    How to save Brexit, with Boris’s negotiator David Frost

    This week marks five years since Britain formally left the European Union, after four years and three Prime Ministers worth of post-referendum negotiations.


    But as the anniversary comes around, so too does new polling from YouGov, revealing that only 11% of Brits see Brexit as more of a success than a failure, and that 55% say the UK was wrong to vote to leave the EU in the first place.


    Faced with a Brexit that doesn't seem to be delivering for those who voted either for or against it, Camilla and Kamal ask David Frost - Chief Brexit Negotiator under Boris Johnson - how it can be rescued.

    Rachel Reeves set for a crash landing

    The Chancellor has given the government’s backing to a third runway at Heathrow Airport, in yet another relaunch speech this morning.


    Speaking at a factory in Oxfordshire, Rachel Reeves reaffirmed Labour’s commitment to their growth strategy, announcing a raft of major new infrastructure projects alongside Heathrow including the redevelopment of Old Trafford, turning Oxford and Cambridge into “Europe’s Silicon Valley” and the much-delayed Lower Thames Crossing.


    But do projects that we might not see the fruition of for decades solve the dire economic situation which faces Rachel Reeves today?


    Camilla and Kamal discuss just that, and speak to Chief Executive of the Wine Society Steve Finlan, who has grim news from the frontline of small businesses.

    How the Home Office failed on extremism

    A leaked Home Office review has recommended that the Government change its approach to extremism, focusing less on "ideologies of concern" and more on "behaviours", including extreme misogyny and environmental extremism.


    The review also pushes for the police to record more non-crime hate incidents in the vein of the thought policing that happened to our Telegraph colleague Allison Pearson.


    Kamal and Camilla ask what on earth is going on at the basket case that is the Home Office, and explain why civil servants are responsible.


    And it all comes on the same day that new figures suggest the UK population will hit 72.5 million by 2032 - all fuelled by net migration. So has the Home Office also failed when it comes to policing our borders?

    Are we forgetting the Holocaust?

    Today marks the 80th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz concentration camp. More than a million people - mostly Jews - were murdered at the camp, with some six million Jews in total systematically killed by the Nazis during the Holocaust between 1941 and 1945.


    The King today became the first British monarch to set foot on the site as he joined the commemorations on Holocaust Memorial Day, and Kamal and Camilla spoke to Royal Editor Hannah Furness for the latest from his trip.


    They also spoke to Gideon Falter from the Campaign Against Antisemitism, with antisemitic attacks reaching a record high in the UK since war in Gaza began, and half of all British Jews having considered leaving the country.


    Plus, The Daily Telegraph’s legendary interviewer Mick Brown was in the studio to talk through his interview with the equally legendary Dame Joanna Lumley.

    The Daily T Investigates: The AstraZeneca vaccine | Part 2

    When patients were admitted to hospital with unusual symptoms in 2021, their families started to ask questions.


    Dr Stephen Wright’s family were initially told he had died after having a stroke. But when his parents saw an article linking rare blood clots to the AstraZeneca Covid jab, they knew they had found the answer.


    In this second instalment of The Daily T Investigates: The AstraZeneca vaccine, we hear from one of the doctors who discovered the new condition, and Stephen’s family, who unearthed a bombshell about his death.

    Inside the courtroom as Southport killer is sentenced to 52 years

    It is likely that Axel Rudakubana “will be in custody for all his life”, the judge who sentenced the Southport child killer said today.


    Mr Justice Goose handed down a minimum 52-year term for the brutal murder of three young girls in Southport last year and the attempted murder of several more. Kamal and Camilla reflect on a shocking crime that rocked the nation and its impact on the devastated families - and a community.


    Plus, hear from the Telegraph journalist who checked into rehab…for a social media addiction. Lorna Perry’s obsession with her phone was getting in the way of her relationships and hobbies. She shares how she learned to cut down on her scrolling - and our hosts reveal how much time they spend on their phones…

    Is Prince Harry's anti-media crusade finally over?

    The Duke of Sussex has reached a shock legal settlement of at least £10 million with the publisher of The Sun, despite having previously vowed to go to court.


    News Group Newspapers issued an apology, admitting to “serious intrusion" into the Prince's private life and "incidents of unlawful activities" by private investigators working for The Sun. But is this the end of Harry's fight with the press?


    As a royal editor for 13 years and still closely connected to royal circles, Camilla gives her take on the settlement; where Prince Harry lost the public's support in his campaign against the tabloids; and what it was like to report on the Sussexes.

    Trump shows Starmer what real leadership looks like

    Donald Trump is officially back in power, and the 47th president wasted no time on his first day in office, announcing a string of executive orders that rolled back much of Joe Biden’s agenda.


    Camilla and Kamal reflect on the highlights of an extraordinary inauguration with The Telegraph's US editor Tony Diver, as well as the backlash against Elon Musk after he was accused of twice performing a Nazi salute at a post-inauguration rally. They also speak to Charley Cooper, a senior defence advisor under George W. Bush, Charley Cooper, about what ‘America First’ could look like on the world stage.


    Plus, after Keir Starmer's Government announces an inquiry into the Southport murders, they ask how our agencies and institutions let killer Axel Rudakubana slip through the cracks.

    What we now know about Southport killer Axel Rudakubana

    Axel Rudakubana has pleaded guilty to the murder of three young girls in a knife attack at a Taylor Swift-themed dance class in Southport.


    Kamal and Camilla reflect on the horrific events of July last year and ask what the subsequent unrest tells us about our society. They also speak to our Crime Editor Martin Evans who is now able to report more details about Rudakubana’s extremely troubled past, and get his reaction to Nigel Farage's claim that the riots were caused by "withholding of information".


    Plus, it’s inauguration day in Washington DC as Donald Trump gets set to become the president of the United States for the second time. Kamal and Camilla pour over his rally speech from inauguration eve and attempt to work out what a second MAGA agenda is going to look like.

    Piers Morgan on Trump, Meghan, and if he would interview Tommy Robinson

    He’s one of Britain’s best known - and most controversial - journalists, famed for his combative style and for interviewing people other outlets won’t touch. 


    Now, after a three-decade relationship with Rupert Murdoch’s media empire, he is going it alone with his own YouTube show, Piers Morgan Uncensored.


    In an exclusive interview for the Daily T, Piers Morgan talks about the re-election of his friend Donald Trump and says he expects the Republican will win a Nobel Peace Prize for ending the war in Ukraine within two years.


    He also tells Kamal and Camilla that Nigel Farage has “a very good chance” of being PM after the next election and says he would interview EDL co-founder Tommy Robinson.

    Badenoch wins on a grooming inquiry - but is she winning over voters?

    In her first major speech of the year, the Conservative leader has owned up to Tory mistakes of the past and said immigrants who “don’t want to integrate into British culture…shouldn’t be here”. Kemi Badenoch has also pocketed a win over grooming gangs, as the Government was pressured into calling a series of new inquiries.


    But - Kamal and Camilla ask - is anyone actually listening to the Tories, or is Reform making all the noise? And does Britain have the patience to let Badenoch rebuild the party?


    Plus, they discuss the agreed ceasefire in the Middle East with the Telegraph’s defence and foreign affairs editor Con Coughlin. Has Trump’s involvement positioned him as a peacemaker upon his return to office, and could he even pull off a similar win in Ukraine?
