Theresa May is to send out a fleet of ‘ad vans’ to reinforce her Brexit messageamid claims of a split among her most senior aides.

The Tory leader is considering dispatching the advertising vans around the country as the part of a final push to convince voters she is best placed to negotiate Britain’s exit from the European Union.

Tory strategists are hoping that switching the focus to the fact that Brexit talks start just 11 days after next Thursday's general election will concentrate minds among the electorate.
