Episode description

It's shaping up to be Keir Starmer's worst week since...last week. 


The PM is facing calls to sack US Ambassador Lord Mandelson after new revelations about his ties to Jeffrey Epstein.


Camilla and Tim speak to Robert Mendick, the Telegraph journalist behind some of the most damning reports, including that Mandelson worked with Epstein on a £1bn business deal even after his conviction for child sex offences.


They also review Kemi Badenoch’s best PMQs yet, which saw her rake the PM over the coals on whether Mandelson was properly vetted.
