Andrew's arrest spells trouble for Labour
Episode description
Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor has been released under caution after he was arrested on suspicion of misconduct in public office – the image of him sat slumped in the back of a car while leaving Norfolk police station on his 66th birthday splashes all the morning papers. Focussing on the politics, his could throw up lots of difficult questions for Labour and Keir Starmer – and governments famously don’t much like talking about the Royals. What problems will this cause Starmer?
In other news, it is not shaping up to be an easy return after recess, not least with Donald Trump’s latest intervention on the Chagos deal. How many more setbacks can the plan endure?
Oscar Edmondson speaks to Tim Shipman and James Heale.
