The Daily T

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. With Prince Harry and Meghan Markle in the country making philanthropic visits alongside lucrative personal appearances, they ask if this is simply a Royal tour in disguise?

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

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.

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.

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.
