s car. Naveed Akram, one of the perpetrators, has previously been investigated by Australia’s domestic intelligence agency, ASIO.
The harrowing event has sparked immediate political debate, with Tony Abbott, the former Australian prime minister, calling it a “day of shame” for the country. Chris Minns, the New South Wales premier, has announced a “comprehensive investigation” into the rise of antisemitism.
Camilla and Tim are joined by Lord Wolfson to share his personal reaction to the attack as a Jewish man and its impact on his community as he says Jews like him have been warning about an attack like this for years.

Michael Gove, Nicky Campbell and Andrew Pierce have all forged highly successful careers in journalism and broadcasting, with Gove serving many years in Government too.
But the men also share a very particular childhood experience: being adopted.
In this special episode, Camilla sits down with the the three journalists to understand how that fact has forged their lives and careers.
They explain feeling different from their peers growing up; finding their birth mothers (or choosing not to); and how wanting to prove to their parents that they were right to adopt them became “a driving force” for their careers in the public eye.
