Episode Details

Peter Mandelson is under criminal investigation by the Metropolitan Police over claims that he leaked confidential government emails to Jeffrey Epstein.

The Labour peer finally stepped down from the House of Lords today following a damaging week for the Government, after newly released material laid bare his relationship with the convicted sex offender.

The revelations have intensified pressure on Labour and reopened questions about why the twice-disgraced former Cabinet minister was brought back into the fold time and again.

Camilla and Tim assess what Lord Mandelson’s resignation means for Sir Keir Starmer’s leadership, and Tim explains the web of Labour relationships that linked Mandy to Epstein.

Plus, attention turns again to Andrew Mountabatten-Windsor, amid reports he could imminently leave Royal Lodge for accommodation on the Sandringham estate as a potential criminal investigation hangs over him.
