To kick off The Daily T On Tour, Conservative, Reform and Labour politicians joined Camilla Tominey and Tim Stanley to go head to head live on stage – and it didn’t disappoint.

James Cleverly, Tory shadow housing secretary, Zia Yusuf, Reform’s home affairs spokesman and James Murray, Chief Secretary to the Treasury, hashed it out about the immigration “invasion” of Britain; how Starmer’s Government is clobbering the middle class; and if our diminished military could defend the Falklands today.

In a sometimes testy exchange, Mr Cleverly attacked Reform’s record in local government, Mr Yusuf went after the Tories over immigration figures, and Mr Murray was almost laughed out the room when he tries to defend Labour’s welfare policies.
