'Harry wouldn’t have married Meghan if Diana was alive' – ex Royal butler Paul Burrell

It’s the fourth anniversary of the murder of Sir David Amess, the Conservative MP who was killed by an Islamic State sympathiser during a surgery in his Southend constituency. At Prime Minister’s Questions this lunchtime, Sir Keir Starmer paid tribute to a “much-loved”, “kind” and “generous” man and talked of the “huge loss” many across the house still feel.Watching on from her home in Los Angeles was Sir David’s daughter, Katie, and she tells Camilla Tominey and Tim Stanley on today’s Daily T of her disgust at hearing the Prime Minister paying such a fulsome tribute when he’d “ignored (her) letters” and had been “so disrespectful” after she’d “pleaded with him to hold an inquiry” into the failings that allowed Sir David’s murderer to slip through the net.Camilla and Tim also reflect on the questions that still need to be answered about the China spying scandal, as well as Sir Keir calling for a calming of the political rhetoric whilst simultaneously accusing Reform of being “Kremlin cronies”.► Sign up to our most popular newsletter, From the Editor.

The Government is under huge pressure to explain why the high-profile trial of two men accused of spying for China collapsed just weeks before it was due to begin.Former parliamentary researcher Christopher Cash and Christopher Berry were charged under the Official Secrets Act, accused of gathering sensitive information for Beijing between December 2021 and February 2023. Both men have always maintained their innocence. Now, ministers face mounting criticism after the Crown Prosecution Service said the case failed because key evidence linking China to national security threats was never provided. In today’s episode of The Daily T, Camilla and Jacob Rees-Mogg discuss how a collapsed spy case could spell serious trouble for Starmer’s Government. We’re also joined by Tory MP Tom Tugendhat who points out that his party repeatedly described China as a threat to the country whilst in Government. And should Westminster really be deciding how people discipline their own children? As acting legend Michael Caine and the former England footballer Alan Shearer join calls for Keir Starmer to ban smacking, Camilla and JRM share their own experiences of disciplining their children (and you might be surprised by Jacob’s response).► Sign up to our most popular newsletter, From the Editor.

It was an astonishing moment in the White House last night, as Donald Trump was interrupted by his secretary of state Marco Rubio during a press conference discussing radical ‘Antifa’ groups with some major news - a peace deal in Gaza was close to being struck.If Trump can pull off peace in the region, then calls for him to win the Nobel Peace Prize, which happens to be announced on Friday, will only grow louder.On today’s Daily T podcast, we speak to Gili Roman, whose sister Yarden was amongst the first hostages to be released by Hamas in November 2023, Israeli deputy foreign minister Sharren Haskel, and Trump’s great friend Piers Morgan who all agree on one thing - the President must win it.► Sign up to our most popular newsletter, From the Editor.

On the final day of Conservative conference, Kemi Badenoch has pulled out a speech that could well save the Tories.Camilla and Tim say the performance secured Badenoch's job (at least for now), issued a clear message to Robert Jenrick to "get back in his box" and dropped a "big Conservative policy bomb" in the shape of a pledge to scrap stamp duty.They also spoke to Tory members as they left the hall after the speech as well as shadow business secretary Andrew Griffith who said Badenoch's performance showed the Conservatives are "on the side of people who aspire".► Sign up to our most popular newsletter, From the Editor.

Sir David Davis, the former Brexit secretary, has called on Shabana Mahmood, the Home Secretary, to provide the full reasoning behind the decision to cut funding for Nigel Farage’s security detail.Despite being a political rival of Mr Farage, the veteran Tory MP tells Camilla Tominey and Tim Stanley on today’s Daily T that the Government’s “premeditated” labelling of the Reform leader as racist at Labour’s party conference may “heighten the risk” he faces and that his role as a high-profile politician means he deserves “serious protection”.Elsewhere, Camilla and Tim also look ahead to the Conservative Party conference, which gets under way this weekend, and ask the question – should Kemi Badenoch mention Nigel Farage or not? ► Sign up to our most popular newsletter, From the Editor.
