Will we ever know everything about Peter Mandelson?
Keir Starmer says the controversy over Peter Mandelson’s appointment as US ambassador has been “put to bed” but it would seem the political fallout is far from over.
In this episode of Electoral Dysfunction, we break down the latest developments as key figures, including Morgan McSweeney and senior Foreign Office officials, are called to give evidence to the Commons. Could this inquiry reveal new details and why is one testimony already being described as “box office”?
We also analyse what this means for Starmer after a difficult week in UK politics, and ask the big question: should all vetting information be made public?
Peter Mandelson continues to deny any wrongdoing.
