About this episode
Keir Starmer was given a grilling at Prime Minister’s Questions this lunchtime, with Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch forcing the Prime Minister into admitting that he was aware of Peter Mandelson’s ongoing relationship with Jeffrey Epstein at the time of his appointment as US ambassador, but decided to press ahead with the move anyway.Starmer, for his part, threw the one-time party grandee to the wolves, saying Mandelson had “lied repeatedly to his team, had “betrayed” his country with the apparent leaking of sensitive financial documents and “regretted appointing him”.On today’s Daily T, Camilla and Tim reflect on whether, with his own MPs turning on him again, and his self-ascribed reputation of being a squeaky clean man of integrity lying in tatters, Keir Starmer himself is now finished.We want to hear from you!
