Episode description

Sir Keir Starmer is facing mounting pressure in Parliament over his handling of Lord Mandelson’s resignation as US ambassador. 


Tory leader Kemi Badenoch has accused Starmer and his chief of staff Morgan McSweeney of having “forced through” Mandelson’s appointment, despite warnings, with the party demanding the release of the so-called “Mandelson-Epstein files”.


Camilla and Tim ask if the controversy is at risk of overshadowing President Donald Trump’s state visit this week.


And Tim speaks to Father Ted co-creator Graham Linehan about the gender-critical social media posts that saw him arrested by armed police at Heathrow Airport and what it means for the future of free speech online.
