Summary
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?
