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!
