The Daily T

The resignations have begun, putting Keir Starmer’s premiership teetering on the brink.

Victims minister Alex Davies-Jones joined safeguarding minister Jess Phillips this afternoon in standing down from government, as would-be challengers Wes Streeting and Andy Burnham work on their succession plans.

As Westminster waits on tenterhooks, Camilla and Tim are joined by suspended Labour MP Karl Turner who calls the situation “barmy” and offers the damning assessment that “ on the doorstep, Keir Starmer is more toxic than Jeremy Corbyn ever was.”

In the aftermath of catastrophic local election results for Labour, Sir Keir Starmer gave a speech to MPs on Monday in a desperate bid to retain their support.

But with his shabby outfit and outdated ideas, the Prime Minister only dug himself a deeper grave. Camilla and Tim catch up with the Telegraph’s Chief Political Commentator, Ben Riley-Smith, on the mood inside No 10 as challengers eye the premiership.

Plus, Green leader Zack Polanski has been caught out in another lie by the Telegraph. But will this latest revelation even matter to his voters?

After what's shaping up to be a Labour bloodbath, Camilla and Tim reflect on a nightmare set of local election results for Keir Starmer. With the Prime Minister taking the blame but refusing to step aside, they assess whether his Cabinet colleagues may well take the decision out of his hands.

As bad a night as it’s been for Labour, it’s been a great one for Reform. Camilla and Tim are joined by a jubilant Nigel Farage, who says his party’s remarkable taking back of the “red wall” is down to Starmer’s “weak and ruderless” leadership, and that Reform’s gains are down to the Labour Party of “London human rights lawyers” not connecting with ordinary people.

As the country goes to the polls in crucial local and devolved elections, The Daily T asks: Is Zack Polanski a foolish ideologue, a dangerous charlatan, or both?

Polanski recently shared a social media post criticising the police’s conduct when arresting a man suspected of stabbing two Jewish men in Golders Green. As his personal poll rating tanks, Camilla and Tim explain why Polanski’s position on anti-Semitism and the growing Islamist support for his party make him a danger to Britain.

Later, Sir John Curtice, Britain’s favourite pollster, tells The Daily T that Labour is facing its worst-ever result in London and the election of more pro-Gaza independents is “almost inevitable”.

On Wednesday’s Daily T podcast, Camilla Tominey and Tim Stanley are in Kent to speak to Kemi Badenoch, the Conservative leader, on the final day of campaigning before the local elections.

Mrs Badenoch tells Camilla and Tim that Zack Polanski, the Greens’ leader, is not fit for public office.She says hers is the only party standing up for the Jewish community, and that Labour and Sir Keir Starmer are too afraid of upsetting their voters to take meaningful action on anti-Semitism.

Elsewhere, Camilla and Tim are joined by Rabbi Doron Birnbaum, who went viral with his response to the knife attacks in Golders Green.
