Today, we look back at a very difficult week for Keir Starmer and the Government. Lord Mandelson's sacking as UK ambassador to the US comes only days after the Prime Minister reshuffled his cabinet and the resignation of his deputy, Angela Rayner. Starmer sacked Lord Mandelson after new information emerged about his friendship with convicted paedophile Jeffrey Epstein – a week before US President Trump's visit to the UK. Where does this string of trouble leave the party?

Another week, another departure. Conservative MP Neil O'Brien – who serves in the shadow cabinet as minister for policy renewal and development – was granted an urgent question in Parliament this morning, to question the government about Peter Mandelson. Then the news broke that Lord Mandelson had been sacked by Keir Starmer following further disclosures about his relationship with Jeffrey Epstein. Neil joins Tim Shipman and James Heale to discuss the latest developments and also the questions that still remain: what did they know about Mandelson's relationship with Epstein; if they didn't know, why didn't they know; and will the government be forced to release their vetting files on Mandelson's apppointment? Plus: Tim pushes Neil for his reflections on the last Conservative government – given he supported colleagues who broke the ministerial code, whether the Tories will support Labour's attempts at welfare reform and whether we can expect the same excitement at Tory conference as we saw at Reform.Produced by Patrick Gibbons.Become a Spectator subscriber today to access this podcast without adverts.

In an entirely predictable turn of events, just twenty four hours after publicly backing the US Ambassador, Keir Starmer has now sacked Peter Mandelson after "additional information" came to light about the nature of his friendship with Jeffrey Epstein.Whilst it could, and perhaps should, mean that Mandelson's long political career has been brought to an end, it also reflects just as badly on the Prime Minister's judgement in appointing him in the first place, and then deciding to support him in the face of the Daily Telegraph's investigations. Camilla and Tim ask whether the Prime Minister, who so readily promoted his integrity whilst in opposition, still has any left.They also speak to the Chair of Republicans Overseas, Greg Swenson, about the tragic assassination of Charlie Kirk, and ask whether conservative values are under attack.Producers: Lilian Fawcett and Georgia CoanSenior Producer: John CadiganPlanning Editor: Venetia RaineyVideo Editor: Will WaltersStudio Director: Meghan SearleSocial Producer: Charlotte HocquetExecutive Producer: Charlotte Seligman Hosted on Acast.

For the third time in his political career, Peter Mandelson has fallen from high office in a scandal linked to rich and powerful men - this time it was his relationship with the disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein that was his undoing. Lord Mandelson was sacked from his role as UK ambassador to the US after leaked emails showed him offering support for Epstein even after a sex offence conviction. Downing Street said the Prime Minister found 'the depth and extent of the relationship reprehensible.' But questions are now being asked about Keir Starmer's judgement in appointing him in the first place given Lord Mandelson has attracted - some would say courted - controversy throughout his career. He was widely considered to be doing a good job in Washington though, with a good rapport with President Trump. Is that relationship now damaged? On the latest episode of the Fourcast, Cathay Newman was joined by the Labour peer Ayesha Hazarika, the author and political journalist Ian Dunt who has written extensively on Lord Mandelson and the film-maker Richard Sanders who produced the Dispatches documentary that first revealed the friendship between the two men.

There are some new (and old) faces on the left of British politics hoping to challenge Keir Starmer's struggling Labour government, but could a party to the left of Labour ever win power? His predecessor Jeremy Corbyn has setup a new party with another former Labour MP, Zarah Sultana, who has declared that “Labour is dead”. And the Green Party of England and Wales has elected eco-populist Zack Polanski, who is urging left-leaning voters to back him rather than waiting around for Corbyn's party to get off the ground. The journalist and political commentator Ash Sarkar has written a book called ‘Minority Rule', which argues that the Left has become bogged down in identity politics and needs to stop fighting the culture wars so it can focus on building a broad coalition of support.A contributing editor at left-wing media organisation Novara Media, Ash discusses the radical potential for a Marxist approach to contemporary British politics and why she thinks Karl Marx would've loved Twitter. She also talks to Amol about why she can't think of a ‘dumber group of people' than Keir Starmer's cabinet and what lies behind the recent success of Nigel Farage's Reform UK.

Peter Mandelson, the so-called “Prince of Darkness” got sacked this morning, thanks to fresh revelations of his lengthy friendship with sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. Now all eyes are turning to his replacement … Could George Osborne himself be getting the call up for US Ambassador?He and Ed Balls consider what this sudden, inglorious end for Mandelson's diplomatic career means for the government. How could this affect the all-important upcoming state visit from US President Donald Trump, who himself is facing questions around his links to Epstein? It's not the only tumult for Keir Starmer's government, that was hoping to reset its way into a calmer period. The deputy leadership contest in the wake of Angela Rayner's resignation is underway. Ed and George consider if this may be a bigger problem for Starmer than was bargained for?

Kemi Badenoch has just skewered Keir Starmer at Prime Minister's Questions on the topic of Peter Mandelson's association with the convicted paedophile Jeffrey Epstein. Badenoch learned from her mistakes last week and devoted all six of her questions to trying to get Mandelson fired as British Ambassador to Washington. She pointed out that the victims of Epstein had ‘called for Lord Mandelson to be sacked', and then asked whether Starmer had been aware ‘of this intimate relationship when he appointed Lord Mandelson to be our ambassador in Washington'.It was potentially her most convincing performance yet and she managed to pull together diffuse threads of world and domestic affairs into a focussed attack on the Prime Minister and his US ambassador's credibility. Will Starmer be forced to act?Oscar Edmondson speaks to James Heale and Isabel Hardman.Produced by Oscar Edmondson.Become a Spectator subscriber today to access this podcast without adverts.
