  • 2832 - ‘Always whingeing’: King’s former aide slams Harry & Meghan for playing ‘blame game’

    In today’s episode of The Royal T, Camilla Tominey and Hannah Furness speak to Dickie Arbiter, Queen Elizabeth II’s former press secretary, after Harry and Meghan’s return to the UK. Mr Arbiter takes issue with Prince Harry’s claim that Uganda pulled out of the Invictus Games after the King’s letter described them as “private citizens”, and claims the Sussexes are “blaming everybody for their ills”. They also discuss the Duke and Duchess’s recent return to the UK, and ask Mr Arbiter how Prince Harry and Prince William have handled their roles as royals differently over the years. Arbiter also shares his experiences handling press communications for the Palace, and recalls anecdotes involving royal figures such as Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor and the late Diana, Princess of Wales.

  • 2830 - Another Burnham bungle: Out of depth PM refuses to answer Qs at PMQs

    In today’s episode of The Daily T, Camilla Tominey and Tim Stanley dissect Andy Burnham’s performance at his second-ever appearance at Prime Minister’s Questions. They analyse Mr Burnham’s jovial responses to other questions from MPs in the Commons, and deliberate whether he is a “continuity Keir” – as he was labelled in today’s Questions – or in fact, even worse. Camilla and Tim also discuss the PM’s response to being challenged by Kemi Badenoch, the Tory leader, on how the Government would find the money to meet defence spending targets, to which he insisted that welfare would not be cut to fund it.
