This week on Political Business, we break down one of the most turbulent weeks in UK politics.

We examine the fast-moving story surrounding Peter Mandelson, the Epstein files, and allegations of historic cabinet leaks — and what this means for Keir Starmer, Number 10, and Labour’s judgement in government.

We also analyse the Gorton and Denton by-election campaign so far, discussing

• Labour’s ground operation in Greater Manchester
• Reform’s decision to stand Matt Goodwin
• The Green Party’s campaign, and what message they might have for voters

Finally, we turn to policy, discussing the government’s proposed overnight visitor levy, what it could mean for high streets, tourism, and local government funding — and how business groups are responding.

We unpack the strategy, the politics, and the real-world business implications behind the headlines.
