Stephen LeDrew sits down with Michelle Ferreri, former Conservative MP and one of Canada's outspoken political voices, for a fiery discussion on the state of Canadian leadership and whether the country is heading for an early election.Ferreri argues that Canadians are tired - not just of politics, but of politicians who won't act. With Mark Carney's government struggling to show results and a confidence vote looming on the next federal budget, she says it's time for accountability and a serious national conversation about the country's direction.LeDrew presses Ferreri on whether the Liberals have lost their will to lead and if opposition parties are ready to offer real solutions instead of more rhetoric. The two spar over bureaucracy, leadership, and why Canadians deserve more than promises.A sharp, fast-paced Three Minutes on political paralysis, public frustration, and what it will take to get Canada moving again.

It's the fourth anniversary of the murder of Sir David Amess, the Conservative MP who was killed by an Islamic State sympathiser during a surgery in his Southend constituency. At Prime Minister's Questions this lunchtime, Sir Keir Starmer paid tribute to a “much-loved”, “kind” and “generous” man and talked of the “huge loss” many across the house still feel.Watching on from her home in Los Angeles was Sir David's daughter, Katie, and she tells Camilla Tominey and Tim Stanley on today's Daily T of her disgust at hearing the Prime Minister paying such a fulsome tribute when he'd “ignored (her) letters” and had been “so disrespectful” after she'd “pleaded with him to hold an inquiry” into the failings that allowed Sir David's murderer to slip through the net.Camilla and Tim also reflect on the questions that still need to be answered about the China spying scandal, as well as Sir Keir calling for a calming of the political rhetoric whilst simultaneously accusing Reform of being “Kremlin cronies”.► Sign up to our most popular newsletter, From the Editor.

At 85, the venerable Jeffrey Archer has lived through enough crises to stay calm and carry on whatever the stormy political weather. The best-selling author—who has sold 275 million books and, as a Conservative MP and party chairman, served Margaret Thatcher for 11 years—speaks with the authority of someone who witnessed the Iron Lady's firm politics up close and personal. But Mrs Thatcher isn't the only British grande dame who Archer now mourns. His latest William Warwick thriller End Game, set against the backdrop of the 2012 London Olympics, is the story of a plot against Queen Elizabeth II, the beloved monarch who, in contrast with Mrs T, unified Britain. And then there's what Archer definitely calls his “final novel”—a World War II story to be published next year that he believes will be “bigger than Cain and Abel.” But he also weighs in on today's political chaos in Britain and America: Trump's absurd contradictions, the chilling specter of Farage and Robinson, Starmer's political problems, and why Maggie would have known exactly how to handle them all.1. Archer's Final Chapter At 85, Archer announces his next book will be his last. After 50 years and 275 million books sold, he's on the 17th draft of a WWII novel about September 15, 1941—a day when the war “could have ended” if Hitler hadn't changed his mind three times. He believes it's “bigger than Kane and Abel.”2. Thatcher Would Have Dominated Trump Archer, who served Thatcher for 11 years, believes she would have “handled Trump very well” and that “Trump would be in awe of her.” He compares it to her successful management of Reagan, Gorbachev, and Chirac—knowing exactly “what to do with each one.”3. Farage Could Be 30 Seats From Power Archer reveals he warned David Cameron a decade ago to neutralize Farage by making him a Lord. Cameron ignored the advice when Farage polled at 0%. Now Farage leads in polls and could be “only 30 seats short of forming a government”—despite having no one in his party with governing experience.4. Britain Has Peaked Archer sees 2012's Olympics as Britain's high-water mark. Since then: five Conservative leaders in six years, Starmer's rapid collapse, potential bankruptcy from an aging population, and a declining interest in the monarchy among young people. “Top people are not going into politics anymore.”5. AI Threatens the Next Generation of Writers While grateful his 50-year career predated artificial intelligence, Archer worries about the future. He's discussed with his children ensuring no AI-generated “Jeffrey Archer” books appear after his death, calling it “a cop-out.” The odds for aspiring writers have never been tougher: 1,000 manuscripts submitted weekly, only one published.Keen On America is a reader-supported publication.

On today's episode of The Candice Malcolm Show, Candice confronts the shocking murder of Charlie Kirk and the disturbing reaction from the political Left and the media establishment. Over the weekend, Utah Governor Spencer Cox and President Donald Trump both confirmed that the suspected assassin, Tyler Robinson, had been radicalized by leftist ideology online. Authorities revealed Robinson had spoken openly of his hatred for Kirk and even confessed on Discord shortly after the killing. But instead of mourning a generation's conservative leader, Canada's left-wing media rushed to smear Kirk in death as they had in life. CBC, CTV, the Globe and Mail, and freelance activists like Rachel Gilmore downplayed the assassination and even suggested Kirk “reaped what he sowed.” CBC's so-called “hate experts” went further, spreading lies about Kirk's record while branding his supporters “far-right.” Candice argues this wasn't just an attack on Charlie Kirk — it was an attack on free speech, democracy, and the very foundation of Western society. Meanwhile, Liberals in Ottawa blocked Conservative MPs from holding a moment of silence in Kirk's honour, even as thousands of ordinary Canadians held vigils across Alberta and artists like Morgan Wallen paid tribute on stage. This is political violence fuelled by years of conditioning, where the media paints conservatives as “fascists,” “extremists,” and “domestic terrorists,” creating the toxic environment that enables real violence. Candice exposes how the establishment continues to smear conservatives while excusing their own side's extremism, and why Canadians must push back. Learn more about your ad choices.

On today's episode of the Candice Malcolm Show, Candice breaks an EXCLUSIVE news story that the Liberal Government refuses to share exit tracking data on those ‘temporary' visitors whose visas have expired and those who are illegally in Canada. That's right. The Canadian Border Services Agency (CBSA) tracks if a temporary foreign worker or international student hops on a flight and leaves Canada. But suspiciously, they won't share the numbers! Apparently, the government doesn't want the public to know how many ‘temporary' visitors are over-staying their visas, remaining here illegally. Why does this matter? The Carney Government's 2025 immigration plan assumes that 1.2 million ‘temporary' residents will VOLUNTARILY leave the country once their visas expire. But nobody will track them down. Could many of them decide to stay illegally, joining the estimated 500,000 illegals already in Canada (Ottawa's own estimate). This story – and their refusal to share data with journalists – shows the Liberal government's refusal to take illegal immigration seriously. Later in the episode, Candice is joined by Conservative MP and the Shadow Minister of Immigration Michelle Rempel Garner. They discuss our exclusive story and the broader problem of relying on ‘temporary' immigrants to voluntarily leave the country on their own. Next, they discuss Pierre Poilievre's BIG announcement yesterday that the Conservatives are calling for an END to the Temporary Foreign Worker Program. Candice shares clips of Pierre discussing this policy announcement and his response to those who say businesses need this type of foreign labour. She also shares a clip of Prime Minister Mark Carney justifying the program because big corporations like it. Candice asks Michelle why the Conservatives didn't announce this program sooner and why they didn't run on it during the recent election, and Michelle explains how they got here. Finally, Michelle Rempel Garners SLAMS the Carney Liberals for their repeated attacks on free speech and the independent media in light of Ottawa's criminal investigation into Juno News and our reporter Keean Bexte.

Nick Cohen talks to former Conservative MP and minister Dr Phillip Lee about the Brexit Omertà that is killing the Conservative Party.

The elephant in the roomPhillip Lee that although few people want to talk about Brexit, they are prepared to talk about the many problems either caused or exacerbated by Brexit. He says, "Look at the boats thing... when we were members of the European Union and Dublin protocols, we could turn these people around to where they'd first entered the European Union. Okay. That was what we were able to do. Now that we're outside the European Union, we can't turn these boats around once they're on the beach."He adds, "Now, how many people in this country actually realise that Brexit has made, dealing with the boats coming across the channel harder? I suspect very, very few people understand that factual point. So why isn't the Labour government saying that? Because they don't want to open up the discussion of. European Union membership being positive."Government by focus group is wrong Phillip Lee asserts that UK political parties mistakenly and all to frequently delegate their political judgment to poorly informed focus groups, saying "we rely upon focus groups from people who are often ill-informed...It is just a fact. They don't understand the complexity of trading in negotiations. They don't understand the complexity of just-in-time manufacturing, they don't understand the challenges of geopolitics or whatever. The reason in great part is not because they can't, it's because they've gotta get the kids to school. They've gotta put food on the table. They've got busy, busy lives. They're being stretched, left, right, and centre to care for elderly and everything else..." He warns, That just takes us down the path, which we are now too far down almost, of having a country that's not fit for purpose and not sustainable, not tenable. In fact, in the medium term, we have to be, we've gotta turn that around. We've gotta start to get to a situation where our democracy people are more informed."Public is being manipulated all over again on Brexit Phillip Lee argues that Nigel Farage counters the obvious failure of Brexit with the absurd claim that it just hadn't been "done right". He adds," Farage is cleverly tapping into the fact that nothing's changed. In fact, everything's got worse. But instead of people concluding it's got worse because of Brexit, he twists it as...t's not the Brexit that people voted for."Well, the Brexit that people voted for was never going to happen again. People were lied to and manipulated, and I think until a political party that's got a chance of forming a government in this country is honest with people about this straightforward, informs them of the reality." Failure to be honest with the public could lead to Reform in power Phillip Lee says failure to treat the public as adults could lead to the disaster of Farage in Number 10, saying "It's just going in the path of Reform, isn't it? ... we're going to have our Trump moment and most of us are gonna have heads in our hands about it."Read all about it!Nick Cohen's @NickCohen4 latest Substack column Writing from London on politics and culture from the UK and beyond.
