- Iran has threatened to spread the war beyond the Middle East if Donald Trump starts bombing the country again. Is it an empty threat or should we be worried?
Jonathan Hackett, a former US Marine Corps interrogator and special operations intelligence officer, joins the podcast again to discuss the state of Iran’s military capabilities, their Mosaic Doctrine and what next for the war with Venetia Rainey, Sophia Yan and Roland Oliphant.
They also discuss reports today that the US wanted to install former president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad in Ali Khamenei’s place, news of secret Israeli bases in the Iraqi desert, and the shady Iran-linked group known as HAYI behind a series of attacks on Jews in London.
Plus, as Vladimir Putin visits Xi Jinping in China, Sophia looks at how the energy crisis caused by the war has boosted Moscow by forcing the UK and US to drop sanctions on Russian oil, and Venetia looks at JD Vance’s latest comments on peace d...

- After a tumultuous two weeks for the PM, not even an Arsenal Premier League win could turn things around for Keir Starmer ahead of his first PMQs since Labour’s devastating local election results.
On Wednesday’s Daily T podcast, Camilla Tominey and Tim Stanley delve into the fiery exchange in the Commons as Conservative Party leader Kemi Badenoch described his approach to foreign and economic policy was “like the Soviets won”.
Camilla and Tim also look at The Green Party’s newest MP Hannah Spencer’s first question in the Commons, where she criticised her colleagues for “drinking on the job”, and the conveniently planted question for Starmer regarding Reform leader Nigel Farage’s £5m donation from a cryptocurrency billionaire. Meanwhile, Wes Streeting gave his resignation speech in the Parliament, warning that the PM’s failures will put Farage in power.

The Prime Minister is braced for a showdown in the Commons with Kemi Badenoch, the Tory leader, after heavy losses across England, Wales and Scotland plunged his leadership into a fresh crisis.
Almost 100 Labour MPs have demanded Sir Keir resign including Wes Streeting, who quit as health secretary last Thursday and went on to declare he would run in any Labour leadership contest.

- Andy Burnham launched his by-election campaign video last night, and used it to attack the legacy of Margaret Thatcher and the deindustrialisation of areas like Makerfield, whilst promising to reverse the “draining away of economic, social and political power” that happened during her tenure and in the years since.
On today’s Daily T podcast, Camilla Tominey and Tim Stanley criticise the Manchester mayor for attacking Thatcher rather than laying out policies of his own, whilst also conveniently forgetting that his own journey to Cambridge University and beyond in the 1980s is largely owed to the Iron Lady’s commitment to social mobility.
Elsewhere, Camilla and Tim also speak to Labour grandee Baron Foulkes - a minister in Tony Blair’s government - who says Keir Stamer has been a victim of the right-wing press and is doing the right thing by maintaining that he’s going nowhere.

- Despite the Makerfield by-election not even having been officially set, and despite the fact Andy Burnham is not yet officially standing, the campaign has begun and Labour figures are kicking lumps out of each other already.
In a soft launch of his own leadership campaign,Wes Streeting, the former health secretary, announced he wanted Britain to rejoin the EU. In doing so, he has forced Mr Burnham, the Mayor of Greater Manchester, to admit that he’d quite like that too – albeit, not immediately. Sir Keir Starmer, meanwhile, is pretending nothing is happening.
Camilla Tominey and Tim Stanley speak to Matt Goodwin, Reform’s candidate for the Gorton and Denton by-election, who says this is an absolute gift for his party. He says that Labour is “self-indulgent and self-absorbed” with “no serious interest in its heartlands” and is heading for electoral disaster in Makerfield.

The Mayor of Greater Manchester is by far the most popular Labour politician and would be confident of success in a leadership contest against Sir Keir Starmer. But first he has to be allowed to fight the seat – which is in his own backyard – by the party’s National Executive Committee, and then beat Reform, which won the Makerfield wards in last week’s local elections.
Camilla Tominey and Tim Stanley assess the chances of Burnham securing the nomination for and then winning Makerfield, as well as the role that Ed Miliband has played and where it leaves Wes Streeting after his resignation as health secretary on Thursday.

But don’t be fooled. When the presidents of China and the United States meet at the same table, the occasion represents the pinnacle of global power politics, with each leader manoeuvring for advantage.
Xi’s strikingly provocative opening remarks demonstrated how – rightly or wrongly – he believes that China has the upper hand. “At present, changes unseen in a century are accelerating,” he said.

- As two more ships are attacked in the Strait of Hormuz and the ceasefire in Lebanon nears its end, all eyes are on the high-stakes US-China summit in Beijing.
Donald Trump and Xi Jinping say they agree that Iran must not have nuclear weapons and that the Strait must be reopened - but what does that mean in practice?
Ahmed Aboudouh, Associate Fellow for Middle East and North Africa at Chatham House, joins Roland Oliphant and Sophia Yan and explains how Beijing’s complex relationship with Tehran and the Gulf monarchies will inform its approach to the war.

- Wes Streeting has resigned as health secretary and is poised to challenge Sir Keir Starmer for the Labour leadership.
In his resignation letter, Mr Streeting told the Prime Minister he had “lost confidence” in his leadership, adding that it was “clear” Sir Keir would not lead Labour into the next general election.
He launched a scathing attack on Sir Keir, criticising him for cutting the winter fuel allowance, describing Britain as an “island of strangers” in a controversial migration speech and sacking staff rather than taking responsibility for his own mistakes.
Mr Streeting said: “It is now clear that you will not lead the Labour Party into the next general election and that Labour MPs and Labour unions want the debate about what comes next to be a battle of ideas, not of personalities or petty factionalism.

- Description
- Xi Jinping has warned Donald Trump that the US and China could “come into conflict” over Taiwan during a bilateral meeting.
The Chinese president said the disputed territory was the “most important issue in China-US relations” in comments released by state media on Thursday.
“If it is handled well, bilateral relations can remain generally stable. If it is not handled properly, the two countries could collide or even come into conflict, pushing the entire China–US relationship into a very dangerous situation,” he said.
Mr Trump is yet to respond to the warning from Mr Xi, who views Taiwan’s “reunification” with China as a key part of his legacy.
The comments mark the first insight into the closed-door meeting, which overran by an hour and lasted two hours and 15 minutes.

- This week on Planet Normal, your co-pilots of sanity, Liam Halligan and Allison Pearson, sift through the debris of a historic set of local elections that have left Sir Keir Starmer clinging to power.
The duo analyse the turquoise tsunami that saw Reform UK gain over 1,400 council seats, whilst the Prime Minister faces a precarious future after Labour’s vote share collapsed in traditional hubs like Birmingham and Cambridge.
Who is your co-pilots preferred replacement? Wes Streeting? Angela Rayner? ‘Mad’ Ed Miliband? Or does Andy Burnham stand the best chance with the softy Labour Left?
Return stowaway William Coulston joins your co-pilots to dissect the local election results, and where the Social Democrat Party stands on Welfare and why Labour's approach is bankrupting the country.

For an hour, Dmitry Senin lay still inside the carcass of the dead cow, making certain there was no sign of Russian border guards.
It was twilight in September, a date chosen carefully as it is a time of year when the temperatures drop below freezing on the border between Siberia and Kazakhstan but the snow is yet to arrive, allowing an escapee to take cover among the grasses and crops which carpet the frontier in the early autumn.
The high-flying Federal Security Service (FSB) agent, dressed in a gas mask, a rubber suit and wrapped in tin foil, was running for his life from Vladimir Putin’s death squads – populated by a number of his former colleagues.

The Princess, who stepped out of her car to screams, whoops and shouts of “bellissima” and “Kate!”, launched into a walkabout, where people had been waiting up to five hours to see her.
Her two-day trip to the northern city of Reggio Emilia is part of her “global mission” to help the next generation of children.
She was heard telling the mayor of Reggio Emilia that the warm welcome had left her “emotional seeing everyone”.
Pausing to speak to children from local pre-schools, she crouched to their eye level to chat.
“Parlo un po’ d’italiano,” she said, letting them know she speaks only a little Italian, before asking their names.
“Come ti chiami? Io sono Caterina.”

- Weeks of American and Israeli airstrikes inflicted grievous losses on Iran’s military. Or so we thought.
Now, US intelligence assessments suggest that Iran retains 70 percent of the missiles and launch vehicles it had before the war - including most of the sites threatening the Strait of Hormuz.
Holly Dagres joins Roland Oliphant and Sophia Yan to unpack the implications. She also explains why Iran’s hardliners are unlikely to listen to China’s leader Xi Jinping, have stepped up execution of opponents and alleged spies at home, and are nose-diving the economy with a crippling internet black out. This is the latest from Donald Trump’s war against Iran – which will overshadow his summit later this week with Xi.

- Wes Streeting has left Downing Street after meeting Sir Keir Starmer for just 16 minutes.
The Health Secretary entered No 10 at around 8.29am to challenge Sir Keir over his plan to rescue Labour amid mounting calls for the Prime Minister to resign. He then left Downing Street at approximately 8.45am.
Allies of the Prime Minister said he would tell Mr Streeting, who has been widely tipped to challenge Sir Keir for the Labour leadership, to stop plotting against him during the brief meeting.
Almost 100 Labour MPs have demanded that Sir Keir quit after last week’s dire local election results, with four ministers, including a key ally of the Health Secretary, resigning in protest on Tuesday.
In another major blow to his premiership, all 11 trade unions affiliated to Labour withdrew their support for Sir Keir on Wednesday morning, saying it was “clear” he must leave before the next general election.

Masked men armed with a baseball bat flee empty-handed after crashing through Bradford shop front.
Three men smashed into the front of a jewellery store in Bradford but did not steal anything.
Footage from the incident appears to show three hooded and masked figures, armed with a baseball bat and carrying rucksacks, entering the store on Monday morning in broad daylight.
An alarm from inside Bradford Jewellers can be heard as a man and two women, seemingly carrying a young child, also flee through the shattered front window.
The video has caused much speculation online, as viewers commented that the purported thieves had not filled their bags with any stolen goods.
West Yorkshire Police confirmed that this was the case.

- May 19 could prove critical in the hantavirus outbreak.
Currently, no cases have been confirmed in people who were not on board the MV Hondius, so there is no evidence that the virus has spread beyond the confines of the ship.
But the long incubation period of the virus means that it is impossible to know whether passengers who left the ship early on April 24 have passed on the disease.
Dr Steven Quay has calculated that all generation-two cases – those involving people who developed symptoms after contact with “patient zero”, Leo Schilperoord, 70 – took an average of 22 days to become ill.
