• British jobs for British workers and electing the new Pope

  The UK and India have agreed to the terms of a free trade deal, set to be Britain’s largest since Brexit. Yet, controversial tax breaks could exempt Indian migrants from paying National Insurance for the next three years, a move that critics are calling ‘pro-immigration’. And catholics wait for the sign of white smoke as cardinals gather behind the Vatican’s closed doors to choose the next pope. Despite the unpredictability of the conclave, there are some candidates emerging as favourites with eleven main contenders and the chosen cardinal is widely expected to carry on Pope Francis’s agenda of progressive politics when elected. From St Peter’s Square, The Telegraph’s Tim Stanley speaks with Camilla and Kamal on the frontrunners, the history of the ritual and whether the electors might be watching the Oscar-winning film Conclave for research.

• How Farage could win the next general election

  Last week’s local elections marked a turning point for Reform UK. Nigel Farage’s party gained control of councils for the first time, picking up hundreds of seats, many in once-safe Conservative areas. And in a shock Westminster by-election, they even beat Labour to claim their fifth MP in Runcorn and Helsby.The current national share estimate puts Reform on 32% - with Labour down to 19% and the Conservatives on 18%. And as the two main parties continue to tank in the polls, we’re already hearing rumours of a watering down of the winter fuel cut to save Labour votes - and the potential ousting of Kemi Badenoch as Tory Leader after disastrous results at the polls. Kamal and Camilla are joined by our Data Editor Ben Butcher to find out what the data is saying about Reform and if Nigel Farage is a serious contender for the next Prime Minister.Producer: Georgia CoanPlanning Editor: Venetia RaineyExecutive Producer: Louisa WellsSocial Media Producer: James Simmons Video Editor: Valerie BrowneStudio Operator: Meghan SearleEditor: Camilla Tominey Hosted on Acast.
