Starmer's integrity in tatters over Mandelson sacking
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.
