The Daily T: Has Reform just imploded?
Just ten minutes after we published today's Daily T podcast about Reform and Nigel Farage's hopes of pulling off a stunning victory in Scotland's Hamilton by-election, a bombshell dropped. Party chairman Zia Yusuf, the businessman who Farage said had professionalised the party since his arrival last year — and attributed many of their recent successes to — had resigned. The news came after a row during Prime Minister's Questions on Wednesday when Reform's newest MP, Sarah Pochin, asked Keir Starmer whether it was time to ban the burka. Yusuf publicly criticised the intervention as 'dumb' and 'nothing to do with me'. He then announced his shock departure while the polls were still open in Hamilton. Gordon Rayner and Tony Diver react to the news in a bonus extra Daily T, with Tony having just spoken to a Conservative MP delighted that Reform had 'imploded, at last'.

The Daily T: Is Farage coming for Scotland?
It's Farage's big test in Scotland. For years it was a political dead-end for Reform party leader - heckled in Edinburgh, chased from restaurants in Aberdeen, and repeatedly rejected at the ballot in today's Holyrood by-election in Hamilton, Larkhall & Stonehouse, Reform UK is mounting a serious challenge. With Farage back in charge and his candidate Ross Lambie gaining ground in an SNP stronghold, could this be the moment his party makes a breakthrough north of the border?And while the Tories remain locked in internal warfare, we speak to Reform's most senior council leader, Linden Kemkaran, on how the party plans to cut spending with their own version of Elon Musk's DOGE (Department of Government Efficiency) department, and why she wants to end taxpayer-funded English lessons for migrants.

The Daily T: Why it matters that Britain is becoming less white
A stark new report suggests the white British population could become a minority in the UK within the next 40 years. 73 per cent of the British population is white, but is predicted to drop to 57 per cent by 2050. Camilla and Gordon are joined by Professor Matt Goodwin, who led the research, to unpack what the data tells us about the UK's changing demographics, why these shifts are happening, and what they could mean for the country's future. Elsewhere, Donald Trump's administration has renewed their attacks on the BBC over its coverage of Gaza, with press secretary Karoline Leavitt accusing the corporation taking 'the word of Hamas with total truth', an allegation the broadcaster denies. Camilla and Gordon speak to former BBC director of television Danny Cohen, who agrees with the US President, saying that the broadcaster's coverage is 'driving hate' towards Israel and Jews, and that there are 'two tiers of racism at the BBC'.

The Daily T: Why Labour can't be trusted to defend Britain
The Strategic Defence Review is out. Designed to be a root and branch look at all aspects of Britain's armed forces, and billed by Labour as a 'message to Moscow', the message no doubt reaching the Kremlin is – Keir Starmer doesn't have a clue what he's doing. First of all, the Prime Minister had an 'ambition' of raising defence spending to 3 per cent of GDP in the next parliament. Then Defence Secretary John Healey said last week that it was no longer an 'ambition' but 'a certainty'. Then when he did the broadcast rounds on Sunday he downgraded it back again to an 'ambition', which was echoed by Starmer in his press conference this morning. And with the authors of the review writing in The Daily Telegraph today saying that their recommendations were costed on the certainty of a 3 per cent spending boost, Camilla and Gordon explain why Labour can't be trusted to defend Britain, a point that's been brought into even sharper focus with a record 1200 small boat crossings on Saturday. Elsewhere, Chief Reporter Robert Mendick fills us in on the story of Hamit Coskun; the 50 year old Turkish asylum seeker who's been convicted of a public order offence after setting fire to a copy of the Koran.
