Today, we hear from the family of Virginia Giuffre, who became the most prominent victim of Jeffrey Epstein.
In an interview with Laura, they said that Lord Mandelson should never have been given the position of UK ambassador to the United States.
And Business Secretary Peter Kyle told her it was "highly unlikely" Lord Mandelson would have been appointed if the extent of his relationship with Epstein was known to those in government.
We unpack the interview, the government response, and what it means for Keir Starmer.
We also look ahead to the state visit of Donald Trump, which starts on Tuesday.
