Why Starmer’s desperate ‘global statesman’ rebrand isn’t fooling anyone | The Daily T

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 ALERT: 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.
