Epsom protests: Silence of police is eroding trust

About this episode

The episode discusses the Epsom protests following an alleged gang rape and the breakdown of trust in policing, alongside a commentary on Catholics' views on Donald Trump.

After a woman in Epsom was allegedly gang raped on Saturday night, protesters are calling on Surrey Police to make public descriptions of the suspects and to release CCTV of the incident. Camilla and Jacob speak to rape gangs whistleblower and former detective Maggie Oliver, who says trust in policing has broken down and that “silence is dangerous” when tensions are so high. Plus, Catholics are losing their faith…in Donald Trump, over the president’s very public spat with the Pope. As a practising Catholic himself, Jacob weighs in on their war of words – and AI-generated images. 🚨 LIVE EVENT: The Daily T will be going on the road to London (April 27), Cardiff (April 28), Warwick (April 29) and Worthing (April 30) ahead of May’s critical local elections, where you'll have a chance to put your questions to Camilla and Tim. 🎟️ Tickets are limited, book yours now!: https://www.telegraph.co.uk/politics/0/live-event-the-daily-t-on-the-road/ We want to hear from you!
