During his 30 years in the Met police force, Neil Basu worked his way up the ranks to become the most senior Asian officer in British policing. Once described as being “too woke” for the role of Commissioner, Basu believes his outspoken political views cost him further promotion in the force before his exit in 2022.
In a book about his career called ‘Turmoil’, Basu chronicles his rise to the top and the discrimination he says he encountered on every level of the force, offering a first person account of his time on the front line of policing during events such as Stephen Lawrence’s murder and the London riots.
Camilla and Kamal sat down with the ex-top cop to ask him about Prevent failings, grooming gangs, immigration, and if anyone respects the police anymore.

Well he set out to Make America Wealthy Again. Instead, Donald Trump Made America Climb Down Again.
The president has now paused all global tariffs above ten percent for ninety days - with the exception of China, where the latest episode of their tit for tat trade war has seen the US placing a 125pc levy on all imported goods from there.
The big question is, was this all part of a great Trump master plan to upend the global order, assert US dominance and bring everyone to the table under his terms? Or did he, as is rumoured, act only after seeing an interview with JP Morgan boss Jamie Dimon saying a recession was “probable”?
Camilla and Kamal are joined by former member of Trump’s economic council, Carla Sands, who makes the case that the president’s expertise in causing chaos is, in fact, his biggest strength.

It's all a bit rubbish, isn't it?
There’s still no solution for the residents of Birmingham as negotiations to end the bin strike have once again failed to reach an agreement. As the backlog of waste grows by 1,000 tonnes a week, an infestation of 'cat-sized rats' has taken over the city, with Health Secretary Wes Streeting saying he is “concerned” about the public health risk.
We hear from residents in the city about their feelings on Unite Unions' strike action and what it means for their streets, and local Conservative Councillor Timothy Huxtable tells us why people have lost trust in Birmingham city council, blaming Labour for mismanaging the waste service.
And on the subject of Labour failings, Kamal and Camilla ask if the Government has let down victims of grooming after it was accused of "watering down" plans for a series of rape gang inquiries.

As Donald Trump’s tariff plans sent markets around the world into absolute chaos, Wall Street and the US braced themselves for a plunge in stocks. But as expected, Trump doubled down, urging them to stop panic selling and defending his tariffs which he said are “bringing in billions of dollars a week” for the country.
We hear that Keir Starmer has to stay after he spoke in the West Midlands about his plan to respond to the tariffs and how he’ll protect British jobs and businesses.
Kamal and Camilla ask if there’s trouble brewing in the White House already as cracks in Donald Trump and Elon Musk’s relationship appeared with Musk taking aim at some of Trump’s most trusted advisors.
And The Telegraph’s Tim Stanley joins us to defend his latest column on Trump’s tariff tactics as he asked if the President may actually be on to something, despite the reaction across the world.
