Tom Tugendhat is the latest Tory leader candidate to declare, with a front page article for The Telegraph stating that he's 'ready to leave the ECHR' - despite saying otherwise just 2 years ago. 

Kamal and Camilla (fresh from an eight hour lunch with the major Conservative movers and shakers) have all the latest inside information about the state of the leadership race, and ask how the ECHR has become the new fault line on the right.

Elsewhere, Ed Miliband has launched Labour's flagship new publicly owned energy company Great British Energy - but does anyone know what it is?

And Prince Harry has gone to war with the tabloids (again), and Camilla asks if it's time for him to take a bit of personal responsibility instead of blaming everybody else...

After the battles of the campaign trail, Sir Keir Starmer took to the despatch box for his first Prime Minister's Questions as leader of the country but rather than a continuation of the fireworks with Rishi Sunak, what we got was a very measured and cordial back and forth.

Camilla and Kamal host a watchalong of a very polite PMQs and ask whether this is the start of a new political bromance...

Elsewhere, we've got sight of the first slick video production from a Tory leader candidate, and the Olympics are upon us!

Nigel Farage made clear his ambition to one day be prime minister even before his Reform UK party won five seats at the general election. But does he have what it takes? And is he offering the right answers to the UK’s woes?

Camilla and Kamal sit down for an exclusive interview with the Clacton MP and Reform leader to discuss going after Labour, his controversial comments about recent riots in Leeds, and if he could really make it all the way to 10 Downing Street.

And as the Conservatives launch a plan to elect a replacement for Rishi Sunak, we’re asking: who will be the next Tory leader?

It seems like, barring a miracle, vice-president Kamala Harris will become the new Democratic presidential nominee after Joe Biden announced his decision to stand down over the weekend. So who is she?

Kamal and Camilla speak to Democratic political strategist Garry South, from Kamala Harris's home state of California, to find out more about who she is, what she stands for and whether she can beat Donald Trump.

Plus, Reform leader Nigel Farage is in the Daily T studio for his take on whether Trump will be more worried by the prospect of facing Kamala Harris than he was Joe Biden. 

And they also ask the question - what will Joe Biden's legacy be?

President Joe Biden has announced that he will “stand down” from the US presidential race, endorsing his vice president Kamala Harris. So what happens next?

The announcement comes after weeks of speculation as many questioned Biden’s capability to run against Donald Trump following a number of public gaffes during his campaign. 

Camilla and Kamal discuss the immediate reaction to Biden’s resignation with US Editor Tony Diver, as the Democrats ‘scramble to build a presidential campaign’ for their new candidate.

Donald Trump has made his first public speech since his attempted assassination last weekend, telling the crowds he survived “only by the grace of almighty God”.

Speaking on the final night of the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, the former president's speech outlined his plans for a second term in the White House. Trump started with a message of unity, promising to bring Americans together, but soon turned to his familiar attacking style. Kamal unpacks what the speech really meant and America's reaction to it with US Editor Tony Diver.

And what will a Labour government mean for you? We asked the question at our first Daily T Live event, where Camilla and Kamal hosted subscribers at Telegraph headquarters in London with Associate Editor Gordon Rayner and the financial expert and presenter of Radio 4's Money Box Paul Lewis, answering your questions.

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.
