    Ex-British Army chief: Trump's Ukraine plan has “echoes of the 1930s”

    The war in Ukraine is firmly back on the agenda of Western leaders. Keir Starmer was at a hastily organised European summit in Paris on Monday, as Russian and American negotiators prepare to hold talks in Saudi Arabia. Meanwhile the PM has announced he would be willing to put British troops on the ground in Ukraine as peacekeepers. But with military recruitment at historically low levels and defence spending languishing, is our diminished Army up to the job? Kamal and Gordon ask Lord Richard Dannatt, former head of the British Army, who says it is “outrageous” that Ukraine has been excluded from planned peace talks and suggests military spending should be boosted to 3.5% of GDP. Later, the Telegraph’s film critic Tim Robey reflects on a night of bad jokes and surprise results at the Baftas - and reveals which films are worth seeing. Read: Potentially putting Britons in harm’s way is a huge responsibility – but we must be ready to do our bit for Europe, Keir Starmer Munich shows time has run out.

    The moderate Imam taking on Labour – and the Muslim extremists

    Angela Rayner is planning to set up a council on Islamophobia, tasked with drawing up an official definition for anti-Muslim discrimination. But some senior political figures are worried that the Government could adopt the same definition as the Labour Party, which has been described as so widely drawn is curbs free speech. One of the people sounding the alarm is Dr Taj Hargey, a moderate Imam and scholar who is “deeply concerned” about the definition. He tells Kamal and Camilla it will close down open discussion of Islam and give extremists “a get out of jail free card”. Dr Hargey also explains why he says Islam has been “captured” by extremism and what liberal Muslim leaders can do about it.

    Trump-Putin talks leave Europe in 'a pre-war era'

    Well, he promised it and now he seems to be well on the way to delivering. Donald Trump held a phone call with Russia's Vladimir Putin and agreed to begin negotiations to end the war in Ukraine. Volodymyr Zelenskyy is due to meet with the US Defence Secretary and Vice President this week. But is Moscow the real winner here? Trump has said it wouldn't be 'practical' for Ukraine to join NATO, and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth suggested Ukraine won't return to its pre-2014 borders. Kamal and Camilla speak to former Conservative MP, Armed Forces Minister and Iraq and Afghanistan veteran James Heappey, who raises concerns that Ukrainians "will not be an equal partner" in the negotiations. Elsewhere, as the government agrees to a public inquiry into the Nottingham killer Valdo Calocane after a meeting with the victims' families, we're in Downing Street to speak to the brothers of two those who were tragically killed - Grace O’Malley Kumar and Barnaby Webber.

    Are judges fuelling Britain’s migration crisis?

    The Telegraph has revealed that a family of six Palestinians seeking to flee Gaza has been granted the right to live in the UK using a scheme meant for Ukrainian refugees. The Home Office initially rejected their application, but a judge overruled the decision as it breached their rights under the ECHR. It is an immigration tribunal decision which comes hot on the heels of the Albanian criminal whose deportation was halted in part because of his son’s distaste for foreign chicken nuggets. Kamal and Camilla ask whether this ruling will open the floodgates for mass migration, and pose the question - who is really in control of our borders, Parliament or the judiciary? They also reflect on Kemi Badenoch’s performance at Prime Minister’s Questions this lunchtime, as the Tory leader took the chance to grill Keir Starmer on the decision to allow the Gazan family to settle here.

    How Labour became the real nasty party

    Keir Starmer and his mates were only too happy to play the role of the moral arbiters in opposition. But after constant accusations of cronyism last year, and now health minister Andrew Gwynne’s sacking for a string of racist, sexist and ageist messages posted in an MPs' WhatsApp group, are Labour at risk of drowning in a sea of hypocrisy? Are they now The Nasty Party, a label historically reserved for the Tories? Kamal and Camilla also reflect on yesterday’s interview with Kemi Badenoch after The Daily T inbox filled up with your feedback, and mark fifty years since Margaret Thatcher became Conservative leader...twin-set and pearls at the ready!

    Kemi Badenoch: I will never get into bed with Farage

    Kemi Badenoch has ruled out signing a pact with Nigel Farage’s Reform UK, saying the party’s manifesto promises “didn’t add up”. Speaking exclusively to the Daily T to mark 100 days as Leader of the Opposition, Badenoch said, “I am the custodian of an institution that has existed for nigh on 200 years...I can’t just treat it like it’s a toy and have pacts and mergers.” Badenoch also called for a UK version of DOGE, Elon Musk’s government efficiency drive in the United States, and said the Conservatives risk losing all their remaining council seats in the this year’s local elections.

    Britain's strictest headteacher vs Bridget Phillipson

    Katharine Birbalsingh, who has become known as Britain’s strictest headteacher, has accused Education Secretary Bridget Phillipson of being a “Marxist” who “hates academies”. The head of Michaela Community School in Wembley, she wrote an open letter to Phillipson after they met this week to discuss Labour’s plans to reform the academy system. And it clearly didn’t go well. Kamal and Camilla speak to a clearly angry Ms Birbalsingh about what happened at the meeting, why the government wants to centralise control of education and why standards will be ‘hit badly’ under Labour’s planned reforms. Plus, the Bank of England has cut interest rates from 4.75 to 4.5% - Kamal explains why this is good for our mortgages, but bad for Rachel Reeves...
