Starmer’s great big Brexit betrayal

Starmer’s great big Brexit betrayal

Author: The Telegraph January 6, 2026 Duration: 33:05

Not content with having surrendered British fishing rights in an extraordinary “reset deal” with the EU last year, Keir Starmer is preparing to move Britain even closer to Brussels in 2026.


The Prime Minister is drawing up a new bill allowing for closer alignment with Europe's single market.


Camilla and Tim are joined by Sunday Telegraph editor Allister Heath, who says Labour are “desperate if they think rejoining will get them votes” as the EU is “in catastrophic decline”.

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.
