Summary
Things are going from bad to worse for Sir Keir Starmer. Despite giving an interview this weekend insisting he can “fight on” and win the next general election, opposition parties have successfully forced a vote on whether to refer the PM to the parliamentary privileges committee, whilst his rivals within the Labour are also plotting furiously.
Camilla and Tim reflect on the news that Angela Rayner and Andy Burnham are being urged to make a pact, as well as that Commons vote tomorrow, which comes on the same day Morgan McSweeney will give evidence to the foreign affairs select committee.
Elsewhere, Camilla and Tim also ask whether the King and Queen can save the special relationship, with their four-day visit to the States about to commence against the backdrop of a failed attempt on President Trump’s life at the weekend.
🚨 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, Tim and their guests.

| 1:14.6 | Tim, it's a marathon, not a sprint. I say that, bearing in mind that there are lots of people walking around a day wearing their medals. Yesterday was your day. Why? Now just go home and rest. What happened? Sorry, what? There was a marathon yesterday. Oh, really? Okay. I thought, am I supposed to be wearing a poppy? No. All right.

| 1:34.3 | yesterday. Somebody broke a world record and ran it in less than two hours and people are walking |
