It’s been a tumultuous twenty four hours on the Right, both in the UK and in the US.

Firstly, Reform chairman Zia Yusuf resigned from the party yesterday evening, claiming that “working to get a Reform government elected” was not “a good use of my time”.

Then, Donald Trump and Elon Musk’s row deepened further, with the Musk calling for the president to be impeached and claiming that Trump was was “named in the Epstein files”. Trump for his part said Musk was “wearing thin” and had “lost his mind”.

Former Conservative blogger turned Reform activist Tim Montgomerie joins Camilla and Gordon to reflect on Zia Yusuf’s departure, and speak to one of Reform’s most recent defectors from Labour, Scottish councillor Jamie McGuire, about the party’s results in the Hamilton by-election where it came third behind Labour and the SNP.

They also speak to Daily Telegraph Senior US Correspondent Rob Crilly about the escalating war of words between two of the world’s most powerful men.
