Epsom protests: Silence of police is eroding trust

Epsom protests: Silence of police is eroding trust

Author: The Telegraph April 16, 2026 Duration: 40:34

After a woman in Epsom was allegedly gang raped on Saturday night, protesters are calling on Surrey Police to make public descriptions of the suspects and to release CCTV of the incident.


Camilla and Jacob speak to rape gangs whistleblower and former detective Maggie Oliver, who says trust in policing has broken down and that “silence is dangerous” when tensions are so high.


Plus, Catholics are losing their faith…in Donald Trump, over the president’s very public spat with the Pope. As a practising Catholic himself, Jacob weighs in on their war of words – and AI-generated images.

For a sharp, unfiltered take on the stories shaping Britain and beyond, tune into The Daily T. This daily podcast from The Telegraph is driven by the candid chemistry and quick wit of Associate Editor Camilla Tominey and columnist Tim Stanley. They don’t just recap the headlines; they dive into the nuances, arguments, and often absurd realities behind the day’s most pressing topics in politics, culture, and society. The conversation is free-thinking and direct, cutting through the noise with a blend of analysis and humour that feels more like a compelling chat with well-informed friends than a formal news broadcast. Listeners will find themselves in the middle of intelligent debates on Westminster manoeuvres, cultural shifts, and global affairs. The podcast regularly features exclusive sit-downs with a wide array of influential voices, from political figures like Nigel Farage and Kemi Badenoch to other prominent names in the public eye, adding depth and varied perspective to the ongoing dialogue. It’s a reliable, engaging listen for anyone wanting to understand the ‘why’ behind the news, delivered with the distinctive edge and authority of The Telegraph’s editorial voice. Each episode promises to be both a briefing and a provocation, making The Daily T a standout in the daily news podcast landscape.
