The idea that Kamala Harris is ahead in Republican stronghold Iowa has America reeling - but how much can we read into it?

With just twenty-four hours to go until polling day, America has been sent into a frenzy with a shock poll from the Republican-held state of Iowa that puts Kamala Harris 3% ahead of Donald Trump. It wasn’t a state that was even in the conversation before, so does it mean Trump’s campaign is suffering subsidence? And can it be replicated elsewhere?

Kamal is in the studio in London and Camilla is in Washington to digest another wild weekend in the US election, and get the expert opinion on the Iowa poll from our Head of Data Ben Butcher.

Plus, Telegraph columnist and Daily T presenter Tim Stanley explains why he believes Donald Trump isn’t the monster the left portrays him as.

And lessons from cycling 4000 miles across America.

All the polls put next week’s US presidential election on a knife edge. But Republican pollster Kristen Soltis Anderson says the result could still be a shock landslide - for either candidate.

Kamal and Camilla are joined for a forceful but intelligent debate by pro-reparations journalist and descendant of slave owners Laura Trevelyan and anti-reparations Conservative peer Lord Tony Sewell, who is the former Chair of the Commission on Race and Ethnic Disparities.

It’s the Commonwealth heads of government meeting in Samoa, with leaders of the 56 Commonwealth nations all gathering for the first summit since King Charles took to the throne. Some of those attending from African and Caribbean nations have talked of using the occasion to press Keir Starmer into paying financial reparations for Britain's role in the slave trade.

Is there any case for atoning for the past monetarily, or would all parties be better off discussing how to work more closely in the future?

Kamala Harris has called Donald Trump a fascist. But is he?

Kamala Harris has used the “f-word” about Donald Trump for the first time - calling the former President a fascist during a Town Hall event hosted by CNN. The comments come off the back of a scathing attack by Trump’s former chief of staff John Kelly who said his ex-boss fitted “into the general definition of fascist” this week. But was this really a serious political attack by Harris? Camilla and Kamal discuss. 

Plus, we’ll hear from our Chief Reporter Rob Mendick who has been to Minnesota to report on the emotional clash between the wife of a murdered police officer and Tim Walz, Kamala Harris’s pick for Vice President.

A major diplomatic row as Donald Trump files a legal complaint accusing Labour of "blatant" election interference.

It started with an innocuous LinkedIn post drumming up Labour volunteers to campaign for Kamala Harris, and has ended with Donald Trump formally accusing the party of government of illegal election interference. Camilla and Kamal ask how Labour been so naive enough to allow themselves to create a diplomatic row with Donald Trump, and also how they can now hope to have a good relationship with any future Trump administration.

Plus, it was over to the deputies at Prime Minister's Questions this week, and it got pretty feisty between Angela Rayner and Oliver Dowden. We analyse Dowden's key blows ahead of the Budget as Labour still struggle to define what a 'working person' is.
