Is the ‘establishment’ out to destroy Reform?

In today’s episode of The Daily T, Camilla Tominey and Tim Stanley discuss the ITV News investigation into Reform UK, which saw councillors filmed on camera expressing racist and sexist views. They discuss whether this expose is a case of “a few bad apples” or reflects an attitude within the political party itself. Camilla and Tim react to the views expressed by the Reform councillors in the undercover film, and explore whether those views are truly reflective of parts of electorate, and the influence of mass migration on attitudes towards nationalism and race. They also debate whether there is an unfair focus on Reform in contrast to its mainstream party rivals.

Elsewhere, Camilla is joined by Jacob Rees-Mogg sit down with ex-SAS reservist David Davis to talk about Britain's preparedness for war, as a new poll shows almost half of Brits admit there would be no cirumstance where they'd take up arms and fight for their country.
