Rishi's reboot, UK maternity problems and Harry and Meghan visit Nigeria - The Daily T Podcast

The UK would be less secure with Sir Keir Starmer in 10 Downing Street, Prime Minister Rishi Sunak warned in a speech today.

In their first ever episode of The Daily T, Kamal Ahmed and Camilla Tominey are joined by Telegraph Political Editor Ben Riley-Smith to discuss Mr Sunak’s pitch on national security and why it’s quite hard to weaponise the threat of a “grey, sincere bloke” - Mr Starmer.

Plus, is it safe to have a baby in the UK? And was Prince Harry and Meghan’s visit to Nigeria a triumph - or a flop?

Its great fun watching Telegraph staff trying to find a Tory positive...

[jeffree]

In what world is Sunak better at leading on the world stage? He literally had to beg Cameron to come and look after the foreign affairs because he was completely incapable.

[gooeyrhubarb]

Sunak knows we are at war with Russia but isn’t allowed to say it yet

[mrpocock]

A 3 day old blancmange of a speech. What was that? If this is how he fights the election, the Tories will be lucky to keep a single seat.

[kitcat]

The International stage is the problem, we need our country back out of the hands of global governance

[melgrant]

Like trying to jump start a dead battery on a car .just give up rishi.

[Stand]

I think Camilla is out of touch there, when talking abt Harry & Megan. She forgets how they trashed the royal family, her late majesty and the UK & Commonwealth.

[shaun]

i don't know how he managed it, he made the speech low energy but dark? to be honest he sounded like a fascist!

[Patendyck]

The only boot is the one that Sunak’s derrière will feel when him & his corrupt government are kicked out.

First and final curious visit to this channel. After noticing a near full-page photo of a bare-shouldered, laughing Meghan Markle in Saturday's Telegraph I am through with a once-favoured newspaper. If I'd had a subscription I would have cancelled it. I hereby register my anger. The Markles get way too much publicity. Pretty frock on Camilla though.

[roadend]

Our useless corrupt unelected Prime minister 😞

[KarenMck]

Really enjoyed this, skipped past the Harry and Meghan rubbish, no-one really cares about them.

[pault]

All fine, bit skip the Prince Harry stuff, frankly who cares.

[davepointon]

Why concentrate solely on the report on maternity care instead of widening the discussion to include the root cause of the problem - successive governments?!?!

[MHopLEY]

These guys have the charisma of a felled tree stump

[DarrenBradbury-posj]

Could have completed all of that when he became prime minister.

[Elizabeth-jdmn]

Oh look, another reboot telling us Labour would be worse and they have no plan. I honestly don't know how he keeps a straight face. I nearly fell off the chair laughing. He's either deluded or has an inability to read a room. What an absolute farce he and his party have become.

Another piece of Telegraph comic theatre!
