Sir Keir Starmer has been forced into an embarrassing scramble to send a warship to Cyprus, after France announced a major deployment to Mediterranean.


Camilla and Tim speak to Labour MP Emily Thornberry, chair of the foreign affairs select committee, who has called the US-Israel strikes on Iran illegal – and tells The Daily T, “you can't attack a country because you don’t like it and because you want it to be different.”


Meanwhile, the Chancellor has delivered her Spring Statement, in which she took the opportunity to re-run some of Labour’s most tired attack lines. Tim and Camilla are joined by shadow chancellor Mel Stride and his former party colleague, Reform’s Robert Jenrick, to unpack how Rachel Reeve's rosy-sounding figures are hiding a much darker economic picture.
