The return of Nigel Farage

It's official: Nigel Farage is running as an MP and will be leading Reform UK into the election, after a last-minute press conference was called this afternoon. Camilla and Kamal look at the bombshell announcement, what it means for British politics - and crucially, whether this is a death knell for the Conservatives.They also ask whether the Tory pledge to rewrite the Equality Act and clear up 'confusion' on the legal definition of sex goes far enough.Plus, with the sad passing of Leeds Rhinos rugby legend Rob Burrow after his long battle with motor neurone disease, The Telegraph's Puzzles Editor Chris Lancaster - who was diagnosed with MND last year - reflects on the incredible impact of his campaigning.ReadNigel Farage to stand for election: https://www.telegraph.co.uk/politics/2024/06/03/nigel-farage-election-announcement-reform/Sunak: I’ll change law to keep trans women out of female lavatories, by Daniel Martin: https://www.telegraph.co.uk/politics/2024/06/02/rishi-suank-equality-act-protect-womens-spaces-tory/Rob Burrow, rugby league international who helped to raise millions for MND charities – obituary: https://www.telegraph.co.uk/obituaries/2024/06/02/rob-burrow-rugby-league-international-mnd-died-obituary/Email: [email protected] Daily T Newsletter: telegraph.co.uk/dailytnewsletterSubscribe to The Telegraph: telegraph.co.uk/dailytsubProducers: Lilian Fawcett and Georgia CoanSenior Producer: John CadiganPlanning Editor: Venetia RaineyVideo Producer: Luke GoodsallStudio Operator: Meghan SearleSocial Media Producer: Ji-Min LeeExecutive Producer: Louisa WellsEditor: Camilla TomineyOriginal music by Goss Studio Hosted on Acast.
