18:24Now PlayingJames O'Brien reflects on whether Prime Minister Keir Starmer will be able to recover from the decision to appoint Peter Mandelson as British Ambassador to the US in light of the Epstein Files.
It comes as the Met launched a criminal investigation into Lord Mandelson following claims he passed market-sensitive information to Jeffrey Epstein.
The Cabinet Office has referred material to police after reviewing Epstein file documents that suggest he forwarded internal government information to Epstein when he was business secretary in 2009.
On Sunday, Mandelson reiterated his regret for "ever having known Epstein" and for continuing his association following Epstein's conviction.
The Conservatives are planning to force a vote in the Commons tomorrow on the government publishing more information related to Mandelson.
