In this episode of The Daily T, Tim Stanley and Poppy Coburn discuss the row that has broken out between Nigel Farage and Zack Polanski, after the Reform UK leader reported the head of the Green Party to the police over a social media post that appeared to threaten Mr Farage.
Tim also speaks with Kemi Badenoch, who believes that police time should not be wasted on investigating acts of free speech. Following her piece in The Telegraph, the Conservative Party leader tells The Daily T where the Labour Government is going wrong in tackling Britain’s overcrowded prisons.
Tim and Poppy also speak to David Shipley, a prison reform campaigner and former prisoner, who shares his insight on the flawed infrastructure plaguing the penal system.
