Author: The Telegraph May 11, 2026 Duration: 36:27

In the aftermath of catastrophic local election results for Labour, Sir Keir Starmer gave a speech to MPs on Monday in a desperate bid to retain their support.


But with his shabby outfit and outdated ideas, the Prime Minister only dug himself a deeper grave. Camilla and Tim catch up with the Telegraph’s Chief Political Commentator, Ben Riley-Smith, on the mood inside No 10 as challengers eye the premiership.


Plus, Green leader Zack Polanski has been caught out in another lie by the Telegraph. But will this latest revelation even matter to his voters?

This daily podcast from The Telegraph is driven by the candid chemistry and quick wit of Associate Editor Camilla Tominey and columnist Tim Stanley.
