The Week: When Keir Starmer Sacked Peter Mandelson
Today, we look back at a very difficult week for Keir Starmer and the Government.
Lord Mandelson’s sacking as UK ambassador to the US comes only days after the Prime Minister reshuffled his cabinet and the resignation of his deputy, Angela Rayner.
Starmer sacked Lord Mandelson after new information emerged about his friendship with convicted paedophile Jeffrey Epstein – a week before US President Trump’s visit to the UK.
Where does this string of trouble leave the party? And, why is there so much focus on one of Keir Starmer’s main advisors?
Adam is joined in the studio by Sienna Rodgers, Deputy Editor at The House Magazine and Patrick Maguire, Chief Political Commentator at the Times.
