  • 2883 - ‘It’s fake!’: Burnham accused of inflating defence spend as he hits 100 days as PM

    In Tuesday’s episode of The Daily T, Tim Stanley and Jacob Rees-Mogg are joined by Sir Ben Wallace, the former Tory defence secretary. Sir Ben has accused the Government of falsifying spending on the defence budget in order to appear closer to reaching the pledged 3 per cent of GDP by 2030. He criticised the Government for taking only a superficial step towards the target and falling behind its European allies. He said: “Germany, Poland, the Baltics, Scandinavians, have put their money where their mouth is. Denmark even cancelled a public holiday to increase tax revenues to fund it. We have done press releases.”

    Tim and Jacob also discuss Andy Burnham’s first 100 days in office, exploring the difficulties associated with coming in in mid-term. They explore the changes he has made and the promises he has made for the future – and whether a snap election could be on the horizon.

  • 2882 - Burnham’s Budget gamble: Why the PM could trigger a snap election next week

    In today’s bonus episode of The Daily T, Tim Stanley and Jacob Rees-Mogg analyse the prospect of an early general election as rumours of the major parties preparing to campaign swirl in Westminster.

    The pair analyse the likelihood of Andy Burnham triggering a snap vote following this week’s Budget, and how big of a gamble it would be for the Prime Minister to go to the polls before Christmas.

    Tim and Jacob also discuss Mr Burnham’s “ideological Europhilia” as the PM seemingly opens the door to EU freedom of movement as he considers options for a new relationship with Brussels.

  • 2881 - BBC bias exposed: Producer gets £400k payout after anti-Semitism claims

    On Monday’s episode of The Daily T,Tim Stanley and Jacob Rees-Mogg are joined by Lucie Kon, an award-winning Jewish documentary-maker who won a £400,000 payout from the BBC over claims she was the victim of anti-Semitism and was bullied out of the broadcaster.

    Kon said she had been victimised after the Oct 7 terrorist attacks by colleagues who said Zionists such as her were “evil”.

    The BBC was also accused of adjusting her credit on several works, including Mr Nobody against Putin, for which she won an Oscar, with Kon saying: “My name was hidden in the middle of the credits.” As part of the non-financial remedies in the settlement, the BBC will give her name more prominence in the credits.

  • 2879 - The Budget will backfire: Two ex-chancellors slam Labour’s plans

    On Friday’s episode of The Daily T, Camilla Tominey and Tim Stanley are joined by Sir Jeremy Hunt and Lord Lamont of Lerwick to discuss John Healey’s upcoming Budget.

    The two former chancellors of the exchequer examine why Labour’s likely approach of raising taxes on banks and businesses could stifle economic growth, and why reducing the national debt is so important.


    Sir Jeremy is critical of Labour’s public spending and argues that reform is urgently needed. “I think we should have a new rule, a fiscal rule, that outside emergencies governments will never increase public spending by faster than the growth rate of the economy,” he says.


    The two former chancellors also answer a question Tim was desperate to ask: did they drink alcohol while delivering their Budget speeches at the despatch box?
