Episode Details

Kemi Badenoch criticized Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer for appointing Lord Peter Mandelson as ambassador to Washington, citing concerns over Mandelsons past ties to Jeffrey Epstein and questioning Starmers due diligence. Starmer admitted a mistake and apologized to Epsteins victims. During Prime Ministers Questions, Badenoch pressed Starmer on reports of Mandelson lying to him, but Starmer dodged the question, insisting the appointment followed a clear process. Badenoch accused Starmer of avoiding scrutiny, while Starmer criticized Badenochs past call for Britain to join a war in Iran without weighing the risks. Starmer also targeted Badenochs shadow justice secretary for comments labeling public Muslim prayers as an act of domination. Mandelson was arrested in February and sacked in September 2025, with a taxpayer payout, and is still under investigation.
