YouTube Description
as posted by the channel“Either we don’t know what the Prime Minister did, which is a bad thing, or, and in somehow it's symbolic, he didn't do very much on a very significant appointment.”
Although the Mandelson files have been heavily redacted, Starmer’s mishandling of Mandelson’s “rotten appointment” proves he simply “doesn’t lead”, says Labour MP for Blackley and Middleton South, Graham Stringer.
Oliver Wright, Graham Stringer, and Joe Powell were speaking to John Pienaar on Times Radio Drive. Listen live every Monday to Thursday from 4pm–7pm.
