European leaders have descended on Blenheim Palace with Keir Starmer promising a 'reset' in British-EU relations. But what will that look like in practice?

To analyse Britain’s future relationship with Europe, an arch-Remainer and a leading Brexit figure go head to head on the Daily T - former Downing Street director of communications Sir Craig Oliver and Lord Frost, Boris Johnson’s Brexit negotiator.

Plus, a damning report from the Covid Inquiry has found that ministers “failed their citizens” by preparing for the wrong pandemic. The inquiry’s chair Baroness Hallett says failure to plan properly led to more deaths and greater costs to the economy, and that the UK will face “immense suffering” if it is not better prepared for the next pandemic, Camilla and Kamal react to the report with chief reporter Robert Mendick outside the Inquiry. 

And, should men wear ties in the House of Commons?

The new Labour government has launched its agenda with all the pomp and ceremony of the King’s Speech. They’ve gone big on promises of economic growth, house building and health reforms - with some notable exceptions but few surprises.

Will it be enough to satisfy a deeply unsatisfied electorate? And can Keir Starmer deliver the bold change he was elected on? 

In a special episode of the Daily T from Westminster, Kamal and Camilla are joined by The Telegraph’s Political Correspondent Dominic Penna to go over all the key themes and details of the King’s Speech - plus what's missing.

Also on College Green are Labour MP Barry Gardiner - who offers his advice to the Tories on life in opposition - and the Conservatives’ George Freeman, who explains why his party should "go into a dark room" for the next six months.

Former president Donald Trump has chosen self-professed ‘hillbilly’ and former Trump critic JD Vance as his would-be VP. Vance, who was announced as his running mate at the Republican national convention in Milwaukee, recently became a staunch Trump supporter, despite previously criticising him as “America’s Hitler” and “cultural heroin”. 

Camilla and Kamal discuss the story behind the man on every Republican’s mind with Telegraph reporter and author Cara McGoogan who once tried to interview Vance before he slammed a car door in her face. Plus, is Britain suffering a baby drought? We’ll discuss the birth rate fall with Paul Morland, author of No-one Left: Why the World Needs More Children.

Former president Donald Trump said he is “supposed to be dead” as he described an attempt on his life as a “surreal” experience. He survived an attempted assassination after a gunman opened fire at his rally in Pennsylvania on Saturday, killing a spectator and wounding two others.

Trump's right ear was grazed by a bullet in the shooting, leading to a historic image as he raised his fist in the air for a photo opportunity before being bundled away by Secret Service agents. Kamal and Camilla react to the aftermath of the events with US Editor Tony Diver in Washington and the government’s advisor on political violence and anti-extremism Lord Walney who warns assassination attempts becoming more likely.

And now football isn't coming home, we'll be reacting with the highlights of the England vs Spain Euros final and discussing what went wrong for the team with our chief sports writer Olly Brown.

President Joe Biden made not one, but two major gaffes at NATO this week, accidently calling Ukraine’s Volodymyr Zelenskyy ‘Putin’ before correcting himself and later referring to his Vice President Kamala Harris as ‘Trump’ without realising. 

As former president Barack Obama and senior Democrat Nancy Pelosi were reported to have spoken about their “concerns” over Biden, could the plot to push him out of the White House succeed before the month is out? 

Camilla and Kamal discuss the international fall out with US editor Tony Diver. 

Plus Ian Acheson, former prison governor and author of Screwed – Britain's Prison Crisis and How to Escape It, joins the podcast to explain the challanges Labour face in tackling the prison crisis as thousands of prisoners are set to be released early to avoid ‘total breakdown of law and order’ - and what are the cultural sacred cows you'd like to slaughter?

Could football be coming home? Basking in the afterglow of England’s last-minute win against the Netherlands, Kamal and Camilla catch up with chief sports writer Olly Brown about what it was like in the stadium, from the giddy atmosphere to Gareth Southgate’s little celebratory dance.

Plus, a chat with Southgate’s old coach at Crystal Palace, Wally Downes, about what the England manager was like as a young player.

Away from football, US editor Tony Diver joins from Washington to talk about Joe Biden’s ongoing health concerns and how he got on with Keir Starmer at Nato, while Camilla dishes the goss on the latest from inside the Tory leadership fight.

Sir Keir Starmer has jetted off on his first overseas trip as Prime Minister - to the NATO summit in Washington. But it all comes as he committed to an ‘ironclad guarantee’ to raise defence spending to 2.5 per cent of GDP, but refused to say when. 

So how serious are Labour about protecting Britain? Kamal Ahmed and Camilla Turner speak to Telegraph Defence Editor Con Coughlin to find out if Labour’s plans for our armed forces go far enough.

There’s also the small matter of the public finances being in ‘the worst state since World War 2’ according to Rachel Reeves. So how do we pay for it? Kamal and Camilla speak to Carl Emmerson from the Institute for Fiscal Studies to ask that very question.

In a remarkable turn of events, the White House medical team has had to clarify that a neurologist who visited eight times in as many months was not there to treat President Joe Biden, following angry exchanges in a media briefing with Biden’s press secretary. Meanwhile, Mr Biden himself took matters into his own hands and unexpectedly called into a morning news show to defend his own health and insist he would remain the Democrat nominee for the presidential election. 

Kamal and Camilla discuss the whole sorry mess, which comes in the light of Prime Minister Keir Starmer’s first visit to Washington for the Nato summit. 

Plus, our Crime Editor Martin Evans and Science Editor Sarah Knapston are in the studio to discuss their story about the questions surrounding the evidence used to convict former nurse Lucy Letby.

In a shock result, the second round of French elections delivered a victory of sorts to the left-wing New Popular Front alliance, pushing Marine le Pen’s National Rally into third place behind the centrists. But with no group winning a majority in parliament, President Emmanual Macron now faces some difficult choices. 

To discuss what it means for France, Europe and the UK’s fledgling government, Kamal and Camilla are joined in the studio by French journalist Charlotte Kan and The Telegraph’s resident Parisian Adelie Pojzman-Pontay.

Plus, how has Prime Minister Keir Starmer fared in his first few days in government? The new Cabinet is off to a flying start, but Kamal and Camilla notice a familiar name that keeps cropping up: Tony Blair. We also have a dispatch from Nigel Farage’s victory tour around his new constituency of Clacton.

It’s official: we have a new prime minister. When Sir Keir Starmer spoke on the steps of No 10 Downing Street he became just the seventh ever Labour politician to lead the country - but the challenges he is facing are vast. 

Kamal and Camilla take a look at the issues at the top of his in-tray, from a sluggish economy to immigration concerns. Plus with a low vote share and a historic number of seats won by the Lib Dems, Reform, the Greens and independent pro-Palestine candidates, they ask whether Labour can really be the “government of service” Starmer wants them to be?

Plus, Iain Duncan Smith joins Kamal and Camilla in the studio to discuss how he held on to his London seat and what next for the Tories as they reel from one of their worst electoral losses ever.
