Will the Mandelson Scandal Bring Down Keir Starmer? | Political Frenemies #45
Description
Political Frenemies dives headfirst into Westminster meltdown mode as former Tory adviser Chris Newton, Lib Dem activist Mathew Hulbert, and academic and ex–Labour adviser Matt Lloyd unpack the explosive fallout from the Mandelson–Epstein scandal. From Mandelson’s association with Epstein to KeirStarmer’s jaw-dropping admission that he knew about it when appointing Mandelson as ambassador, the trio tear into a week of high political drama that culminated in one of the most bruising PMQs in recent memory. Sharp, partisan, and occasionally brutal, the episode closes with the question now hanging over British politics: are we finally watching the beginning of the end for Starmer?
