After what's shaping up to be a Labour bloodbath, Camilla and Tim reflect on a nightmare set of local election results for Keir Starmer. With the Prime Minister taking the blame but refusing to step aside, they assess whether his Cabinet colleagues may well take the decision out of his hands.As bad a night as it’s been for Labour, it’s been a great one for Reform.

Things are going from bad to worse for Sir Keir Starmer. Despite giving an interview this weekend insisting he can “fight on” and win the next general election, opposition parties have successfully forced a vote on whether to refer the PM to the parliamentary privileges committee, whilst his rivals within the Labour are also plotting furiously. Camilla and Tim reflect on the news that Angela Rayner and Andy Burnham are being urged to make a pact, as well as that Commons vote tomorrow, which comes on the same day Morgan McSweeney will give evidence to the foreign affairs select committee.Elsewhere, Camilla and Tim also ask whether the King and Queen can save the special relationship, with their four-day visit to the States about to commence against the backdrop of a failed attempt on President Trump’s life at the weekend.🚨 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, Tim and their guests.🎟️ 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!

The local elections are approaching fast, and Labour are set for significant losses to Reform UK – but also to a very different opponent: Zack Polanski’s Green Party.Under Mr Polanski as leader, the party’s membership and polling position have surged. But in today’s Daily T, Shahrar Ali, a former Greens deputy leader, warns that the party has been infiltrated by Islamists, making it “a danger to society”.Camilla Tominey and Tim Stanley also go head-to-head with Ellie Chowns, the Green Party MP for North Herefordshire, over the party’s claim that Zionism is racist.🚨 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, Tim and their guests.🎟️ 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!

Sir Keir Starmer’s days as Prime Minister appear to be numbered, with briefings from Cabinet ministers that suggest growing discontent over the Mandelson saga.Camilla and Tim assess whether Starmer can limp on until the May local elections, and who might end up replacing him.Plus, Telegraph journalists Robert Mendick and Claire Newell reveal the extraordinary role played by Lord Hermer, the Prime Minister’s friend whom he appointed Attorney General, in the failed prosecution of British soldiers in Iraq, and reflect on yet another damaging example of Sir Keir’s lack of judgment.Read: The emails that prove Hermer was warned of Iraqi lies – but pursued veterans anyway🚨 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!

Labour is reportedly plotting for Prime Minister’s Questions to be cancelled next week, meaning Sir Keir Starmer will avoid further scrutiny over the Mandelson scandal.Camilla and Tim react to party whips' “dodgy” manoeuvres and unpack this afternoon’s exchange between Kemi Badenoch and Sir Keir, in which the PM admitted he had pushed for a plum ambassadorial role for Lord Doyle, his disgraced former communications chief.Plus, they ask whether the Cabinet is turning against the Prime Minister – after a circumspect broadcast round from usually loyal Pat McFadden – as the first Labour MP calls on him to resign.🚨 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!

It’s been another bruising day for Sir Keir Starmer as Sir Olly Robbins, the former top Foreign Office official sacked over the Lord Mandelson vetting row, has broken his silence. Giving evidence to MPs at the foreign affairs select committee, he accused Downing Street of applying “constant pressure” to push the appointment through despite Mandelson failing vetting checks.Camilla and Tim ask how damaging Sir Olly’s testimony will be to Keir Starmer, as Robbins revealed the Government didn’t even want Lord Mandelson vetted at all, and asked him to explore an ambassadorship for his now disgraced former spin doctor Matthew Doyle.Lord Glasman, the Labour peer, also joins Camilla and Tim, saying that Sir Keir must go and that a growing number of backbenchers now agree with him.🚨 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!

It’s Keir Starmer’s darkest day in office. In a statement to the Commons this afternoon, the Prime Minister apologised again for appointing Peter Mandelson as US ambassador, but stopped short of admitting to misleading the House about the vetting process.Despite the Prime Minister laying the blame squarely at the door of the Foreign Office, Camilla and Tim say that the whole sorry saga is the final nail in the coffin for Starmer’s premiership, and he must resign.Elsewhere, Camilla and Tim look ahead to ousted Foreign Office civil servant Olly Robbins’s appearance before the Select Committee tomorrow, where they expect him to say that he couldn’t act on the results of Mandelson’s vetting as the Government had already announced his appointment.🚨 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!

Camilla and Hannah are joined by bestselling royal biographer Robert Hardman, author of the explosive new book Elizabeth II: In Private. In Public. The Inside Story, to reveal the secrets and scandals that rocked the late Queen’s reign. Hardman, the only biographer to have interviewed all senior members of the Royal Family, shares exclusive, inside details sourced from family, staff, advisors, and even President Donald Trump. He explains what ex-PM David Cameron told him about the real reason Andrew was stripped of his trade envoy status in 2011 and the “cold fury” within the Palace after Andrew secured the Queen’s consent for the disastrous 2019 Panorama interview, which he tragically thought “had all gone rather well”.And he shares the full story on the Harry and Meghan drama, revealing that the Queen genuinely “tried so hard” to build a strong relationship with Meghan. A senior aide, however, revealed that “The Queen had seen plenty of narcissists in her life” after THAT Oprah interview with the couple that shocked the world.🚨 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!

Sir Keir Starmer’s premiership is on the brink after it emerged that Peter Mandelson failed his vetting for the post of US ambassador, but was still appointed anyway.The Prime Minister says he wasn’t told and is “furious”, and Foreign Office civil servant Sir Olly Robbins has already become the latest “fall guy” for the Mandelson appointment, but Camilla and Jacob Rees-Mogg say Starmer is “either a knave or a fool” and must ultimately now fall on his sword.Camilla and Sir Jacob also look at the options for who might replace the Prime Minister if and when he resigns, with Ed Milliband and Angela Rayner seemingly top of the list.🚨 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!

Defence dominated a fiery return to PMQs as Tory leader Kemi Badenoch took on Prime Minister Keir Starmer in a war of words, seizing on criticism from former Labour defence secretary and NATO secretary general Lord Robertson over what he calls “complacency” on military spending.Camilla and Jacob-Rees Mogg react to the PM being pressed on defence investment plans as he says his military advisers are wrong to call him complacent, all while the British Army has shrunk to its smallest size in centuries.And an exclusive poll for The Telegraph suggests Labour could lose control of Wales for the first time since devolution, potentially falling to third place behind Plaid Cymru and Reform UK.🚨 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!

With fuel prices rocketing and threats of nationwide protests in the air, Camilla and Jacob speak to Reform’s economic spokesperson Robert Jenrick, who calls on the Government to cut VAT on fuel duty by half to help households and businesses. Jenrick also calls for the deportation of Axel Rudakubana’s parents, after the inquiry into the Southport attacks found that they could have prevented their son’s horrific knife rampage, but failed in their moral duty to report his alarming behaviour in the lead-up.Elsewhere, Camilla and Jacob also cross to Australia to speak to Telegraph deputy royal editor Victoria Ward.

Keir Starmer wants to move Britain even closer to the EU by aligning with single-market rules on food standards and carbon emissions. Not only that, but he also wants to do so using so-called “Henry VIII powers”, secondary legislation which could be approved without a Parliamentary vote.Camilla is joined by Jacob Rees-Mogg, who cannot understand why the UK would want to return to the more heavily regulated world of Brussels when the country has benefited from the flexibility of not being in the bloc.Elsewhere, Camilla and Jacob also discuss the findings of the Southport inquiry, with Axel Rudakubana’s parents blamed for not doing “what they morally ought to have done” by allowing his alarming behaviour to go unreported🚨 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!

Camilla and Tim are joined by royal historian Hugo Vickers, author of new biography Queen Elizabeth II: A Personal History, to lift the lid on what the late monarch was really like behind palace gates.Vickers, who met the Queen over 40 times, reveals how she really didn't get on with Meghan Markle - telling her off after she was rude to Windsor Castle gardeners and even fearing that the Sussexes would be wired up for recording during private meetings. Vickers also tells Camilla and Tim of his belief that Prince Philip was considering taking legal action against Netflix drama The Crown for its portrayal of the death of his sister, as well as how the Queen paid Andrew Mountbatten Windsor's settlement with Virginia Guiffre in order not to overshadow the Platinum Jubilee celebrations.🚨 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!

Amid more dire polling for Labour and the revelation that both he and the Defence Secretary were on holiday as Donald Trump threatened to wipe Iran off the map at the weekend, Keir Starmer has now disappeared to the Middle East for meetings with Gulf state leaders.The Telegraph’s political editor Tony Diver tells Camilla and Tim that, despite him having no say in ceasefire talks, this is a desperate, last-ditch strategy to portray Starmer as an international statesman by Number 10, with a local election wipe-out on the cards in May. Elsewhere, Tony also talks Camilla and Tim through his exclusive research that shows the UK is more divided than ever before.🚨 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!

Just as the Middle East appeared to be on the brink of an uncontrollable conflict, the US and Iran have announced a two-week ceasefire. The Pakistan-brokered deal will reopen the Strait of Hormuz – though with Tehran-imposed caveats – and offers “a chance at real peace”, says Pete Hegseth, the US defence secretary.Sir Keir Starmer is now jetting off to the Gulf, apparently to boost the morale of British troops there. But, Camilla Tominey and Tim Stanley ask, what is the point of his Lawrence of Arabia-style jaunt if he had nothing to do with the truce – and indeed had insisted throughout that this was “not our war”?Later, Gen Lord Dannatt, the former Army chief, told The Daily T that Britain has been “embarrassed” and “humiliated” by the Iran crisis and what it has revealed about our depleted defence capabilities.🚨 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!

Where the hell is Sir Keir Starmer? The Prime Minister has stayed out of the spotlight as the Middle East crisis escalates, holidaying while Donald Trump threatens to bomb Iran “back to the Stone Age”.Camilla and Tim debate whether the PM’s absence during such a critical moment is leadership or negligence. They also break down Trump’s Easter weekend spectacle with a giant bunny and his expletive-laden posts on Iran.And as Kanye West, the US rapper, is blocked from entering the UK after his controversial booking to headline Wireless Festival this summer, they ask whether the festival organisers were right to give West a “second chance” after his anti-Semitic comments which he has blamed on his bipolar disorder.🚨 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!

Prince William’s personal faith has been thrust into the spotlight, after a former royal chaplain accused the Prince of taking a “strategic and political” approach to religion.Camilla and Tim are joined by former Chaplain to Queen Elizabeth II, Gavin Ashenden, to debate whether the future King’s “quiet faith” is a sign of honesty, or a worrying shift away from the deeply Christian leadership embodied by the late Queen.They discuss claims that the Prince of Wales may not be “particularly religious,” how aides insist his beliefs “run deep” despite being private, and whether his focus on the Church’s social action - from food banks to homelessness - is enough for a future Supreme Governor of the Church of England.We want to hear from you!

This time last year, after Reform won nearly 700 council seats, Nigel Farage told voters: if you want to know how Reform would run the country, look at your local council.The party now runs 10 county councils and expects to gain more in May. They say they have taken on woke, slashed waste and saved residents money on their council tax.But critics argue they’ve been bogged down in racism rows and broken their promises on tax.Camilla and Tim dig into the truth about Reform’s record in local government, interviewing the council leader in Kent, and ask: what does this all mean for Farage’s chances of reaching No 10?We want to hear from you!
