5:00Now PlayingThe prime minister has weathered a difficult day with three serious tests to his leadership.
It began with evidence from ex-Foreign Office boss Sir Philip Barton about the appointment of Peter Mandelson as the UK's ambassador to the US.
Morgan McSweeney, Sir Keir Starmer's former chief of staff, was next - he told MPs Mandelson's appointment was a "serious error of judgement".
And finally, the PM survived a vote on whether there should be a parliamentary inquiry into whether he misled the House over the Mandelson issue.
