Episode Details

Labour is reportedly plotting for Prime Minister’s Questions to be cancelled next week, meaning Sir Keir Starmer will avoid further scrutiny over the Mandelson scandal.

Camilla and Tim react to party whips' “dodgy” manoeuvres and unpack this afternoon’s exchange between Kemi Badenoch and Sir Keir, in which the PM admitted he had pushed for a plum ambassadorial role for Lord Doyle, his disgraced former communications chief.

Plus, they ask whether the Cabinet is turning against the Prime Minister – after a circumspect broadcast round from usually loyal Pat McFadden – as the first Labour MP calls on him to resign.
