Starmer takes responsibility for Mandelson – but did he lie to Parliament?
Description
It’s the day after the release of the Mandelson files and now attention is turning to what isn’t in the documents. Crucially, we don’t know how the Prime Minister responded once he was presented with clear evidence that the Labour peer had a close friendship with Jeffrey Epstein.
Sir Keir has insisted to Parliament that due process was followed at all times. But Tim and Camilla ask: do the revelations contained in these files make a mockery of that claim?
Plus, the Government has pushed ahead with a formal definition of anti-Muslim hate despite concerns that it will be used to suppress free speech. We’re joined by the former Tory MP and lawyer Dominic Grieve, who co-wrote the new definition, to ask why Labour is prioritising this kind of discrimination just as anti-Semitism is on the rise.
